Growing vegetables is one of the
most enjoyable and rewarding activities you can do in your garden. The thrill plant them, watch them grow and pick the product is the main
reason that people continue to try, even if pests and diseases are competing
with you. Prepare the soil is the key to success for growing vegetables. Every
time you plant a new crop, you need to incorporate compost, animal manure,
blood and bones, and potassium. Otherwise, your vegetables will be weak and prone
to disease.
Vegetable reward is huge, but they need a lot of
attention for best results. The idea with vegetables is to develop very quickly
and harvest, unlike other plants that take years to develop.
The pH of your soil is very important. Some vegetables as an alkaline pH, such as yams and other acidic pH such as spinach. But many plants grow in the pH range of 6-7. If the plant is healthy growth, then there is nothing wrong with your soil pH and there is no need to change it.

Crop rotation
The difficult part is to apply the above knowledge and placing crop rotation in practice.
Crop rotation moves each culture to the bed beside and not planting the same crop year after year in the same bed This helps to minimize the buildup of pests and diseases.
For example: If planting onions in a bed previously occupied by tomatoes, then you will need to add lime dose. After the onion, you can plant peas and beans also like alkaline soil. Peas and beans are legumes and fix nitrogen from the atmosphere into the soil, which becomes available for leafy vegetables, such as beets money, lettuce, broccoli or cauliflower that has a high requirement nitrogen. After that, you can plant a crop roots like carrots, which do not require much manure or nitrogen.
To reinvigorate a garden bed, you can fallow it (put) and plant a green manure clover, legumes (peas, beans), etc., and when they are 50 cm high, dig them back to the ground.
Irrigation
Water frequently and thoroughly. drip irrigation or aqua pores is the best type of irrigation system water that goes directly to plant roots. Mulch with pea straw, alfalfa or sugar cane is a great idea because it controls weeds, reduces evaporation and decomposes over time and improves soil structure.
Vegie Patch appearance
Consider the look - Gardens North, South, East, West does best in a part of North or West.
Consider light - plants need full sun all day.
If you get out of bed, grass will grow through the ground and take over.
Install edge
Dig deeper and add cattle manure / compost / blood / Potash
Work on the site for each crop
Creating grooves - with your shovel, dig and put the soil above the ground. This creates a lot, which is where you plant your seedlings.
Planting
Staking - Better do when you plant. Plants like tomatoes need a game and beans and peas need trellis of some kind of climb. Watering the plants using a watering can with a liquid fertilizer such as Maxicrop added or Seasol (2 capsules for 9 liters). This will help them overcome transplant shock and help them develop roots quickly.
Creating the route reduces compaction and allows you to choose the vegetables with ease.
Departure
When you start to grow your own vegetables, buy seedlings. Raising vegetable seeds requires a warm house / sterile trays and livestock seed mixture, water, potting seedlings or plant them in the garden. Many vegetables do not like being transplanted, so that these types are planted directly into the garden bed. For example, in mild climates tomatoes are summer crops and broccoli and cauliflower are winter crops. See a chart to plant growth when you can plant your vegetables. Some plants are frost tender, so do not plant them until all of the frosts are over. It says Melbourne Cup Day (First Tuesday in November, Australia) is a good day for planting tender vegetables gel. The wind can be a big problem, because the soil dries out and can break your vegetables. Make sure you create the garden in a sheltered area protected from the wind and salt-laden wind.
Vegetable Planting Seeds
How deep into the ground depends on the size of the seed is. For very small / seeds, plowing (soil particles) to be very good. Read the instructions on the back of the seed packet, as it will tell you how deep to plant the seed. Some seeds, like carrots can be planted directly in the garden, while others can be launched in a seed fund tray. Water after planting seeds, but be very gentle with small seeds, such as heavy watering can wash them.
Fertilize vegetables
Plants need a large amount of nutrients as they grow quickly. They need to be fertilized liquid every 2-3 weeks with products such as Maxicrop / Seasol or liquid etc. worm casting Make sure the liquid worm worm is 1/3 or 2/3 liquid water kills plants, because it is very strong.
It is important to understand how nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium stimulates growth. Nitrogen is responsible for the growth of leaves, phosphorus stimulates root growth and potassium is the flowering and fruiting responsible. Since carrots are a root vegetable, adding super phosphate is a good idea. There is nothing nicer than to eat fresh produce grown as you have grown. If you understand your soil and requirements of each pH of the plant, which are more likely to succeed. My next article will discuss the battle between pests and diseases.
