Vegetable Gardening - Location and Planning
For the best success, a vegetable
garden should be well planned out in advance. The
location of your vegetable garden is very important to the overall
success and amount of work you'll have to do to maintain your
garden.
It's best to choose a location for your vegetable
gardening near the house. This is generally the most
convenient spot for a variety of reasons, but you may have to
locate your garden further from the house is you don't have a good
location close to home. Vegetable gardening
close to your house where you can visit or view it frequently will
allow you to monitor plant pests and the general health of the
garden more easily. Choose a spot close to a water supply for
convenience, and to avoid having to use long lengths of hoses. You
can also include vegetables among your landscape or ornamental
plants throughout your yard. This can be helpful if many of the
best locations have already been taken by ornamental plantings.
You'll get the best of both worlds, attractive landscaping that is
functional.
Good vegetable gardening requires at least six hours of
full sun each day in order for your food crops to mature
properly. Good sunlight is very important, as no amount of
fertilizer, water, or care can replace needed sunshine. The soil of
your vegetable garden should be fertile and well
draining so that water never puddles after a rainstorm. While good
air movement around a garden is important, windy areas should be
avoided because winds can dry out or break plants.
Before planting, make a paper plan, including vegetables you
intend to plant, where, and when. Make a list of supplies, and then
order early. And don't forget your key growing supplies; SoilSyrup, AquaRocks, AquaSpikes, Algoflash and MegaGro.
Vegetable Gardening Tip #1 - Locate the garden
near the house for convenience on a site close to a source of water
with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight.
When planning your garden, consider what types of vegetables and
how much you want to plant. It's best to surround your garden with
some type of fence or enclosure. This will not only help to keep
out dogs, rabbits, and other animals, but he fence can serve as a
trellis for beans, peas, tomatoes, and other crops that need
support.
The direction of the rows isn't necessarily critical, but often
it is a good idea to have them running east-west, thereby allowing
you to plant your tallest crops on the north end of the plot, and
successively shorter crops in front. This prevents shading of the
shorter plants. If you must plant your garden on a hill, cut your
furrows on a contour with the land, so that the water won't run
quickly down the hill, taking with it the valuable topsoil, and the
nutrients needed for your plants.
The vegetables you choose for your vegetable
gardening will largely be determined by your own personal
preferences. If you want to grow larger quantities of a type of
vegetable, it is usually more cost effective to start your plants
from seeds indoors. SpeedSprout and
MegaGro are great products for getting a
jump on the growing season when starting seeds indoors. Some types
of plants resent transplanting and must be sown directly into the
garden where they are to be grown. In other instances it is best to
purchase bedding plant starts to extend the growing season long
enough to insure the maturity of the crop.
Try to select a variety of vegetables that will provide a
harvest throughout the growing season as well as a mixture of
annual and perennial crops. Include a mixture of vegetables which
produce early in spring, such as rhubarb, asparagus, radishes,
lettuce, and vegetables which can be stored after the fall harvest
like potatoes, parsnips, carrots, squash, and the like. Sweet corn,
beans, peas, and beets, especially those for early greens, cabbage,
cauliflower, and tomatoes, are great summer vegetables.
Perennial vegetables such as rhubarb and asparagus should be
planted off to the side where they won't interfere with future
plowing. Early producing crops (radishes, lettuce, spinach,
carrots, beets, onions, etc.) should be grouped together with extra
space for successive plantings. After they are finished for the
season, this will allow you to easily rework the area for later
season crops.
Vegetable Gardening Tip #2 - Plant a mixture of
annual and perennial vegetables, with a mix of early and later
season crops.
If the same garden plot is used for vegetable gardening for
many years, rotate your crops, so that each vegetable is in a
different position during the following season. Each few years,
give your garden a year off, and during that time concentrate on
rebuilding the soil to replace the nutrients that have been
depleted.
Vegetable Gardening - Preparing The Soil
Fertile, well-drained soil is necessary for successful
vegetable gardening. The exact type of soil is not so
important as that it be well drained, well supplied with organic
matter, reasonably free of stones, and moisture retentive. A good
loamy soil that is fertile, deep, easily crumbled, well drained,
and high in organic matter is needed to grow quality vegetables. If
properly prepared, however, soils containing light sand or heavy
clay can be used. The fastest way to make a heavy clay or light
sandy soil loamier is by adding organic matter in the form of
SoilSyrup. Fall applications of SoilSyrup can also help correct
soil acidity problems before spring planting.
Infertile soil that has good physical properties can be made
productive by infusing it with organic matter and fertilizer, like
SoilSyrup and Algoflash. The soil with also benefit from
AquaRocks, another soil improving
material. Soils should not be plowed or worked while it is very wet
unless the work will certainly be followed by severe freezing
weather. If the soil sticks together in a ball and does not readily
crumble under slight pressure by the thumb and finger, it is too
wet for plowing or working, because in this condition it will cake
as it dries, making it unsuitable for young plants.
If your garden has already been cultivated and used in past
years, there is little to do other than to plow in additional
organic material, and fertilizers. SoilSyrup and Algoflash are a great way to add humus and
nutrients to existing gardens. If you intend to bring a previously
unused patch of ground into cultivation, the work should commence
the preceding fall, before the ground becomes saturated with water.
An abundance or organic material in the form of SoilSyrup should be added to the soil, and
allowed to compost over the winter.
While most gardeners' plant on whatever soil type is available
in the garden plot, you may improve your soil by adding SoilSyrup to apply liberal amounts of organic
materials. Most soils benefit from applications of SoilSyrup. Thoroughly mix liberal amounts of
SoilSyrup in the soil well in advance
of planting, preferably at least a month before seeding. Spade or
plow the plot at least 3 weeks before planting. Then rework the
soil into a fine firm seedbed at planting time.
