Vegetable Gardening for Master Gardeners Jeff Schalau Agent, Agriculture & Natural Resources Arizona Cooperative Extension 3/14/12

Site Characteristics 6-8 hours of sun (preferably more) Water available for irrigation Soil that can be adequately improved Fencing/gates

Soil Preparation Organic Matter/Compost (up to 4” deep) Check pH is best – add soil sulfur if needed Nitrogen Phosphorus Till to homogenize Irrigate to settle Allow to dry Rake to level

Determining Spacing Know size of mature plant and space accordingly (L x W x H) Can get creative with vertical dimension 4 th Dimensions: L x W x H x Time Seed packets instructions are a starting point

Fertilizers Some crops have high nitrogen requirements and side dressing N in mid-season is recommended Organic fertilizers provide timed release effect Inorganic fertilizers may be used too –Timed-release products (osmocote, etc.) –Urea –Triple Super Phosphate –Others…

“Organic” Fertilizers Homemade Compost By-products (feather, hoof, horn, bone, blood, fish, etc.) Alfalfa Meal Green Manure Manures and Guanos Seaweed

Manures ManureN%P%K%Availability Cattle moderate Horse slow Swine rapid Poultry rapid Sheep moderate

Fencing Rabbits - three foot tall chicken wire fence with 1-inch hexagonal mesh buried a few inches Deer - 6 to 8 feet tall fence, mesh or electric could be considered, many designs Raccoon - combination of rabbit and deer fence Squirrels – completely covered cages

Irrigation Drip Tape Soaker Microsprinklers Mulch to conserve water

Planting Times Warm Season Crops – plant beans, squash, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, cucumbers, etc. after soil has warmed (mid-May in Prescott and late April/early May in VV). Cool Season Crops – generally root crops and/or leafy green crops – some have dual planting seasons – check “Ten Steps to a Successful Vegetable Garden Publication”. Corn and potatoes can be planted early spring with frost protection.

Season Extenders Cold frames – good for winter greens Floating Row Cover (remay, frost cloth) is great for starting early spring crops and for protecting crops from birds and grasshoppers Hoop houses work well for season extension, but need to be opened up in the heat of summer Walls of Water – great for early planting of warm season crops
