FAQ
What is the difference in hydroponics and aquaponics?

What size space is required for a vegetable garden?
A good rule is that 1 square foot of soil needs 1/2 pound. For example, if you have a 10 foot by 10 foot area (3 meters by three meters), 100 pounds of seeds will be required.
When is it best to plant herbs?
Plant herbs in spring when the soil temperatures are 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Plant them in full sun for best results. Plant basil indoors by placing seedlings into pots containing potting mix. Keep them out of direct sun until they sprout leaves. When the plants have started to grow, transfer them into bright indirect sunlight. After three to four weeks, transplant them into individual containers. Keep them hydrated.
What is a planting calendar?
A planting calendar lists the plants that should all be planted at various times during the year. The goal is for plants to grow at their best while minimizing stress.

Fall crops include carrots, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, and potatoes.
