Vegetable Gardening

petersruby20 asked:


I have an 8-foot long by 4-foot wide by 1 foot deep raised garden bed for vegetables. What should I fill it with and how much? I assume I need compost and soil. Wondering how much of each, or what else I need to use?
Thanks

I know that you need organic material but what else is important for that perfect soil?

Is it going to hurt to use the same dirt that you use to plant flowers, to use in a vegetable garden?

I am interested in nutitional veggies, not perfect looking tastless ones. I used a well know flower and veggie plant food last year (Miracle Grow) makes nice flowers.The fruit did not taste sweet and the skins were thick and tough. I have added more garden soil and composted manure this year but I want something more to boost the crop in quantity and taste. Any suggestions? Or should that be enough? I am looking for a home made organic fertilizer, any tried and true recipes? I am planning on sharing what ever grows with family and neighbors. so I am hoping for a bumper crop. I am growing lots of tomatos,cucumbers, some watermelon,carrots,yellow beans,radishes,chives,parsley..oh yes flowers lots. I wanted more but ran out of garden darn!
I am looking for a market brand organic liquid or powder veggie food. I will try the others in different parts of my garden and experiment. I really want lots to harvest I love fresh plentiful veggies!
I have started composting my veggie peels,leaves, fruit,grass clippings,egg shells,coffee grinds,tea leaves,but for now I need something else.

I have no experience building things, but think it would be pretty easy to make a 4ft x 12ft raised bed for my vegetable garden. I want it about 18″ deep. Any blueprints or ideas out there? I don’t have a drill and can have Home Depot cut the wood to size for me. Thanks!!

I am planning to build my own vegetable garden box for the first time. Looking for ideas. I am planning to use a area facing north (plenty of morning sunlight). Area would be 4ft long x 2ft wide. Any suggestions?
Please give me all ideas and tips if you have built your own before (type of wood, height, dimensions, etc.) I welcome any suggestions!

We have a large garden away from the house but I want to plant a few things close. What would you suggest? Do you have kitchen vegetable garden? What do you plant in your “close to the house” garden?

I want to start a vegetable garden but I am not sure if I need to have a raised bed or if I can just plant my vegetables in the ground with good soil.

Can I successfully grow a vegetable garden in a backyard like this?

There are some sunny areas, and some shaded areas. The space that where a garden would fit well is kind of in between.
