If you're looking for locally grown fruits and vegetables, why not try home grown? Growing produce in the backyard can be easy. Follow these tips to start your garden:
Choices. Consider what you and your family like to eat; how much you'll eat; and sunlight availability.
Soil. Conduct an easy soil test available at local garden stores to determine whether soil has the proper nutrient balance.
Feed. Based on soil test, complete a balanced nutrient application. Commercial fertilizers are generally the easiest to use.
Time. Planting and spacing depths are critical, so read the depth notes on the seed packets.
Water. Mature plants need about an inch of water each week. NewsUSA
