What is the best way to grow food ?
To cultivate edible plants, no need to convert the garden into a garden.Integrate vegetables in an ornamental garden is very simple, especially vegetable crops with attractive foliage, such as lettuce or Swiss chard and flowering plants such as chives. You can also grow vegetables in containers or boxes, such as tomatoes, peppers, chiles, and even potatoes.
Once we start growing our own food, begin to give importance to the fact that they are in season (which in recent years has been lost because of the culture of the supermarket). Ripe and sweet strawberries we grow in our garden at the right time will have nothing to do with imported strawberries are cultivated in a greenhouse forcibly and know a little more than water.
Location and soil The best location for growing vegetables is an open, sunny and well ventilated, but protected from strong winds, and that can limit plant growth (and even dry or burn). A slightly tilted toward the sun warms up before a totally flat and enhances establishment of newly planted crops.
Soil preparation is important, but for growing vegetables is even more important as the quality and fertility are closely related to the growth rate, size and taste. In the case of edible plants is essential to the soil each year to pay organic matter or manure mixed with earth, the richer the soil, the plants will be tastier.
* Floor rich: in soils with good topsoil, one resorts to the technique of single or double dug, and incorporate large amounts of rotted manure, leaf mulch or compost for growing mushrooms.
* Poor soil, if soil quality is low, it is worth considering the construction of high stools and cover the base with manure or compost to fill them later with earth.
Before you start
If we are determined to produce our own food, there are several tips you should not forget.
* Propagated only what they want to eat: it may sound obvious, but sometimes it is easy to fall into the temptation to grow those plants that we believe should be planted in place of those who enjoy eating.
* We will start with a few plants: it is best to start with a small foray into food crops, and from there we can go to expand the plantation. If we consider the commitment required the cultivation of these plants, which should be an exciting adventure could become tedious.
