Producing your own food in your own garden at home is a year round project. With proper planning and utilization of the techniques for canning, freezing, and storing your home grown food, it is possible to eat healthful, organic food that you have produce all twelve months of the year. If your planning your first garden, the initial step is turning over the sod and preparing a seed bed. A small garden can be turned by hoe and with a spade. Simply dig into the sod and turn it over so that grass is buried into the earth. A more effective way of preparing the garden is with a roto tillers, a powerful operated machine that drains through the soil, mixing the soil with the earth and this is the easy and fast type of home farming since you will use a machine that speeds up the process.
A successful garden depends, first and foremost on the condition of the soil. Good soil is always rich in humus, which conserve moisture and makes the necessary mineral nutrients available to the plant. Good soil should be living soil and friable with lots of organic matter in various stages of decay mixed throughout. Soil differ depending on locale and past usage. In most areas, the local agricultural office will analyze your soil and tell you what it needs.
Planting a home garden on the level affords a more even distribution of water, while on raised beds the rain or hose water runs off from plants that may need it. Other situations that are high, warm and day are more adoptable to forcing early vegetables. In low, moist areas which crops as cabbage, late cucumbers and onions should be grown. The presence of a large number on insect pests, which feed on plant foliage and damage vegetables and fruits, is often a symptom of improperly balance soil. Good soil management is their best control. Soil that lacks humus and the essential plants minerals provides weak, unhealthy plants that attract insect and disease. So using an insecticide should be implemented. Through nearly all plants can be grown in the open many crops must be started indoors, or in hotbeds or cold frames, otherwise they cannot reach maturity in a single season. Enough plants of tomato, eggplants, melon, pepper, cabbage, broccoli, cauli flower, and lettuce can be started well before soil is ready.
Watering is also a vital part when it comes to a good home gardening, whether your sprinkle or use over hand irrigation or an open house, one thorough soaking a week is more effective than a light daily sprinkling. Shallow watering tends to keep root growth near the surface. Thoroughly wetting induces deep downward root growth and strider, thought resisting plants. In using open hose let water to avoid washing out soil.
