Canada will also end at that time all winter long, spring, warmer temperatures, birds and animals out of the cave, things grow! This also means that the spring sowing season approaching. The Chinese in Canada a lot to buy a House, many have a back yard in the front yard. When asked what backyard when most people's answer is expected--grow vegetables! Yes, vegetables like is Chinese ethnic talent skills, now Canada prices are so expensive and growing your own fresh nutrition and health not only to save money, also added a fun of life. But the impression of whether vegetables are like the following figure?
Watering and fertilizing to pick from to the dirt, long distance is too wide, then feel a waste of land production is very low; range is too narrow, then take care of picking is difficult. Especially in dense fumble among the tomatoes ripe tomatoes as if the jungle horror, afraid to be unknown worm attack, this is a series for small gardens the most terrible memories. But the biggest drawback is not beautiful! Not beautiful!
Want high yield, easy and beautiful, not a foot of mud idea?? Super living below will introduce a foot vegetable garden, not only applies to the backyard, balcony is also possible.
"FT Garden (square foot garden) was an engineer called Mel Bartholomew invented in the 70 's of the last century.
First of all, you need a 4 foot by 4 foot (about 1.2X1.2 m) thick wooden box. This size is manageable, most of the people standing next to the vegetable garden can easily reach the center of, without stepping on a foot of mud. 6 inches to 12 feet high, depending on what kind of food you want. If you want the kind of deep-rooted plant will be a little higher, if placed directly in the land Office by the plant roots grow down, not too high.
And then find a suitable place in the backyard on a wooden box, the soil is not important, or even stone bricks doesn't matter. But the choice of venue must have full-time, and no shade, and terrain are not too low to the water. Wooden box covered with wire mesh at the bottom.
And is in the soil, and recommended by Mel Bartholomew is the compost (compost), peat (peat moss) and perlite (perlite) to 1bi1bi1 gold mix to fill the entire box. Coco peat can be used instead of peat, sand or vermiculite (vermiculite) instead of Perlite. Trouble with Canadian Tire or other pot with soil can be sold in supermarkets.
Then you can use a strip of wood or ropes fixed to the wooden frame, the vegetable into 4 rows and 4 columns altogether 16, so that each cell is a square feet (about 30X30 cm). How neat is not OCD is the cure for it? Division of attention, just under the surface lattice, below the soil was not separated.
The last step is to grow vegetables! Every 1 ' X1 ' according to the number of cells can grow vegetables varies according to the size of plants, see chart.
Cushaw pumpkin melon watermelon ... ... Melons need more space to account for two, Eggplant with tomato and broccoli cabbage peppers cucumbers each occupy a lattice, lettuce and Basil potatoes strawberries a marigold lattice can plant 4, beans such as spinach beet can grow 9, radish carrots onions and onion, a lattice of smaller species, 16.
Principle of matching is to mix different kinds of crops as possible, because this will not only help attract bees to pollination increased production, pest and disease prevention is also beneficial. Cruciferae of lettuce were most vulnerable to invasion of Lepidoptera larvae, and other plants such as herbs are compatible with insecticide odor, then not so easy bugs are found.
Super small series according to the preferences of his portfolio a bit, isn't it cool? Purpose of tomatoes to the middle because of higher plants, easy picking.
Such a little vegetable garden, because with good soil and planted, with the smallest area for maximum yield. And is divided by the Board out of the area, add a support frame or fence are more convenient, can be fixed directly on the Board. A garden not eating for the whole family? It's no problem! As long as neatly placed a few small garden in the backyard, convenient management and high yield, year with fresh vegetables!
There is not easy to bend for the elderly at home? It's no problem! Plus four legs into vegetable garden can be on the table, wood at the bottom of outlet should be strong and set aside. Condo balcony party can also be reduced in size by half, made into 2 foot by 4 foot balcony garden.
Super Tips for watering recommend using barrels to collect rainwater. Collect dead branches left to decay in the shredded leaves into a large bucket of rotting leaves and soil (compost), second year mixed with garden soil and improve soil without chemical fertilizers can also have good harvests year after year.
Creative decorations, is like the flower beds? Free gardeners take care of the backyard, you can have your own gardener. Your back yard a new look for the new year, so surprised when friends and family come to visit it!
Materials can go to Home Depot and buy wood themselves to create, or you can go to Costco sale of finished products, such as businessmen buy products directly.
