I want to find out how to grow a sustainable garden.
Things I need to consider:
- Can the plants grow in our climate?
- What plants can you grow when planted in September?
- How long do they take to mature? When can they be harvested?
- How many mature plants will fit into my garden size?
- How can I water them during the holidays?
- How do I keep pests away?
What I want my garden to look like
The potato grows approximately 2-3 months it can also grow in winter.
Lettuce grows for 1-3 months and it can also grow in winter.
It takes basil about 14 days to grow.
The sunflower takes 80-120 days
Method:
I found a way to make a homemade self watering for plants.
- To make this you need a water bottle
- fill it up with water
- put the lid on with a tiny hole in it
- dig a hole in your plant perfect size for your water bottle
- Then put the water bottle in hole.
You can use water bottles as a homemade contraption to keep the pests away.
- first of all you need obviously need water bottles.
- Chop half of the water bottle
- Place the chopped water bottle in your plant.
- This also protects your plants from frosting.
Method:
What we need:
