If you are seriously interested in learning about gardening, you need to think beyond the basics. This informative article takes a look at the things you need to know about gardening. 1. Planting methods: There are several methods for planting. Choosing one of these methods depends on the vegetable, the size of your garden and your preferences. Three methods of planting, ie, single rows, wide rows, and hills are interpreted as follows: A Single Row): In this method, seeds are sown in rows or lines evenly spaced distances. The distances between rows and between seeds in different rows of plants, vegetables. If you want the rows are straight, which gives a pleasant appearance to your garden, a piece of rope between two stakes and sow the seeds along it. If you think this is too much work, use a stick to one line on the ground and try to make the line as straight as possible. With some practice straight.B) Wide Rows: In the entire row of plants, seeds are sprinkled at the same distance in both directions over a wide area. The line width varies from 6 to 16 inches. The width of the line is constrained by the arm to reach the area in the center of the line, while at the edges. We find that wide rows are convenient and productive for peas and beans. Besides giving a high yield per unit area, cut the weeds. Wide rows are also good for starting leaf vegetables like lettuce and spinach. When the seedlings emerge, they can be thinned and transplanted elsewhere. Double rows are a special form of rows.C wide) Hills, near the hill planting, 3 to 5 seeds sown together. Should not be grown on a formed hill, as its name suggests. This method is used for plants and zucchini cucumbers.2. Crop rotation: Crop rotation is the practice of planting each vegetable in a different place each year. The advantages of crop rotation are: a) the risk of transmitting diseases and insects to reduce next year will be reduced. Specific diseases and insects attack specific plants. These diseases and insects move the plant in the land where the winter. If the same vegetable is planted in the same place next year, diseases and soil insects and attack the new plants. B) Each vegetable absorbs small amounts of specific minerals from the earth. If the same vegetable is planted in the same place year after year, the minerals plants need to grow healthy plants are depleted, resulting in crop failure. C) The roots of legumes (peas and beans) are bacteria that absorb nitrogen from the air and put it on the roots of plants and soil. To take advantage of soil nitrogen, legumes should be followed by a green vegetable such as lettuce and spinach, in which the necessary nitrogen rich soil. This is one of the techniques organic growers use to grow vegetables without using chemical fertilizers. It is impractical to rotate every crop each year if your garden is small. I trust that what you've read so far has been informative. The following section should go a long way to dispel all the uncertainties that remain. This problem can be solved by the following measures: (1) choose disease-resistant plant varieties, (2) Keep your yard clean of debris, and (3) Check for insects and diseases. If a plant is infested with insects, pick hand, if a plant is infected with a disease, remove it from the ground and pull it.3. Garden Tools: gardening tools available. The main tools you need is a shovel, a shovel, a steel rake, tomato boxes, and the water hose or can. The shovel is used for soil mixture of potting soil, move soil around, and cut the weeds if they grow large. Some gardeners use a fork instead of a shovel to earth, but not us. The choice is yours. The spoon is used for cultivating the weeds, transplanting seedlings, mixing soil or fertilizers, packaging and filling with soil. The steel rake is used for soil quality and compact the soil over the seeds. Tomato cages are essential for supporting tomato plants. You can also support running plants such as cucumbers and peas. Without them, the plants fall to the earth and its fruits will be in contact with the ground and rot. A hose or can be used for watering plants in the garden and containers.4. Gardening Clothing: During garden, footwear and apparel is likely to be soiled. Walking on gravel or mud, your clothes in
