Raised garden beds or garden planters are ideal for small vegetable gardens or flower gardens. Problems with weeds and soil compaction are kept at bay with this type of technique. Moreover, there is good soil drainage and the pests like slugs and snails are prevented from getting into your garden. You can buy ready made planters or make them yourself quite easily.

 

As a gardener, if your interest is to set up a raised bed vegetable garden then you are certainly on the right page. You will find all the information about the benefits and set up of a raised bed garden right here.

 

Raised bed vegetable gardens enjoy the following benefits and it does not matter if your garden bed is raised just a few inches or a couple of feet.

 

Access to your garden becomes a whole lot easier when you use the raised bed technique. Gardening requires long hours of hard work on bended knees and one way to avoid the strain is to use raised beds. Senior people can really enjoy their gardening activities and the luxury of not having to bend for ages to do their gardening.

You can choose the best quality of soil available for your garden and mix in the right amount of fertilizers to provide your plants with healthy nutrient rich soil. You can add the compost and other organic matter to enrich it before filling the planters. Further, there is no soil compaction which means a fluffier, non compacted, healthy soil for your plants. Soil drainage is also very good with raised beds.

Raised bed gardens make for better visibility – you will find it a lot easier to spot that pest! With enhanced visibility, taking good care of your garden becomes a lot easier.

Raised beds are a good way to prevent weeds from attacking as there is limited space for them to spread out. Weed control is a breeze when you use raised garden beds.

 

The planning of a raised bed vegetable garden is certainly not very different from planning a regular vegetable garden that you would have planted directly into the soil in your garden. First identify the location of your garden, plants will need at least 5 hours of direct sunlight and make sure there is good soil drainage in the location you choose.

 

Try to keep your garden as far as possible from the trees because roots can do damage to your garden and also shade your plants, preventing them from getting direct sunlight. Raised garden beds are usually about a foot higher than the surrounding soil level or you can use planters that will take them as high off the ground as you want them. Planter stands are available in the garden nursery stores. What you need to ensure when using planters is that the soil is at least 2 feet deep for your garden to take root properly.

 

Mark out the garden boundary using spray paint or rope. Then measure the space to know what size planters to buy. Buy your compost, soil, fertilizer and seeds in one lot for your garden – will save you going back and forth. Calculate the amount of soil per bag to the square footage of your garden. Garden store assistants are only too glad to help you with your purchases.

Raise Herbs Or Raise Bountiful Herbs

The world of herbs that are, or have been used by man for his benefit is one which encompasses literally thousands of members of the plant world. Yet most gardeners do not venture beyond a handful of foundational herbs, mainly used for cooking in their gardening efforts. This is unfortunate because the world of herbs in its entirety can be a broad and enjoyable pass time. For those seeking to stay within the confines of culinary herbs, the spectrum of unique tastes and qualities can be endless.

Growing Vegetable Indoors – The Super Low-Maintenance Technique

Edit Article |

Posted: Oct 04, 2010 |



You know, I love growing vegetable indoors. And since I discovered this super low-maintenance technique, I love it even more!

So, what exactly is this “super low-maintenance” technique?

It’s an ecologically-based gardening process designed in such a way that it actually mimics natural habitat. If you set it up properly, you will be able to grow and harvest fresh organic vegetables on a daily basis.

Frankly, I only started using this gardening technique almost a year ago. And so far the results have exceeded my expectations – so much that I plan on growing vegetable indoors by utilizing this technique exclusively from now on.

Note: Additional resources regarding this subject can be found via this link.

It’s very low-maintenance as you don’t need to use chemicals and you don’t have to spend a lot of time tending your indoor vegetable garden.

The ecological gardening technique makes use of special compost application in order to induce positive effect on your soil structure and fertility.  

So even with very little maintenance, you will still be able to grow fresh organic vegetables – even much more than conventional vegetable garden!

