Gardening

Gardening is the most popular leisure activity in the United States. To have a garden that stands out, location is important. A sunny well drained location is essential with a rich, light loam and good texture is the best. Plant your tall and trellised plants on the north side so they won’t shade shorter plants. Food crops may also be planted in parking strips, corner lots, along fences, and surrounding patios. As little as 100 square feet (10′ x 10′ or 20′ x 5′) can be used to grow a substantial crop.

Soil Modification

Soil modification should be made by mixing 2 to 3 inches of organic matter to a depth of 6 inches to benefit most soils. This will help loosen heavy clay soils, add nutrients, and improve the water holding capacity of sandy soil. Use abundant, composted, inexpensive materials such as leaves, sawdust, wood shavings, or old hay. Be aware that some materials may contain weed seed. To avoid nitrogen deficient pale plants, add 1 pound (1 pint) of ammonium sulfate for each 1 inch of material per 100 square feet. If enough compost material or manure is available, reduce the ammonium sulfate rate by half. Peat moss, perlite, or vermiculite can provide the loosening effects but are more expensive and have not nutritional content. If using vermiculite, have the pH tested as pH can vary from slightly acidic to moderately basic. To maintain improved tilt and structure, add organic material each year.

Soil Moisture

When planting, the frequency of watering depends on the texture of your soil. In arid areas, watering the garden is more necessary. Clay soils require less frequent watering than sandy soils. Gardens in sandy soil would require shallower but more frequent applications of water. When seeds are first planted, it is important that the soil remains moist so that the seeds will germinate as soon as possible. Some seeds, like corn, tomatoes, peppers, squash, and cucumbers, > NEED WARM SOIL before germination can take place. You should wait until the soil warms before planting, usually two weeks after the average date of the last frost in your area. You might consider preparing your seeds in small containers for future transplant. After the seed has germinated and the plant’s root system are established, the frequency and depth of watering will increase as the weather gets warmer. Since sandy soils do not store much water, it is suggested that you add organic matter to increase water holding capacity and water more often. Several vegetables including onions, spinach, peas, cabbage, radishes, and Swiss chard > MAY BE PLANTED VERY EARLY IN THE SPRING . Many early, cool season crops may be planted again in July 1015 to extend the garden season until well after the first frost.
