Whats the best site for advice on growing your own veg?

Hey GC,





I like MotherEarth - they have been around since the 60's via magazines. They cover compost, raised beds, compatibility, and all sorts of tips on common gardening for vegies.Whats the best site for advice on growing your own veg?
1. If you're going to go organic, you have to be vigilant with the soil mixtures, mulch, fertilizer, insects... Its a lot of work, even for a small plot (mine is 30' x 10') - but the rewards are worth it!





2. maintain proper watering. nothing can wreck your veggies faster than over watering (rot, mold, blossom drop) or under watering (wilt, insects, death).





3. stay on top of weeds. weeds invite insects and disease.





4. proper fertilization. plan your garden so that plants with similar fertilization and water needs are grouped, this will save you loads of work and heartache.





5. if you lose a plant, don't be discouraged! just chuck it and move on. I used to spend hours trying to determine what went wrong, now I realize, some just aren't meant to be.





6. be wary of shortcuts. they often aren't.





7. and last, but most importantly, enjoy your garden!!Whats the best site for advice on growing your own veg?

Hi:


This is an overall landscape solutions website. There are many articles, tips and techniques on how to plan - prep - plant your vegetable garden. In the garden section there is a page on vegetable gardens. In the spices and herb section there is a page on growing herbs from seeds, which is the same procedure when germinating vegetables. There is a plan - prep -plant page you might be interested in. I hope this information will be helpful to you. I will link you to the site map, as this page has everything that is on the website. Have a great day!

Preparation. Double digging initially..take out a trench, soil to the other end of the plot, dig manure into the bottom and carry on filling the last trench with the soil from the first one. You can have the best advice in the world...but its the ground that will make them grow. If you intend to grow carrots..give manure a miss in that part otherwise the roots will branch. By the time the ground is ready plants will be available at garden centres...just plant them it's no big deal. Enjoy.
