FAQ

Can I plant fruit trees in pots

Yes! Yes, pots are possible to grow fruit trees if space is tight. You should make sure that your pot has drainage holes to keep excess moisture from rotting the tree. Also ensure that the pot is large enough to accommodate the root ball. This will prevent the tree from being stressed.

Do I need special equipment to grow vegetables in my garden?

Not really. You only need a trowel, shovel, watering can, and a rake.

What is the first thing to do when starting a garden?

The first step to starting a garden is to prepare it. This involves adding organic matter, such as composted soil, grass clippings and leaves, straw or other material, to help provide nutrients for the plants. Next, plant seedlings or seeds in the prepared holes. Finally, water thoroughly.

Which is the best layout for a vegetable garden?

The best vegetable garden layout 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 is the purpose of a planting calendar?

A planting schedule is a list listing the dates when plants should be planted. The goal is for plants to grow at their best while minimizing stress.
