SensiBio’s tips before going further
If growing these first crops has made you want to extend the experience by creating a fully-fledged vegetable garden in your yard, here are a few tips to get you started.
Aurore explains that the season is perfect to grow a vegetable garden at home! If your seeds have already sprouted, take advantage of the fact that the rainy, hot season is over to get started.
Prior to planting, think about loosening the soil first: whether in your garden or in a pot, plant roots need aerated soil to grow. The reason is that good quality soil contains 50% air and is rich in nutrients. All you have to do is loosen the soil using a garden fork, for instance.
Finally, to sustain your vegetable garden, think about diversifying your crops: letting natural herbs grow will help recreate a true natural ecosystem that will keep snails and other unwanted pests away. In other words, you will form a small green lung within your garden!
