Organic Vegetable Gardening Tips for Green Thumbed Gardeners by Phil Lang
7 Organic Vegetable Gardening Tips For Hungry Gardeners
- 1. What Vegetables To Grow….Think about the vegetables you & your family enjoy eating. Balance that with whether these are expensive vegetables. For your efforts you may as well save as much money by growing your own. By example, red & orange peppers are much more expensive than green peppers. Buying lettuces in a mesculun salad is more expensive than iceberg lettuce. Other expensive vegetables include asparagus, arugula & redicchio. Try some of the heirloom tomatoes, such as the popular Brandywine variety, instead of a “red” tomato.
- 2. Raised Beds…..Instead of having to dig deep into your soil (about a foot for tomatoes), build or buy a raised bed & fill it with soil & compost (you can buy organic compost) This will save you a lot of work
- 3. Keep it Small…if you plant too many plants, you may find it too much work at first.
- 4. Plant Garlic Bulbs…to keep away the animal pests that might eat your plants.
- 6. fifty degree soil…make sure your soil is at least fifty degrees before planting.
- 7. Water about 2 times a week…water deep
5. Fence in your garden….if you can use a fence to keep out the pests.