Trust me, growing vegetable indoors using this technique is very simple. You could even set it up in a small area and still achieve desirable results, without having to spend a lot of time on it.

Here’s a simple method on how to set up an organic vegetable garden indoors.

(1) Get a bunch of containers with proper drainage holes. I suggest you try obtaining some old polystyrene boxes and use them as containers for your vegetable plants.

(2) Fill the boxes with some decent potting mixture and line them up closely. Basically, you arrange them side by side and fit in as many containers as possible within your desired area.

(3) As for the composting arrangement. Well if you plan on having a very small indoor vegetable garden, then it’s not necessary to establish a large composting system.

Instead, you can opt to buy a worm farm. And then simply apply some worm juice and worm casts on your indoor organic garden’s soil.

Once the containers are arranged in this fashion, you can then utilize the ecological gardening method to the fullest.

Ecological gardening – there’s no better way of growing vegetable indoors! It’s so simple to set up and so easy to maintain.

In fact, video tutorials with step-by-step project plan guide are also available online which makes things even much easier.

If you want to set it up quickly, just watch the videos and refer the project plan guide by following this link: http://www.growingorganicfood.info

The video series and project guide will show you exactly how to set up an ecological organic vegetable garden or even convert your existing conventional vegetable garden.

Organic Vegetable Gardening: Early Summer Checklist

Edit Article |

Posted: Nov 04, 2010 |Comments: 0

As summer approaches it is wonderful to be able to relax and enjoy the garden, but there is also a lot to be done in the organic vegetable garden at this time of year.

Weeding

Late spring and early summer is the peak growing time for most plants, including weeds. Being natural wild plants they will grow strong healthy roots very quickly. Don’t let them get the upper hand or they will steal the precious water and nutrients that your growing vegetables need. Hoe twice a week for optimum weed control.

If you get to know your weeds, you may find that you can add some of them to your salad bowl instead of throwing them straight into the compost. For a few dollars you can buy a book of edible wild plants native to your state or country that will help you identify them. Perhaps you will even decide to let some of your tastiest weeds live and seed.

Sowing And Planting Out

Depending on your climate you may still be sowing carrots, cabbage and broccoli for later harvests. Plant out any remaining zucchini, pumpkins, squash and beans.

Plants that have been grown from seed indoors need to be hardened to the change of air and temperature before being planted outside, even if the weather is warm. Leave them outside in a sheltered spot, not in full sun, for a few days, bringing them in at night or any time that the temperature drops.

Thinning And Harvesting

Many plants will require thinning now to get the best crop. A lot of these are technically fruit but as we eat these non-sweet fruit in salads, they are usually considered part of the vegetable garden.

With tomatoes, pinch off the side shoots to encourage the plant to put more energy into its fruit. If your shoots are about 5 inches long or more, they can be established as separate plants. They will take about 10 days to root and of course will produce a later crop than the main plant. Remove their first flowers to have them grow big enough to provide good fruit.

If you are growing cucumbers, harvest them regularly to encourage more to be produced. Pick lettuce before it becomes too old and replace your first lettuces with new sown seeds.

Pest Control And Wildlife

This is a great time to encourage natural predators to settle in your garden and control your pests.

If you have problems with aphids, purchase a ladybug nest and feeder.
The beetles that feed on slugs flourish on undug, well mulched ground that gives them plenty of protective cover. So control weeds with mulch instead of the hoe if you have a slug problem.
Encourage bees and wasps by growing flowers with large, colorful open blooms or smaller, bell-shaped flowers alongside your vegetables. Wasps also love to have a pile of undisturbed dead wood for nest building. By providing this for them in a place that you choose, you can prevent them from nesting around the house, tool stores, children’s play areas and other areas of your organic vegetable garden.

Vegetable Gardening For Beginners – 6 Easy Tips To Start You Off

Healthy vegetable gardens do more than provide a beautiful area in your yard. They repay your labor with nutritious food and a healthy varied diet. Vegetable gardeners are in tune with the environment, giving back to the soil what they take from it. Abundant vegetable gardens start with healthy, rich soil. Compost and mulch contribute to that natural wealth.

