FAQ
How long can I keep an indoor plant alive?
Indoor plants can last for many years. However, it's important to repot your plant every few months to help promote new growth. Repotting is simple. Remove the old soil and place fresh compost.
How do I prepare the soil for a garden?
Preparing soil to grow vegetables is very simple. First, get rid of all weeds. Then, add organic matter such as composted manure, leaves, grass clippings, straw, or wood chips. Finally, water well and wait until plants sprout.
What's the difference between aquaponic and hydroponic gardening?
Hydroponic gardening relies on nutrient rich water rather than soil to provide nutrients for plants. Aquaponics combines fish tanks with plants to create a self-sufficient ecosystem. It's almost like having a farm right at home.
What's the first thing you should do when you begin a garden project?
First, prepare the soil before you start a garden. This involves adding organic matter, such as composted soil, grass clippings and leaves, straw or other material, to help provide nutrients for the plants. Next, plant the seeds or seedlings in the holes. Water thoroughly.
How do I know what type of soil I have?
It is easy to tell the difference by the color of your dirt. You will find more organic matter in darker soils that those of lighter colors. Another option is to test the soil. These tests assess the soil's nutritional content.
