I have a pretty nice spot i want to use how should I start? I‘ve got a tiller and some old veggie/fruit scraps that I wanted to throw in or should I? I need help Thanks
Start by tilling the area. I then add organic fertilizers and rake them in. This will attract beneficial insect and other soil beneficial bugs. IF this is your first year gardening you may want to experiment with seedling started from seed, but also by purchasing some seedling from your local nursery. try to stay away from buying 6 pack containers. buy them in 4 in pots. You really dont want to have 6 zuchinni plants around. One plant is enough for a family of four. Same thing with tomatos. I usually only get 3 different tomatos. An early variety, a beef stake for sandwiches, and a cherry for salads and snacking. Try to avoid putting matter into the garden that isn't already composted. Composition requires nitrogen, as well as the plants need nitrogen. Sometimes decomposition process will tie up the nitrogen and deprive your plants of it. Also during composition the soil will heat up and this may also cause your plants problems. Use a compost pile instead. remember that the best tyupe of vegetable is the jsut picked varity, and this includes corn. It doesn't need to be heated to be enjoyed.
Hi: I am a landscaper and designer. There is a very simple method to follow, it is called plan - prep - plant. I will link you to this page on my website. Plan out your garden, properly prep your garden and then plant. You can start your seedling indoors first or directly into the ground. If you start your seedlings indoors you will want to purchase a light weight potting soil. (no bark) Add some vermiculite and some humus to the soil. Add hot water as this will help your root systems get established. If you are sowing your seeds directly into the ground, it is so important to properly prepare the soil. If you have weeds or grass, buy a weed and grass killer and apply it to the area. Wait one week to make sure you have gotten all the roots. Go ahead and till the soil over several times. The more you till the soil the healthier it will be for you fruits and vegetables. You can add scraps to your soil such as egg shells and coffee grounds. You could also start a compost pile for next years garden. Make sure you properly place all your plants and water regularly. Add some organic mushroom compost to the soil. This is a great organic fertilizer that will last up to one year. It doesn't smell great but your fruits and vegetables will love it! You can put down some pine straw in the garden as this will help retain the moisture. I hope this has helped some. I will also link you to the site map of the website, as this page has everything that is on the website. Browse through as there are many different articles, tips, and techniques. There is a page on spring and fruits and vegetables. Good luck on your garden, and depending on where you live, will depend on when you plant. Fruits and vegetables should not go into the ground until after the last frost as well as when your ground temperature warms up. Have a great day!

Hi, The most affordable and 'home-made' way to grow your own plants is to either use seeds from your favorite fruits and veggies (bill peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc.) or to buy packaged seeds. Some like to purchase a small plastic green-house type container that can hold 50 seedlings or more and even come pre-seeded for you. (They aren't that big, so you can keep it in most places in your house without it getting in your way.) If budget is an issue, you can use styrofoam or paper cups or some other creative means of small holders to start your plants in. These days, you can buy anything, so you can either go out and buy a cheap mulch or just grab some dirt from your backyard. Because plants can often be tricky to grow until your 'green thumb' is cultivated, you might want to start by growing at least 5 of each flower/veggie type as a few might not make it for whatever reason. Keep the soil damp (don't flood the little guys) and keep in sunlight up high out of reach of kids or pets (who always want to sit on them!). After they are a few inches high and look strong enough to endure the great outdoors, transfer them to your garden! (The reason I don't start seedlings outside away is because after trying it before, they didn't make it for whatever reason and it was very hard to tell them apart from the other weeds that constantly try to take them out) Make sure you plant them in wet soil and keep them wet - especially for the first few days as they usually don't like the 'big move' to the outdoors right away. Also, don't forget to mark which plant is what during the whole process - a small but important detail. Happy Gardening!