About 11,000 years ago, the first farmers began to select and cultivate desired food plants in the southwest Asian Fertile Crescent – between the ancient Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. Although we believe there was some use of wild cereals before that time, the earliest crops were barley, bitter vetch, chick peas, flax, lentils, peas, emmer, and wheat. About 9,000 years ago, Egyptians began to grow wheat and barley. About the same time, farmers in the Far East began to grow rice, soy, mung, azuki, and taro.

Then, about 7,000 years ago, ancient Sumarians established the first organized agricultural practices that made large-scale farming possible. Of particular note, they established irrigation as a way to nurture crops where none were possible before. Vegetable gardeners today use many of the same techniques established in early history. But today’s vegetable gardeners have millennia of experience behind them. Trial and error today is success or failure at the margins. Failure is not disaster.

As in centuries passed, a successful vegetable gardener cultivates the garden before planting for three main reasons: to eliminate weeds, to distribute air and nutrients throughout the soil, and to conserve moisture. Preparation of the soil is the single most important step in assuring abundant harvests.

Weeds are the most powerful enemy of a healthy vegetable garden. Letting them multiply in your vegetable garden will create much work and disappointment through the growing season. And when your vegetables begin to grow, removing weeds can your new vegetable plants beyond repair. Weeds also steal the precious nutrients necessary to produce healthy vegetables.

Rather than sacrificing the new garden to a patch of weeds, the successful vegetable gardener will cultivate the bed often, breaking up the soil to maintain healthy air, moisture, and heat to facilitate desirable chemical processes that produce abundant plant food. Ancient growers learned by trial and error the importance of keeping the soil loose around young plants. Early farmers deposited rotten fish beneath their crops as fertilizer and then used tools of shell and stone to nurture healthy soil and get plentiful air to the roots of their crops.

As important as air is water, even when the vegetable garden is a promise waiting for new seeds. Consider the process of “capillary attraction” – the ability of a substance to pull another substance into it. When you dip one end of a strip of blotting paper into water, you’ll see that the moisture moves up the invisible channels formed by the paper’s texture. But when you place the side edge of the blotting paper into water, the moisture won’t move upward. In a vegetable garden, capillary attraction describes the attraction of water molecules to soil particles. Well cultivated, loose soil maximizes capillary action, maintaining an even distribution of moisture throughout your vegetable garden soil.

Even so, water stored in soil during rain immediately begins to escape, evaporating into the air. Surface water is the first to vaporize into the atmosphere. With capillary action, sub-surface water moves upward and evaporates. Left to natural processes, your garden will lose its moisture as quickly as if you left sponges in the topsoil. Cultivating your vegetable garden by hoeing the soil around your plants disturbs natural capillary action and slows the loss of water for your vegetables.

It’s important to hoe your vegetable garden often, particularly those areas not shaded, at the very least every other week. If this seems too difficult, using a wheel hoe will reduce your labor and keep your vegetable garden healthy and productive. Looking somewhat like an old-fashioned plow, the wheel hoe allows you to cultivate very close to your healthy plants, maintaining an even depth and destroying new weeds before they get established. With the wheel hoe, you can cultivate as fast as you can walk.

If you wait until weeds are established, you’ll have to pull the weeds by hand, damaging the root systems of your vegetables, depleting the soil of nutrients, and creating a much greater workload for you as gardener. And the work you invest will not be to cultivate a productive crop. It will be to prevent damage that may have already been done. A wheel hoe is essential for a large vegetable garden, but it will also save much time and effort in a small one. However, a simple scuffle hoe is effective in small spaces as well. It takes less storage space and cultivates the soil effectively.

