Groceries are one of the main parts of the home's financial planning. This includes fruit and vegetables, which are not cheap. But no-one can live without them, so people sometimes try to cultivate their own, so as to reduce their cost. This might seem to be extremely complicated, but it isn't, and you can easily establish your own cheap food plot planter exercise at home.
The factors that are important are the security of your garden, the size of the planting area and the nature of the soil. Rocky or polluted soil should be prepared before planting. You remove the stones and solid rubbish with your hands or by panning, using the same equipment that gold panners use. This might be an improvised wire mesh bowl that is loaded with soil and then shaken empty, leaving only the stones and pebbles, or other waste.
In terms of space, you need to match the species of plant to the size of the garden. Creeping plants like melons or pumpkins need a lot of space because they grow along the ground. Then there are buried crops like potatoes and yams. These need space underground to produce their crops, which are formed in the soil and are harvested by digging them out.
Soil has to be prepared for planting before you start. If the soil is not rich in nutrients or it is dry and dusty, it is not yet suitable. You either need to buy fertilizer or use compost. There are several fertilizers on the market, and if you don't know which one to use you should find out rather than experiment.
If the soil is poor, i. E. It is sandy and dry or has no nutrients in it, you need to prepare it by using fertilizer or compost. Fertilizer is commercially available and can be purchased. Make sure that you use the right fertilizer. If you are not sure about this, ask the sales assistant. Compost can be made by discarding any household vegetable waste into the soil.
Compost can be made in DIY fashion by excavating a space and then depositing all your household vegetable waste matter into it. When it has been filled, dig the rotting vegetable matter into the soil and bury it. This takes more time than buying the compost but it is free and the resultant product is entirely suitable.
Poor soil does not produce satisfactory crops. The plants either do not progress beyond the stage of seedlings, or where they do their crops are not impressive. The plants themselves do not mature properly and they are smaller or deformed.
Fresh produce in stores is usually nice to look at, of a large size and healthy in appearance. But then commercial farmers use tactics that you cannot, such as industrial-scale irrigation, GM seed and agricultural pesticides and fungicides. You should not compare your own efforts to such produce. On the contrary, your own garden might surprise you with the size of its crops, or how beautiful they are, or simply how easy it is to grow them.
