FAQ
What amount of sunlight does a plant require?
It depends upon the type of plant. Some plants require 12 hours of direct sunlight per day. Others prefer 8 to 10 hours of indirect sun. Vegetables require at least 10 hours of direct sunlight per 24-hour period.
What is the best way to determine what kind of soil I have?
The color of the soil can tell you how much organic matter it contains. Organic matter is more abundant in dark soils than those with lighter colors. Soil testing is another option. These tests are used to determine the quantity of nutrients in soil.
What is a planting plan?
A planting calendar is a list that lists plants that should be planted at specific times throughout the year. The goal is to maximize growth while minimizing stress for the plant. So, for example, spring crops such as lettuce, spinach, or peas should not be sown before the last frost date. Squash, cucumbers, and summer beans are some of the later spring crops. The fall crops include potatoes and carrots.