Preparing your vegetable garden properly before you plant vegetables is well worth the investment in time and labor. Keeping your vegetable garden rows free of weeds later on is slow going and difficult. Here are a few tips for keeping your vegetable garden clean and clear of weeds as your plants mature:

1. Work at the weeds while the ground is soft and/or moist. Soon after a rain is the best time. Weeds will come out by the root easier without breaking off, leaving the unwanted plant to grow again.

2. Just before you weed your vegetable garden, cultivate the rows with your wheel or scuffle hoe very shallow in the topsoil and as close to your vegetable plants as possible. This will loosen the soil and make weeds easy to see. A double-wheel hoe with discs is best for this purpose, especially for large plants.

3. Make sure all of the soil is loosened when you cultivate. Pull all the weeds out carefully, avoiding disturbing the vegetable plants. Your weeder will destroy weed seedlings, but you’ll have to hand-weed near plant bases and where weeds have matured.

4. Use a small hand-weeder near your vegetable plants. It will loosen the soil, making weeds easier to eliminate, and save a lot of wear and tear on your hands and fingers.

5. Practice with your wheel hoe. At first, watch the wheel’s direction and the pressure you put on the handles. The discs or rakes will follow automatically, maintaining an appropriate cultivation depth in your vegetable garden rows.

6. “Hilling” was once a common way to nurture young vegetable plants. This is done by building the soil up around the stems of young vegetable plants, usually the after you’ve hoed your garden two or three times. In wet soils or dry climates, hilling may still be the way to go. But in most areas, level soil is best. It makes it easier to cultivate the soil in the long run, thereby assuring healthy vegetable plants through the growing season.

Rotating Vegetable Crops

Crop rotation, or growing different vegetable crops each time you plant, is an important part of maintaining a healthy, productive vegetable garden. Some Roman texts mention crop rotation, and early Asian and African farmers also found rotation a productive method. During the Muslim Golden Age of Agriculture, engineers and farmers introduced today’s modern crop rotation methods where they alternated winter and summer crops and left fields fallow during some growing seasons. With Chemical Revolution of the mid-20th Century, crop rotation lost some of its appeal. But for home vegetable gardeners, rotation eliminates the risks of using dangerous chemicals and prevents the environmental consequences associated with modern pollutants.

Each different vegetable plant depletes the soil of different nutrients, and each leaves different nutrients as its roots and stems decay. Rotating crops with each planting keeps the soil balanced and rich. Planting the same crop time after time drains it of necessary nutrients, leaving it less productive. Crop rotation also reduces the build-up of pathogens and pests that destroy healthy vegetable gardens. Rotation helps maintain a healthy mix of essential nitrogen in your vegetable garden.

Rotating crops is more important with vegetables like cabbage, but it is a good practice for your vegetable garden generally. Even the hardy onion benefits from rotation, especially if you’ve done a good job of breaking up the old garden soil and mixing the remaining vegetable plants to serve as compost for the following crop. Here are some basic tips about crop rotation:

1. Do not rotate crops of the same vegetable family, for example turnips and cabbage. Be sure the following crop is a complete different type of vegetable.

2. Deep-rooting crops like carrots or parsnips, should follow vegetables with roots near the surface like onions or lettuce.

3. Follow root crops with vines or leaf crops.

4. Rotate vegetable plants that have long growing seasons with quick-growing crops.

5. Decide on your vegetable garden rotation when you’re constructing your planting plan. Making these decisions in the middle of the growing season will be more difficult and waste time and money.

A Selection Of The Very Best Vegetable Gardening Tips

Edit Article |

Posted: Oct 06, 2010 |Comments: 0
|



possibly the very best tip for growing vegetables is the one for selecting a location for the veggie patch, ideally it will have 6-8 hours of sunlight per day, be out of the wind and the soil must have good drainage. Your location could make it impossible to have the ideal spot, but outside of creating more sunlight you can always produce a windbreak or engineer the garden for better drainage, taking some time to think about as well as plan your garden lays the foundation for success and a bumper harvest each year.

