Planning Plan before you plant –Plant what you like to eat!!! Make a plan on paper. Considerations include: Seasonality. Space available/space required per plant. Tallest things should be on the north side of the garden. Decide whether to grow from seed or buy transplants. Try to choose varieties with disease resistance.

Garden Plans

Planting Try to plant on a cloudy day. Consider soil temperature. Dig a hole, put in plant, fill with soil and water well. Label everything with ID and date. Trenching tomatoes. Succession planting. Companion planting. Vertical gardening. Crop rotation.

Soil Soil testing is always recommended to know what nutrients or micro-nutrients may be depleted or in excess.. Because this is a new garden, with new soil, don’t be too disappointed in the first year. We generally don’t use much fertilizer, if any. Don’t work when the soil is wet – it will destroy the soil structure.

Watering Water the roots, not the leaves. Water thoroughly, infrequently. Plants need 1” of water a week, unless drought. Drip irrigation is best. Early morning is best. Consider the water requirements of plants you choose It has been said that plants that experience some stress are hardier???

Weeding What is a weed, anyway? Why are they bad? Get them when they are small. Never let them go to seed. Use weed cloth/landscape fabric. Use mulch. Pull by hand or cultivate. Planting close together leaves less room for weeds.

Pest Management- IPM There will always be some undesirable insects. If noticed early, the numbers can be controlled to acceptable levels. IPM – Integrated Pest Management – using a variety of pest management measures including cultural, physical/mechanical, biological and chemical to keep pests at acceptable levels. Observe, observe, observe!

IPM Cultural Physical Biological Chemical

Pest Management Companion planting Physical barriers Good insects

Disease Management IPM – Integrated Pest Management. Good sanitation is key. Always clean up and remove any vegetative debris. Make sure your tools are clean. Proper spacing. Good watering practices Choose plants with disease resistance ( look on seed packets) Know your source for plants.
