Hi I'm trying to create a mini home garden of veggies like spinach, lettuce varieties, cherry tomatoes, basil chives ..etc. And some flowersMy little seedlings are growing well the have just germinated and are sproutingBut in some pots I didn't use pots with holes in the bottom simply because I didn't find any good ones is this going to affect my plants?! What can I do to get around it? I am worried about the nitrogen stacking up in the soilAnother thing is do u have any ideas for sprouts o leaves that are edible, a nice quick harvest and that can grow in small pots like beansprouts for example.. I can't seem to recall any names of these VeggiesI would appreciate any kind of hone gardening tips and Ideas so please feel free to elaborate or summarize, be creative or realistic I could use all and everything
The first step in beginning your own garden is to determine what you want to grow. Are you looking to spruce up your front lawn? Consider planting some colorful perennials around your walkway and driveway to draw attention to your landscaping. Are you looking to grow fruits and vegetables for you and your family to enjoy? Convert your backyard into a fresh produce grocer by planting edible crops. If it is your first time planting food, it is recommended that you start small with items like tomatoes, peppers, or squash. It is important to consider how many people you are planning to feed, as this will determine how much you need to grow. Once you have figured that out, you will be able to determine how much space you need. Don’t forget to think about the location of the sun and the quality of the soil you will be planting in. After your seeds have been planted, be sure to monitor their water intake. Check on the plants daily to ensure that there is no damage from weather elements or animals.
Well, I always use pots with holes. Plants don't like wet feet, except they're pond plants. Use some base layer (gravels, or some crushed bricks) then put the soil. (not garden soil as they will turn firm and soggy, for beginners use ready to use soil based potting mix) For worrying about the nitrogen stuff, adding perlite to your soil are the solution, they will absorbs the nutrients and keep them inside the soil. Alfalfa sprouts are quick, they just like bean sprout. :)
Initially I really appreciate you for thinking about soil part while growing yields. Agriculture is one of the main reasons for soil destroyed, and we really need to think ahead. Home gardening is very clear option for people as they don't get time to keep watch on growing yields, even need to think about soil part also. Few days back my friend suggested me to have a little experience with hydroponic gardening, yeah, I used it, and its awesome method for indoor gardening doesn’t need soil for yield growing. With quality use of hydroponic nutrients and proper guidance you can grow any kind of vegetables, and fruits. Hydroponic gardening works smooth in any weather conditions, except dim sunlight.