Quality of soil is very important, if it’s sandy add some humus and compost to increase the standard, add gypsum to clay based soil for a similar effect, if you have to you can purchase some good topsoil to add to your own. You can always try your neigbors, if they have good soil they may spare you a few wheelbarrow loads for you.

Seeds would be the foundation of your backyard, always use best quality seed products and try to use heirloom seed products if you can as well as after each planting conserve some seeds for the coming year. keep the old seed packets and put your own harvested seeds in them, you’ll always then have planting instructions handy. Use old toilet rolls or egg cell cartons to raise your seeds (the toilet rolls provide a good wind break and prevent nasty bugs getting to your own seedlings when they are the most vulnerable), as the vegetation grow they will break down into the soil, you may also buy commercial seed raising pots if you wish.

When planting, put the short plants closest to the sunshine and the tallest at the back of your garden so the shortest plants don’t eventually have their sun obscured by the tall plants. You may also plant short growing cycle vegetation like lettuce in the rows between slower growing plants to maximize the space in your garden and get the most out of it.

Plant flowers such as daisies and marigolds in with your vegetables to assist with natural insect control, they also look excellent too! Have ample mulch on the garden to keep the moisture in and it can also keep some weeds at bay. Pull the weeds in your garden by hand or even with a hoe, if you put them in a covered bucket of water for a 7 days, strain and add an equal part of fresh water you have a excellent organic fertilizer for your garden. You can also make use of boiling water or vinegar in a spray bottle, but remember, vinegar will also destroy your vegetable plants therefore use cautiously.

Try out companion sowing to not just keep pests away but to also maximize growth of plants, care really needs to be used when companion planting since a number of plants do not like to grow close to each other. Herbal plants additionally make great companion plants and function perfectly together with the veggies if planted correctly. Finding truly good vegetable gardening ideas will make growing vegetables a whole lot less complicated and a a lot more successful.

Indoor Vegetable Gardening – Enjoy Delicious Produce All Year Long!

Edit Article |

Posted: Oct 02, 2010 |Comments: 0
|



Everyone loves fresh vegetables, and nothing beats vegetables that are fresh from the garden! However, not everyone has the space or the seasonal warmth to grow an outdoor vegetable garden. So why not start a garden inside! While you won’t be able to grow vegetables that take up a lot of room – like corn, pumpkins, and melons, you can grow delicious herbs, tomatoes, peppers and other great produce.

So, how do you begin your indoor garden? First of all, you need to analyze the light in your home. Is there a place with a sunny window that you can put a table with your garden on it? Does this window get good light throughout the day? Unfortunately, many homes lack sufficient light to really grow a good vegetable garden. Although house plants thrive, vegetables have a higher light requirement and benefit from strong, direct light.

But never fear there are options! Since indoor gardening is becoming so popular, many manufacturers are making special grow lights for the indoor gardener. You can find these lights in the gardening or lighting section of your local home improvement store. It is possible to find entire indoor greenhouse set ups as well. As you can see, the indoor gardener has quite a few options available!

Now when it comes to choosing the plants you want to grow, you need to consider how big the plant will become when it is full grown. Perhaps visit a nursery or a test garden to see the mature plant. Tomatoes, peppers, and strawberries are all good choices for indoor produce. Tomato plants get very tall, so you will want to add a stake or trellis so it won’t tip over. However, you can trim your plant back and it will continue to grow. In fact, trimming the tomato plant will encourage it to grow wider and bushier, not as leggy and tall. If you plant strawberries, put them in a shallow, wide bowl type planter. They like to spread out and send shoots of new plants. Soon you will have a bowl full of beautiful greenery with tiny white flowers and glistening red fruit!

Herbs are always a wonderful choice for an indoor garden. It is so nice to be able to use fresh cilantro or parsley in your recipes! Unlike vegetables, most herbs can handle less light so a sunny window is perfect. Be warned that they do like well drained soil and take care not to over water your herbs to prevent fungal growth. Some great indoor herbs are, parsley, rosemary, mint and thyme. Some herbs will even help to prevent pests in your other plants. Consider planting a few cloves of garlic among your tomato plants to keep red spider mites away.

