FAQ
What is the best vegetable garden layout?
It all depends on where you live. For easy harvesting, you can plant vegetables together if the area is large. However, if you live in a rural area, you should space out your plants for maximum yield.
What amount of sunlight does a plant require?
It depends on which plant it is. Some plants need 12 hours of direct sun per day. Others prefer 8 to 10 hours of indirect sun. Vegetables require at least 10 hours of direct sunlight per 24-hour period.
What is the difference between aquaponic gardening or hydroponic?
Hydroponic gardening relies on nutrient rich water rather than soil to provide nutrients for plants. Aquaponics is a system that combines fish tanks and plants to create an ecosystem that is self-sufficient. It's like having a farm right in your backyard.

Basil growing tips
Basil is one herb you can use to make many different dishes in your kitchen. Basil is great to add flavor to dishes, sauces or pastas. Here are some tips to grow basil indoors.
-
Carefully choose your location. Basil is an annual plant that will only survive one season if placed in the correct place. It can tolerate partial shade but prefers full sun. It is best to grow it outdoors in an area with good air circulation.
-
Plant the seeds. Basil seeds should always be planted at least 2 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds 1/2 inch deep in small pots filled with potting mix. Clear plastic wrap should be used to cover the pots. Germination takes approximately ten days. Once they are germinated, transfer them to a protected area where the temperatures are at 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Transplant the seedlings once they're big enough to handle. Take off the plastic wrap and transfer the seedlings to larger containers. Fill each container with potting mix and add some gravel or pebbles to help drain excess moisture. Add more potting mixes as necessary. Place the containers in indirect or sunny light. The plants should be misted daily to prevent them from wilting.
-
After the dangers of frost have passed, mulch the plants. This will protect them from cold weather and reduce water loss.
-
Water the plants regularly. Basil needs regular watering to thrive. To determine how much water your plants require, use a rain gauge. Use a timer to automatically turn off irrigation during dry spells.
-
Make sure to pick basil right when it is at its peak. To encourage bushier growth, pick the leaves often.
-
Use paper towels to dry leaves. Dry the leaves in glass jars and bags in the fridge.
