Before You Design An Herb

Kitchen Garden

1) Before actually breaking ground, design an herb kitchen garden using simple organizational tips.

2) Without a garden design, an herb kitchen garden is likely to fail.

3) A sun loving herb will not thrive on a shady porch, and an herb that prefers shade, will never make it on a sunny windowsill.

4) There is more to planting an herb kitchen garden than falling in love with a specific herb. Here is how to start a successful herb garden.

What Types Of Herbs Do You Want To Grow

With so many herbs to choose from, it is helpful to consider what type of herb kitchen garden you want to grow.

1. Many gardeners decide to grow a multipurpose garden, that can be both beautiful and delicious.

2. Make a quick list of your favorite herbs.

3. Look at the list and see if they are all related to a specific theme.

4. May be you find that your garden favorites are all manageable as an indoor garden.

5. May be your favorites are all healing herbs. Once you narrow down your choices, you can then focus on finding the best specimens available.

How To Design An Herb Kitchen Garden

1. It is important that your herbs fit the growing environment that you

have to offer.

2. It is not essential to have a large farm, in order to produce a

successful harvest.

3. From a small windowsill, to a half acre or more, herbs will provide

hours of enjoyment and delicious taste.

4. The trick is to fit the right herbs to your available garden area.

Vegetables Kitchen

Gardening

What is vegetable Kitchen gardening?

Gardening vegetables is one of the many

past time activities that people indulge

in. Apart from being entertaining, these

are profitable, as the garden later

provides you with some excellent home

grown vegetables.

However, before plunging into the

activity of gardening vegetables, you

need to make sure of certain factors.

The place or site you choose should

receive 6-8 hours of sunlight a day and

also it should be near to a water supply.

Purpose of kitchen Gardening

The main purpose of a kitchen garden is to provide food

for the family.

To save the amount incurred on kitchen vegetables.

The saving so made is utilized for other beneficial

purposes.

In ancient times, kitchen gardens were the sole source

of food in a mainly vegetarian diet.

In the modern era, the kitchen garden supplements the

food budget and provides balanced nutrition in a

hurried, ready-made-meal world.

Kitchen Gardening Serve as

The kitchen garden may serve as the central feature of

an ornamental, all-season landscape, or it may be little

more than a humble vegetable plot.

It is a source of herbs, vegetables, fruits, and edible

flowers, but it is often also a structured garden space

with a design based on repetitive geometric patterns.

The kitchen garden has year-round visual appeal and

can incorporate permanent perennials or woody shrub

plantings around (or among) the annuals.

Vegetable juices

The juices extracted from fresh raw vegetables are highly beneficial as

they furnish all the cells and tissues of the body with the elements and

the nutritional enzymes which they need. Vegetable juices may be divided

into three main types. These are (i) Juices from vegetable fruits, that is,

tomatoes and cucumber (ii) Juices from green leafy vegetables such as

cabbage, celery, lettuce, spinach and parsley and (iii) Juices from root

vegetables like beetroot, carrot, onion, potato and radish

Mushroom Production

Mushrooms are

fungi, and are usually placed in a Kingdom of there own apart from plants and animals.

Mushrooms contain no chlorophyll and most are considered saprophytes. That is, they obtain

their nutrition from metabolizing non living organic matter. This means they break down and

"eat" dead plants, like your compost pile does.

Tips for Getting Started

1. Start small and expand gradually. Smaller gardens are easier to manage,

especially for those without much experience. As a gardener gains experience they

can gradually expand their garden.

2. Protect the garden with a stick enclosure to shelter it from wind, cold, and

animals.

3. Keep soil covered with mulch or ground cover to protect against erosion and

moisture loss.

4. Start collecting materials (manure, bones, weeds, ash, grass, urine) to make

Compost early, and continuously nourish the soil.

5. Where water is scarce or access is limited, use wastewater and harvest rainwater

to irrigate.

6. Plant only a little at a time but plant often, to ensure continuous production.

7. Aim to feed the family first, then look for a market. With good water and crop

management, one will be able to sell when it is dry and prices are high.

8. Be creative, and experiment with new techniques.

9. Try to work the garden daily. Make it a habit, even if just for a few minutes each

day. Working in the garden helps to monitor the progress and identify problems early.

10. Ask Federal Ministry of Agriculture and other extension workers for advice