As you can see, indoor gardening can be a very rewarding project. Not only will you produce fresh vegetables and herbs for your dinner table, you will enjoy the process and bring a bit of the great outdoors inside!

Indoor Vegetable Gardening – Enjoy Delicious Produce All Year Long!

Edit Article |

Everyone loves fresh vegetables, and nothing beats vegetables that are fresh from the garden! However, not everyone has the space or the seasonal warmth to grow an outdoor vegetable garden. So why not start a garden inside! While you won’t be able to grow vegetables that take up a lot of room – like corn, pumpkins, and melons, you can grow delicious herbs, tomatoes, peppers and other great produce.

So, how do you begin your indoor garden? First of all, you need to analyze the light in your home. Is there a place with a sunny window that you can put a table with your garden on it? Does this window get good light throughout the day? Unfortunately, many homes lack sufficient light to really grow a good vegetable garden. Although house plants thrive, vegetables have a higher light requirement and benefit from strong, direct light.

But never fear there are options! Since indoor gardening is becoming so popular, many manufacturers are making special grow lights for the indoor gardener. You can find these lights in the gardening or lighting section of your local home improvement store. It is possible to find entire indoor greenhouse set ups as well. As you can see, the indoor gardener has quite a few options available!

Now when it comes to choosing the plants you want to grow, you need to consider how big the plant will become when it is full grown. Perhaps visit a nursery or a test garden to see the mature plant. Tomatoes, peppers, and strawberries are all good choices for indoor produce. Tomato plants get very tall, so you will want to add a stake or trellis so it won’t tip over. However, you can trim your plant back and it will continue to grow. In fact, trimming the tomato plant will encourage it to grow wider and bushier, not as leggy and tall. If you plant strawberries, put them in a shallow, wide bowl type planter. They like to spread out and send shoots of new plants. Soon you will have a bowl full of beautiful greenery with tiny white flowers and glistening red fruit!

Herbs are always a wonderful choice for an indoor garden. It is so nice to be able to use fresh cilantro or parsley in your recipes! Unlike vegetables, most herbs can handle less light so a sunny window is perfect. Be warned that they do like well drained soil and take care not to over water your herbs to prevent fungal growth. Some great indoor herbs are, parsley, rosemary, mint and thyme. Some herbs will even help to prevent pests in your other plants. Consider planting a few cloves of garlic among your tomato plants to keep red spider mites away.

As you can see, indoor gardening can be a very rewarding project. Not only will you produce fresh vegetables and herbs for your dinner table, you will enjoy the process and bring a bit of the great outdoors inside!

Each and every gardener has his own set of characteristics that make it suitable for specified gardening variations. If people know yourself plus the suitable gardening model that fits your farming your organic garden and assist people successfully develop their vegetables, then you could have far more or less got an edge over other gardening enthusiasts. Nevertheless what are the distinct kinds of gardening that may be observed? Here are some from the guys anyone can consider:

Residential Landscaping

It is the most common of all gardening methods. If anyone are a beginner without yet inclined to create veggies for industrial factors, then residential gardening is usually to you. The main purpose of residential gardening would be to sustain a family or two of a steady supply of greens and at the exact same time, make the aesthetic appeal of your backyard.

Residential gardening does not call for as well significantly space. It also could be grown in window frames, balconies and some other small places that have sufficient light source, simple to control and on the same time, quick to preserve and free of pests. The very good factor about residential gardening is the ease with which opens the gardening wannabe from having no understanding of planting to expanding to some other models of gardening, which considers the budding gardener’s fantasy.

