There is nothing better than homegrown vegetables. The taste and texture of vegetables you grow yourself is much better than anything you can get in a store. And that’s not just because of the love you put into it!
This year during the growing season, use these simple vegetable garden tips & tricks to get the maximum flavor out of your vegetables
Grow high-yield vegetables
Increase your time and space efficiency by growing high-yielding vegetables. Tomatoes, onions and lettuce are vegetables that top the high-yield list. They produce crops of the highest quality while using the least amount of time and space.
Use high quality garden soil
The better the soil, the better your crops will taste when harvested, since plants get their nutrients from the soil. Adding organic matter to the soil is one of the best ways to make it better. For example, use this organic garden soil compost from Bio Kultura.
Use quality seeds
Using high quality seeds is important to get a good harvest. We have only the best quality seeds in our seed market so you can be sure of a high yield and therefore a great harvest.
Sow on time
Different types of vegetables have different times to grow and ripen. For example, a pepper plant will give ripe peppers faster than a cabbage. For example, use our growing guides to find out what to sow when to enjoy a good harvest from your vegetable garden.
Know how much water your plants need
A set schedule for watering vegetables is beneficial. You won’t get vegetables at all if you don’t use enough water. If you use too much, the fruit rots and the roots drown. Use irrigation to evenly moisten plant roots and ensure regular irrigation. We offer different irrigation systems so you can choose what best suits you and your vegetable garden!
Give your plants plenty of sun
In a location with less than half a day of sunlight, very few crops can be grown. You may need to move your vegetable garden to another location in the garden if it gets more shade than sun. Watch different parts of your garden throughout the day to see which location gets the most sun before you start seeding. Your vegetables will pay for themselves if you take the time to build a vegetable garden the right way.
Combination cultivation
Did you know that the perfect mix of specific plants can increase the yield of your vegetables? Combined planting can help with pest control, growth and even flavor enhancement. Test it out for yourself! This year, plant basil under your tomatoes or rosemary with your beans. Thus, there are many other combinations worth delving into.
Pest control
Pests rob vegetable production of nutrients and weaken plants. But consider these other options before reaching for insecticides at the first indication of a chewed leaf in your garden. Usually, using natural solutions will help you fight pests and boost your production. Without using the dangerous chemicals present in so many pesticides, floating row covers, hand picking and slug traps are all efficient natural solutions to prevent damage to your vegetable garden.
Get your vegetable garden ready for winter
While it is tempting to take the season off, believe it or not, winter offers a perfect time to improve your vegetable garden. Take advantage of occasional warmer winter days to reduce weeds, improve the condition of your soil and prepare for spring. If you spend some time now, you will grow and increase your harvest as quickly as possible!
