Vegetable gardening may seem daunting task when the vegetable garden is first getting started because, unlike flowers, shrubs or trees vegetables do sometimes take more care and maintenance and many people shy away from the task of growing a vegetable garden because they think these types of gardens are too much work. If you're interested in starting a vegetable garden, you can accomplish your dream and have fresh vegetables this summer just by following these simple tips. Start a Raising Bed What exactly is a raising bed? It's a bed of vegetables, where you will start growing your vegetables from seed, many gardeners typically build their seed beds above ground in sunny areas like decks or patios or next to home garden accents while other gardeners will grow their vegetables indoors under grow lamps so they can have more control over their plants growing environment. Research Your Area The next step successfully growing a vegetable garden is researching which vegetables will grow in your local area. Contrary to public belief, vegetables don't always grow well in all soil types or climates so it's best to research your part of the country to determine which vegetables you should be planting and during what times a year. Compost Pile A core component of every vegetable garden is not outdoor garden décor, it’s the compost pile; your compost pile should include all of your lawn and garden clippings plus organic materials from inside your home like: egg shells, newspaper and other paper products. Never add organic materials like meat, bones or other waste to the compost pile because, those organic materials don't break down as easily and they could cause your compost pile to stink. A key ingredient to add to every compost pile is red wiggler worms because, these worms help organic matter to break down easier and will enable you to get a better return on the hard work that you put into your compost pile. Garden Planning The key ingredient to successfully planning a garden is determining how far apart you want to plant your vegetables, many successful gardeners recommend that vegetables be planted no more than three feet apart from each other so they can have ample room to walk between their vegetables and decor without falling down.