Specialized Gardening

Specialized gardening involves non-residential locations which have been recognized for their good quality and green are usually marketed since such. Parks, botanical gardens, amusement parts and other tourist attractions are a part of this category. Typically staff are necessary to sustain because of its size, correctly its administrative capacity from the top of gardening expertise may possibly be needed. It is usually adapted for that delivery of rewards to selected causes or organizations.

Effect gardening

If you are ready for that challenge of blocking weeds with minimal charges, then effect gardening is for you. It entails making use of a comparatively tiny room and maximizing its gardening possible. The plants are often crowded.

Indoor Gardening

residential gardening is large inside the field of indoor gardening. Other varieties in this category contain the gardens of conservatories, greenhouses and academic institutions. Heating and air conditioning can also be found for certain breeds of plants. If people are the kind of gardener who actually loves cultivating plants in and out of season, then indoor gardening is for people.

Drinking water Gardening

If anyone want to garden with minimal supervision and love water organisms, then drinking water gardening is for a person. This is a bit of the challenge for most gardeners because it truly is typically not the initial conditions of some other classic farming tactics. The novelty of water gardening resources only to those who have ample drinking water facilities to cultivate this kind of design of gardening.

Community Gardening

If anyone are motivated with the efforts in the group, a neighborhood gardening may be for you. These concentrated efforts on the diverse members with the neighborhood to support create a greener location. This really is a substantial scope, therefore members from the community are given autonomy to design their places in any way they decide on.

Designing your Vegetable Garden – an Introduction to the Classic Designs

Edit Article |

Posted: Aug 12, 2010 |Comments: 0
|



There are a number of different designs you can use when planning your organic vege garden – and choosing an appropriate design style for your home and personality will ensure your vege garden is an attractive feature within the garden as a whole, rather than a functional sideline.
 
It’s also important to consider the plants you want to grow. There is little point growing a pile of vegetables you won’t eat (although providing a local homeless shelter or food bank with homegrown vegetables is a wonderful way to use up surplus produce – a fantastic project if you have kids, too, as you can get them involved in gardening and charitable giving all at the same time.) You may also want to consider vegetables that you love, but can be expensive to buy. Salad greens often fall into the category with greens such as baby spinach ridiculously expensive in the shops, but so easy to grow at home.

Add in any considerations around companion planting and you will have a guideline to laying out your vege garden.

While there are an infinite number of garden designs to choose from, a few of the more classic vegetable garden designs are outlined below. You can choose the design that best suits your needs and personality, and then adapt it as you choose.

Potager:
The word ‘potager’ is now widely used in English to describe a formal vegetable garden which combines flowers, herbs and vegetables in an attractive pattern, with a clear structure. Fruit trees, often espaliered, are also used in potagers, together with topiary trees such as bay. Box hedging can be used to edge and define the beds, and can often be used to split the beds into geometric patterns. Pathways are made from traditional elements such as old brick, lime chip or shell, and create an attractive walk between the beds. with attractive pathways made from brick, shell or lime chip in between. You can include arches covered in roses or vine fruit, or highly structural plants such as artichokes. Potagers are ideal designs for organic gardening as the combination of vegetables, herbs and flowers allows for a huge range of companion planting options.

If you vegetable garden will be clearly seen rather than hidden away, a potager may be an ideal option for you. However before you begin, take some time to sketch out your design – to scale if possible. They key to a successful potager is in the geometric detail and this is not something that you can usually play by ear.

The Traditional Kitchen Garden:
The kitchen garden is usually walled – stone or brick being the traditional materials, however modern gardens can create the ‘walled’ effect using fences or hedging, to fit with the style of your home. The entry to the garden is usually through a gate or archway.
 
Kitchen gardens have a very organized layout. Both paths and plantings are run in straight lines, and pathways are usually made from gravel, or rammed earth covered in straw. Plantings tend to run north to south, to allow even access to sunlight.

Unlike potagers, kitchen gardens are primarily functional and don’t include ornamental elements such as flowers. Herbs, however, have a place and can be used as borders along your paths. Lavender, rosemary and bay all make attractive and fragrant hedges.

