Netting the best for your life.

The fantastic AeroGarden

I dove headfirst into to art of high density organic garden this year in order to reduce the exposure of our crops to the local voracious deer herd by locating the garden closer to our home. This decision started a chain reaction of inquires into having a year round indoor high density garden to supply us with the fresh vegetables that we have grown accustomed to eating during the summer. There are many choices but I settled on a fantastic, complete but simple gardening ecosystem called the AeroGarden. With our normal wariness in experiments we selected the simplest herbal garden seed mix they offer. The system is hydroponic with water flow control and monitor, a timed full spectrum light system and modernistic and attractive design which complemented our kitchen center.

Our children (2 and 6 years old) found the entire process fascinating and it assumed the status of a science project that tasted great. They both enjoy trimming the chive and mint for a tasty treat.

AeroGarden is a complete, well designed and trouble free solution to a desire for fresh vegetables and herbs.

Tips for indoor Herb Gardens?

Do you have any helpful hints for starting an herb garden?

Growing an indoor herb garden is a rewarding and efficient way to grow fresh herbs. You can micro-manage herb plants very well when they are right on your windowsill. When growing herbs indoors instead of outside, you are in control of lighting, temperature and moisture. You adjust these conditions based on what your home environment is. The benefit of this, is that you can grow otherwise difficult herbs indoors, even if they would not thrive in your outdoor conditions.

You can bring some herbs indoors for the colder winter months as long as you have adequate sunlight. This means a southern exposure ideally with about eight hours of sunlight a day. Some signs that your herb garden is not receiving enough light will be long stems and leaves(referred to as leggy), and fading leaves or simply leaves that fall off for no other reason. If you do not get enough light from a window, you can supplement your herb's growth with growlights. These special lights differ from regular light bulbs because they shine with the full spectrum light that plants require. There are complete setups with pots and overhead lighting available or you can purchase the growlight separately and be sure it is placed according to directions. An easy alternative is to purchase flourecent lighting, and place it within 4 inches above the herbs.

Herbs grow very well indoors. They take no more time and effort than a regular houseplant once you decide on the best location for them. Use the different areas in your home to grow herbs with different needs. You will soon have delicious herbal additions to your home with little fuss.

Hope this helps.

Tips for a keen but hopeless vegetable grower?

Hi, I recently bought my first house which has a large garden. Its always been my dream to have a garden full of veg. So started de-weeding/loosening the soil of a large patch in the garden…never knew it was such back breaking & exhausting work! Afterwards, I chose afew veg to try out,chitted potatos, carrots seeds,beetroot seeds,cauliflower seeds,transferring my indoor pumpkin plants to outdoors…currently,only the potatoes & beetroots are doing ok,the rest didn't even bother to pop out of the ground,& my pumpkin plants have turned into all colours of the rainbow before finally dying. My colleague then leant me this book on gardening,which said I had to properly prepare the soil with manure/compost/ fertilisers/air out the soil,& to start from autumn,throughout winter,before planting in spring! Is this really necessary?? Or is it just bad luck that everything I plant ends up dead? & are some veg just more demanding than others & should only be left to the experts? Thanks.

if you want my advice i would suggest you forget about the book for the first year.

the soil preparation will take a number of years to get right

you have done one of the hardest jobs in starting to clear the ground

you say you have potatoes looking okay continue with a few batches of potatoes. these are the best plant to use in virgin soil as they will help you to clear the ground when you come to gather your crop

when you gather your first potatoes get some manure or fertiliser and add it to the ground as you fork it over to tidy up after the crop has been collected.

lettuce is another plant that will not demand a lot of work keep the plants watered. you could try a few cabbage plants and see what joy you have

when you clear an area of ground from potatoes look to dig it over and weed it well and you can look to put some brussel plants in there and you will then have some to gather towards the end of the year, later crops of potatoes can be replaced with some broad beans in october to grow over winter and be ready for picking early june nextr year

the book will give you lots of ideas, keep consulting for ideas but not to work to as garden preparation cannot be done in 12 months unless you have a team of gardeners and a lot of money.

my garden was a wilderness when i bought the house in 2005 (i have been gardening for about 45 years now ) and i estimate it will take me another year at least before i have the garden as i want it

good luck stick at it you will be delighted with the results in time.

one last tip: do the gardening in stages dont rush at it like a demon you will only end up hurting your back and putting you of gardening for ever.
