How To
How to begin gardening
Gardening is one of the oldest forms of agriculture. It takes patience, persistence, determination, and perseverance. The first step in starting your own garden is choosing a location where you want to grow food. You could choose to plant food on a large parcel of land, or in your own backyard. Next, decide what type of plants you want to grow. Do you prefer vegetables or flowers? Some people enjoy growing herbs and others prefer raising livestock like rabbits. Before you decide what crops to plant, you should think about how much space is available. If you live in a climate that experiences cold winters, then you might decide to grow fruits or berries as they do well in colder climates.
Once you have chosen what you will be planting, you must take some time to prepare your soil. It is vital that your soil is prepared properly to determine whether or not your plants will thrive. High quality soil is rich in organic matter, which feeds your plants' roots. Organic matter includes leaves, twigs (grass clippings), manure, compost, and manure. After you have prepared the soil, you will need to add nutrients. You will need different amounts of nutrients depending on which type of plants are being grown. A fertilizer calculator online can help you determine these values. Many fertilizers are available, so make sure you know what you are buying.
After you have prepared the soil and added nutrients, it is time to wait for your seeds germination. This can take anywhere from two weeks to three months depending on where you live and how warm it is. Once your seeds have sprouted, you need to water them regularly. Watering your plants too little or too often can cause problems. Ensure you give your plants enough water at regular intervals and avoid overwatering. Overwatering could lead to root rot as well as fungal diseases. It is important to remember that plants will need less water in summer than in winter when watering them. Keep in mind that certain plants may need to be dried after being watered. Tomatoes for instance need to remain slightly moist, but not wet. Soggy soil is not a good choice for tomatoes. After the plants have finished flowering they must go dormant. When plants stop producing new growth, they go dormant and start storing energy for next season's harvest. Dormancy occurs when the plant stops sending signals that tell its roots to produce food. Throughout this time, plants can store energy. However, if the temperatures drop below freezing and there isn't enough sunlight, the plant will go to sleep.
If you live in an urban environment, you may find yourself limited in the kinds of plants that you can grow. Concrete sidewalks, roads, buildings and parking lots are all common in urban areas. These blocks block sunlight from reaching ground level. Concrete absorbs sunlight and blocks the soil below from receiving adequate sun exposure. This is why many plants cannot thrive in cities. There are still plants that thrive in urban environments. Many trees, perennials, shrubs, as well as shrubs can be adapted to urban living. Many annuals can be grown indoors, too, in containers. Container gardens can be used to grow greenery indoors year-round, no matter what the weather outside.
Now you're ready to plant.
