Grow some of your own food by starting a vegetable garden. You’ll eat better and save money.
Step 1: Decide on a garden type
Decide between a raised-bed garden or an in-ground one. Raised beds, which consist of purchased topsoil that sits within a wooden frame, are ideal if your soil is stony or sandy. The main advantage of an in-ground garden is that it needs less watering.
Tip
For an in-ground garden, test your soil to find out what nutrients it needs. Garden centers sell do-it-yourself kits, or you can arrange a test through the Cooperative Extension System, a national agricultural network. Find a nearby office on the USDA web site.
Step 2: Pick a good spot
Pick a spot that gets a lot of sun and isn’t obscured by tree or hedge shade.
Step 3: Prep the land
Prepare the land by building your raised bed or clearing and tilling a patch of land to a depth of about one foot. A 10 foot by 10 foot parcel is a good size for a beginner. For an in-ground garden, install a wire mesh fence three to four feet high to help keep out critters.
Tip
Leave the top foot of the fence unsecured so that if an animal attempts to climb it, it won’t support his weight and he won’t be able to get over it.
Step 4: Seeds versus seedlings
Decide if you want to plant seeds directly in the soil; start growing seeds in small containers, like egg cartons, and then transplant them into your garden when they take root. Or, buy seedlings from a nursery that are ready to go into the ground. If you start with seeds, you’ll wait longer to harvest your vegetables.
Tip
In colder climates, the shorter growing season makes some vegetables impossible to grow directly from seed.
Step 5: Plan your veggies
Plot out what you’d like to plant, taking into consideration what grows well in your area. Orient the rows east to west with the tallest plants on the north side so they won’t shade the shorter ones.
Step 6: Sow your seeds
Start your seeds following the instructions on the package. Plant your seedlings when it’s appropriate to do so, which depends on both the crop and your climate. Your local garden center or nearest Extension office can give you this information, or you can find it on the web.
Tip
Maximize output by planting a warm-season crop after harvesting a cool-season crop.
Step 7: Try companion planting
Plant compatible vegetables near each other. To find out which veggies grow better together and which are best kept far apart, type “companion planting” into a search engine.
Step 8: Put in some flowers
Plant a few flowers among your crops. They’ll attract bees, which will help pollinate your plants.
Did You Know?
Guinness World Record holder Charles H. Wilber harvested 1,368 pounds of tomatoes from just four plants.
love the bunny š <3
I’m beginning to wonder if whoever did this video has ever even stepped foot into a garden. Starting your own seats does not put you back on your harvest dates. You start your seeds inside months I had and it puts you way ahead on your harvest dates

Lately I’ve developed an euphoria for eating healthy.Ā This being the case, I believe each person should plant a seed in their yard to start a vegetable garden.Ā Planting a vegetable garden eliminates spending excess cash in the supermarket.Ā Where I live they do lots of importing particularly from the US.Ā Rather than purchase vegetables, I have adopted a plan to start a garden and plant as much fruits and vegetables as possible.Ā Agriculture is notĀ significant in my family or the Bahamas.Ā But based onĀ research I’ve conducted, and listening to medical experts, people are to eat raw vegetables andĀ take inĀ more fruits.Ā It can go a long way eliminating obesity, as well asĀ terminal illnessesĀ like cancer, hypertension,Ā diabetes and stroke.Ā I endorse this objective, and intend to learn all I could to having a healthy life-style.

Lots of things wrong here, like not spacing plants correctly, not firming them into the soil, poor light for the seedlings and much more. Search YouTube for my video ‘How to Plant a Vegetable Garden – Response’ to avoid the many mistakes that this video makes (HowCast won’t let me post it as a video response).
I’m wanting to do this because I have a bearded dragon and it will be cheaper for me to just grow his veggies. So thank you for this video.
Beautiful video . So organised step by step guide. I am impressed with this . thanks for sharing.
Maintaining vegetable garden in shade is not so easy . We require tips at initial level .
