UN CURSO INTENSIVO SOBRE EL CULTIVO DE INCREÍBLES ALIMENTOS
¿Cuáles son los beneficios de la jardinería?
You can really taste the difference between small homegrown batches of vegetables compared to mass-produced crops. Sorry supermarket, but there’s a new sheriff in town, with bigger, better produce. Be in complete control of your harvest—ditch the herbicides and pesticides and use natural methods that are just as effective! Enjoy the fruits (and vegetables) of your labor, knowing exactly what you’re putting in your body and where it came from.
What Are the Gardening Basics?
Whether you’re gardening in containers, your backyard, or on a sunny windowsill, the key elements to consider are soil, water, sun, and patience. To dive into more details, sign up for our newsletter and get our game changing gardening tips delivered straight to your inbox.
How Much Does Growing Food Cost?
The final cost depends on what you want to grow and how big your operation is. For the most part, growing your own food costs significantly less than shopping at grocery stores. Seed packets start at $1 and contain 800-2000 seeds, whereas you’ll be hard-pressed to buy even a single zucchini for less than $1.
Should a Vegetable Garden Be in Full Sun?
Vegetables do grow best in full sun; however, don’t worry if your garden location sees a bit of shade. As long as your vegetables get at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day, they’ll be just fine. Make sure you plant your shorter plants in front of tall plants so they aren’t obstructed.
How Do You Make a Vegetable Garden Beautiful?
Don’t be fooled into thinking vegetable gardens are all straight, boring rows with tacky handwritten labels. There’s tons of room to add your own creative flair and personality! Apply techniques like color blocking, defining lines with crisp edges and pathways, and planting a mix of edibles with colorful ornamental flowers.
URBAN GARDENERS CAN GROW VEGETABLES!
How Do I Succeed as an Urban Gardener?
Trying is the first step to success, and getting to cook with tasty garden ingredients is a pretty sweet incentive! All you need are a few containers, dirt, and seeds to grow your own veggies all season long—and yes, that includes during the winter, too. There’ll be good vibes a’plenty when you settle into your cozy greenspace as the snow flies outside.
Limited Space? No Worries!
Containers are a small space gardener’s best friend. No need to stress about limited growing options—many vegetables, and even some dwarf fruit trees are perfectly content in containers. With so many different container styles and sizes it’s easy to dress up your balcony or patio to give off the ultimate green thumb vibe. Another perk? When winter rolls in, bring your container garden inside for fresh produce even during the colder months.
What Vegetables Can You Grow in a Container?
Limited space doesn’t mean limited growing options! You won’t believe how easy it is to grow so many of your favorite veggies in pots. Our top contenders for a fully loaded container garden are tomatoes, sweet onions, potatoes, peppers, peas, beans, beets, kale, and lettuce, and there’s plenty more where that came from!
What is the Best Type of Soil for a Vegetable Garden?
The simplest answer is 50% compost and 50% topsoil. Make sure the soil is loose and well-draining, with lots of rich organic matter mixed in. This helps it to retain moisture while providing your veggies with vital nutrients and all that other good stuff they need to grow.
Got Any Good Advice for a New Urban Gardener?
Go easy on yourself and be patient! You’re bound to make a few flubs here and there, but that’s all part of the learning process. Sometimes mishaps can lead to major breakthroughs and aha moments! Don’t be afraid to get crafty when utilising small spaces—if grass can grow through the cracks in a sidewalk, then you can grow a small container garden. As Jeff Goldblum says, “Life, uh, finds a way!”
