FAQ
Which seeds should I start indoors and which ones should I avoid?
A tomato seed is the best seed to start indoors. Tomatoes can be grown quickly and they bear fruit all year. It is important to be careful when planting tomatoes in containers. Planting too soon can cause soil to dry out and root rot. Also, be aware of diseases such as bacterial wilt, which can kill plants quickly.
How can you prepare the soil to grow vegetables in your garden?
Preparing soil for a vegetable garden is easy. First, get rid of all weeds. Next, add organic matter like composted manure and leaves, grass clippings or straw. After watering, wait for plants to sprout.
How do I know what type of soil I have?
You can tell by looking at the color of the dirt. You will find more organic matter in darker soils that those of lighter colors. A second option is soil testing. These tests determine the amount of nutrients in the soil.
