Planting a Bag Garden for Quick Temporary Production

Posted by admin on May 18th, 2012 and filed under Planting | 25 Comments »

plantingSometimes you have a situation were you don’t have time to dig a bed. Sometimes the spring passes before you can’t get Planting. In our situation we have all that and more.

We didn’t get our moved accomplished until June, then I had to leave for two weeks to enjoy a promised vacaiton with the most supportive and understanding wife in the world. So I found myself in late June with nothing planted, the solution a bag garden.

Basically I took the absolute worst spot on my land soil wise and laid out some bags of top soil, built a trellis with some existing pines and planted some fast growing summer crops.

The goal is simply to provide us with some production while we spend the rest of the summer doing soil improvements for fall Gardening. The video below is the results after about 4-5 weeks of growth.

How to Plant a Vegetable Garden

Posted by admin on May 1st, 2012 and filed under Garden | 25 Comments »

You can contribute too! Create your own DIY guide at http://www.howcast.com/videos/new or produce your own Howcast spots with the Howcast Filmmakers Program at http://www.howcast.com/filmmakers/apply.

Grow some of your own food by starting a vegetable garden. You’ll eat better and save money.

To complete this How-To you will need:

A sunny garden spot
A wire mesh fence
Seeds or seedlings
Flowers
A soil test
A sunny garden spot
A wire mesh fence
Seeds or seedlings
Flowers
A soil test

Step 1: Decide on a garden type

Decide between a raised-bed garden or an in-ground one. Raised beds, which consist of purchased topsoil that sits within a wooden frame, are ideal if your soil is stony or sandy. The main advantage of an in-ground garden is that it needs less watering.

Tip: For an in-ground garden, test your soil to find out what nutrients it needs. Garden centers sell do-it-yourself kits, or you can arrange a test through the Cooperative Extension System, a national agricultural network. Find a nearby office on the USDA web site.

Step 2: Pick a good spot

Pick a spot that gets a lot of sun and isn’t obscured by tree or hedge shade.

Step 3: Prep the land

Prepare the land by building your raised bed or clearing and tilling a patch of land to a depth of about one foot. A 10 foot by 10 foot parcel is a good size for a beginner. For an in-ground garden, install a wire mesh fence three to four feet high to help keep out critters.

Tip: Leave the top foot of the fence unsecured so that if an animal attempts to climb it, it won’t support his weight and he won’t be able to get over it.

Step 4: Seeds versus seedlings

Decide if you want to plant seeds directly in the soil; start growing seeds in small containers, like egg cartons, and then transplant them into your garden when they take root. Or, buy seedlings from a nursery that are ready to go into the ground. If you start with seeds, you’ll wait longer to harvest your vegetables.

Tip: In colder climates, the shorter growing season makes some vegetables impossible to grow directly from seed.

Step 5: Plan your veggies

Plot out what you’d like to plant, taking into consideration what grows well in your area. Orient the rows east to west with the tallest plants on the north side so they won’t shade the shorter ones.

Step 6: Sow your seeds

Start your seeds following the instructions on the package. Plant your seedlings when it’s appropriate to do so, which depends on both the crop and your climate. Your local garden center or nearest Extension office can give you this information, or you can find it on the web.

Tip: Maximize output by planting a warm-season crop after harvesting a cool-season crop.

Step 7: Try companion Planting

Plant compatible Vegetables near each other. To find out which veggies grow better together and which are best kept far apart, type “companion planting” into a search engine.

Step 8: Put in some flowers

Plant a few flowers among your crops. They’ll attract bees, which will help pollinate your plants.
