      Vegetable Gardening 101 - Loren Olson

      Introduction

      There are a great number of reasons to consider getting involved in the trend of home organic vegetable gardening. The vegetables produced are natural and chemical-free, you can harvest your crop every season for free and the process of growing your vegetable garden is a great excuse to get outside and enjoy some fresh air.

      Yet, as appealing as home-grown produce and warm days gardening can be, there are number of things that any aspiring vegetable gardener must know before digging up his garden!

      This eBook is a short introduction to vegetable gardening for the complete novice, which will give information on how to prepare your garden for a vegetable plot and then give specific guidelines for our top twenty vegetables which can be grown at home.

      After reading this eBook, you will know which questions you must ask yourself before planting a new crop, how to prepare the ground for the seeds and how to nurture the plant until harvest.

      So, before investing in expensive equipment and rushing out to buy dozens of seeds, read first this eBook to make sure that you are prepared and well-informed to start your organic vegetable garden.

      Chapter 1 – Soil, Space and Seasons

      Whilst there are certain things that you should do when growing a particular vegetable in your organic garden, there are a number of things which apply to vegetable gardening in general. This chapter is a brief overview of some of things which every vegetable gardener should know in order to produce healthy plants year after year.

      1) Use space well

      This is the first tip that every vegetable gardener should know. Often, when we think of crops, we think of the lines of plants that we see in large farms and allotments, however, when you are growing crops for a single family and have limited space, it is better to use raised flower beds in order to maximize the number of crops you can successfully grow in a small garden.

      In fact, not only does planting your vegetables in squares help to maximize the space you have to grow the plants, but it can also make it easier to help maintain plant growth, as when many plants are planted close together, the shade of the leaves can keep the soil cool and mean that the gardener can get away with watering less