Vegetable Patchwork:
In a vegetable patchwork plants are planted in bold blocks of single plants. In this way you create high visual impact and can design your plantings according to height, color and texture to create an attractive, interesting tapestry.

There are usually wider, main pathways through the garden with smaller, narrower paths leading off into the beds to allow easier access to the planting blocks. Again, paths tend to be made from beaten earth or gravel. A patchwork garden is a easy way to manage your crop rotations – you simply move all your plantings over one block each year.

Cottage Gardens:
Cottage gardens are beautiful, care-free gardens which are characterized by a seeming lack of structure. Flowers are interwoven with vegetables and herbs to create an abundant, lush garden which can give joy to the senses. However as with all gardens a cottage garden needs some planning to work well.

Pathways are meandering and narrow, so there can be as much planting as possible. A casual garden chair can be placed in a small nook – you can even grow things over it – and it will look perfectly in place. Paths are covered in straw and you can leave you’re your garlic and shallots to dry in the sun, which will only add to the atmosphere. The overall feeling is of productivity, vibrancy and abundance. However, when gardening organically bear in mind that your plants need adequate airflow, which can be a problem in a cottage garden. Diseases and pests can also spread quickly due to the intensive planting. Therefore it’s worthwhile keeping a good eye on your garden for any telltale signs of disease or infestation.

City, or Container Gardening.
Finally, you can still enjoy the fruits of your labor even if you are not lucky enough to have your own plot of earth. There are a wide variety of plants and herbs which do very well in pots and containers – including small window boxes.

When deciding what to grow in your courtyard, balcony or patio, the type of tubs you use can be a key to your design. If you are simply keen to grow as much as possible then you can purchase organic gro bags from your local garden centre which will work well for a couple of plantings, and allow you to grow intensively. Otherwise choose your containers and pots in keeping with a theme – old English or Mediterranean, for example – and you can then grow plants which embrace this theme.
 
You can now buy a huge range of dwarf plants which are ideal for container gardening. Dwarf peas and beans are ideal, as are tomatoes, and they have been bred to crop heavily.

Remember, however, that your plants need plenty of sunshine – 6 hours a day is ideal – shelter from the wind and sufficient water. Your container plants will dry out far more quickly so will have higher water requirements than plants in a traditional plot.

By designing your garden in a style you find personally attractive you will enhance the aesthetic appeal of your garden and discover it is a place where you actually want to spend more of your time. And this, of course, is where you reap the benefits with wholesome, abundant crops you can enjoy with family and friends.

Vegetable Plants

Edit Article |

Lots of people assume that in order to grow your own vegetables you need a massive professional set up in order to have any real success. It is true that you need some essential tools to get started but this is not anything that is complicated or expensive to get started with so in actual fact anyone can grow vegetable plants.

What you will need to do is do some research to the type of vegetables that will flourish in the type of space that you have available. All vegetables need different set ups, so no matter what space or set up you have available you will be able to find something that suits.

Of course the type of vegetable plants that you look at will also depend on personal preference. For example there is very little point in growing carrots if you don’t like them. So have a look at the vegetables that you like so at least you can make good use of the vegetables that you grow.

Getting your hands on the equipment that you need in order to grow vegetable plants is easy. In fact there are even websites set up online that tell you everything you need to know about growing vegetables and supply the equipment in order to do it. They will post you out everything you need to get started as well as have information on their website on how to make sure your vegetables reach their full potential. That way you can be sure that the vegetable plants you buy do not go to waste. In fact many people save money by growing their own vegetables. Lots of people prefer to do this as they know that the vegetables they eat have not been subject to any treatments. Not only that but it is safe, reasonably cheap hobby that the whole family can take part in. You could all have your own individual plants and even compete for the best grow vegetable to help keep things even more exciting.

Why not have a look at the different vegetable plants that are available, there is tons of choice so finding something you like shouldn’t be hard.