Vegetable Gardening Tip #3 - Add generous
amounts of organic matter to your garden. SoilSyrup is the easy way to apply extra
organic material.
Vegetable Gardening - Planting and Sowing Vegetables
Using your garden layout map that you created in the planning
stages, use stakes to mark out where different rows will be
planted. Build your trellises or set in stout stakes for climbing
plants such as peas and beans. Create mounds on which you will put
in the vining plants such as cucumbers, pumpkins and melons, and
don't forget to add AquaRocks to the
mounds to provide moisture for young plants. Make sure to establish
your pathways early so that you won't be walking across areas that
will be planted. You don't want to be compacting the soil that you
have worked so hard to fluff up.
You are now ready to sow your seeds, and to put in your
vegetable bedding plants. Planting depths and spacing are critical,
so don't crowd to many plants into the allotted space or you may
end up with spindly plants and no food. Be sure to place a tag or
marker on each row or area so that you will know what to expect
will sprout there and when! Water your garden thoroughly the day
before you intend to plant.
Stretch a string between the two stakes you set to mark the row,
or use a straight piece of lumber, and use it as a guide to open a
'V' shaped furrow with the corner of your hoe. Set the depth to the
recommended requirements on the seed packet. Tear the corner of the
seed package off and use your finger to tap the package lightly as
you move down the row, carefully distributing the seeds evenly.
Larger type seeds may be placed individually in the row. You will
want to plant extra seeds in each row to allow for failed
germination, and for thinning. Cover the seeds with fine soil (no
clods or rocks). Firm the soil over the seeds to insure good
moisture contact, and to help retain the moisture in the soil.
Water thoroughly using a gentle spray so that you don't disturb or
uncover the seeds. Seeds need moisture to germinate, so it is
important to keep the soil moist until the seedlings are up, that's
where AquaRocks can really help. When
the seedlings have emerged and developed their second or third set
of true leaves, thin them as needed so that you keep the strongest
plants, leaving the remaining ones spaced as directed on the seed
package. It is best to thin while the seedlings are still small, so
that you aren't disturbing the roots of the plants that will
remain.
If you purchased bedding plants, or started your seeds indoors
in pots, dig a small hole that is slightly wider and deeper than
the root ball of the new plant. It's a good idea to add AquaRocks to the hole to help the soil hold
moisture for the young plants. Water the plant thoroughly prior to
planting it out in the garden to lessen the shock of transplant.
Gently tap the pot to loosen the roots and remove the new plant. If
the root ball is tangled and compacted, use your fingertips to
gently loosen the outer roots. Set the plant into the hole slightly
deeper than it was growing in the pot, and firm the soil in around
it, making certain that there is good soil/root contact. Water
thoroughly with SoilSyrup after
planting to reduce any transplant shock.
Vegetable Gardening - Fertilizing
Unless your garden soil is incredibly rich and fertile,
fertilizer is usually needed for healthy vegetable
gardening. Most vegetable gardeners find
it convenient to use Algoflash, a
balanced fertilizer that provides key micro-nutrients. Fertilizers,
like Algoflash should generally be
applied before or at planting time. The easiest way to apply
fertilizer is to broadcast, using a hose-end sprayer.
To keep garden vegetables growing rapidly and
continuously, extra fertilizer should be applied to the soil in the
form of a side dressing. Side dressing can be applied on both sides
of the vegetable row about 4 to 6 inches from the plants using
Algoflash. For plants that are widely
spaced (such as cucumbers or cantaloupe), the side dressing
fertilizer can be placed in bands 6 inches from the plant's base.
Vegetable plants should be side dressed about midway through their
maturity cycle except when grown on sandy soils and during periods
of excessive rainfall. These conditions require more frequent side
dressing applications. Also, crops such as tomatoes, eggplant, and
okra require two or three side dressings per season because of
their long growth cycles.
Some recommended times for side-dressing vegetables are as
follows:
Asparagus -- Early Spring before growth starts.
Beans and Peas -- Just before blooming.
Broccoli, Cabbage, Cauliflower --About four weeks after
transplanting.
Eggplant, Peppers, Squash, Tomatoes -- At blooming and when fruit
set starts.
Cucumbers, Cantaloupe, Watermelons -- As vines start to
run.
For smaller gardens, AquaSpikes
can be a great way to side dress vegetables while preventing weed
growth. AquaSpikes offer built-in
weed control, because you're watering your plants roots directly,
it helps prevent weed growth beside your favorite plants! You'll
save lots of water as well, because you won't lose a drop to
evaporation or runoff! Which is great for vegetable
gardening!
Vegetable Gardening - Watering
Make sure you provide sufficient drainage of excessive rainfall
from your plot, while arranging for irrigation during dry periods.
A garden takes about 75 gallons of water per 100 square feet
(taking evaporating losses into account). Frequency of watering
depends upon your soil type; sandy soils need water 2 or 3 times a
week. You can conserve water by using AquaRocks, SoilSyrup or using AquaSpikes for direct root watering. If you
use a portable lawn sprinkler, be sure to keep the application rate
low enough that water does no run off the soil. Water applied too
fast will not soak into the soil. When watering, wet the soil to a
depth of 6 inches. As a general guide, the average house spigot
must be left running approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours to apply 1 inch
of water to 1,000 square feet. Or you can use AquaSpikes as an inexpensive watering system.
By cutting the tops off of 2-liter bottles, you can easily fill the
bottle with the hose. During dry periods, vegetable gardens need
extra watering. Most vegetables benefit from an inch or more water
each week, especially when they are fruiting.
Vegetable Gardening Tip #4 - Weeds rob your
vegetables of water, light and root space. So use AquaSpikes for direct root watering and to
prevent weeds.
