FAQ
Which type of lighting is best for indoor plants?
Because they emit less heat than traditional incandescent bulbs, Florescent lights are ideal for indoor plant growth. They can also provide steady lighting without flickering and dimming. You can find regular or compact fluorescent fluorescent bulbs. CFLs use up to 75% less energy than traditional bulbs.
When is it best to plant herbs?
When the soil temperature is 55°F, herbs should be planted in spring. To get the best results, they should be planted in full sun. Plant basil indoors by placing seedlings into pots containing potting mix. Keep them out of direct sun until they sprout leaves. Once the plants begin to grow properly, you should move them into bright indirect lights. After three weeks, transplant the plants to individual containers. Water them frequently.
What's the first thing you should do when you begin a garden project?
When beginning a garden, the first thing to do is to prepare the soil. This includes adding organic matter like composted cow manure, grass clippings leaves, straw, and so on, which will help to provide plant nutrients. Next, plant seeds or seedlings into prepared holes. Finally, make sure to water thoroughly.
How do I know what type of soil I have?
The color of the soil can tell you how much organic matter it contains. You will find more organic matter in darker soils that those of lighter colors. Another option is to test the soil. These tests measure the number of nutrients present in the soil.
How big is a vegetable gardening space?
It is best to remember that 1/2 pound of seed will be required for every square foot. If you have a 10-foot by 10-foot area (3m by 3m), then 100 pounds will be needed.
What is the difference between hydroponic gardening and aquaponic gardening?
Hydroponic gardening relies on nutrient rich water rather than soil to provide nutrients for plants. Aquaponics uses fish tanks to grow plants. You can have your farm right at your house!

How To
How to grow basil
Basil is one among the most versatile herbs you could use in your kitchen. It's great for flavoring dishes, adding flavor to soups, sauces, salads, pasta, and even desserts. These are some helpful tips to help you grow basil indoors.
-
It is important to choose the right location. Basil is an annual plant that will only survive one season if placed in the correct place. It prefers full sunshine but can tolerate some shade. It is best to grow it outdoors in an area with good air circulation.
-
Plant the seeds. Basil seeds must be planted at the latest two weeks before last frost. Place the seeds 1/2 inch deep into small pots containing potting mix. The pots should be covered with clear plastic wrap. Germination typically takes around ten days. Once germinated, move the pots into a shaded area where temperatures stay around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Once the seeds are big enough, it's time to transplant them. Remove the plastic wrap and transplant the seedlings into larger containers. Pour the potting mix into each container. Add gravel or pebbles to drain excess moisture. You can add more potting mix if necessary. Place the containers in a sunny window or in indirect light. To prevent wilting, mist the plants every day.
-
After the dangers of frost have passed, mulch the plants. This will protect them against cold weather and reduce water losses.
-
Water the plants regularly. Basil needs regular watering to thrive. Use a rain gauge to check how much water the plants need. Use a timer, which will turn off the irrigation when there is no rain.
-
You should pick your basil at its peak. For bushier growth, pick leaves more often.
-
The leaves can then be dried on paper towels, screens, or other suitable surfaces. Store dried leaves in glass jars or bags in the refrigerator.
