Veggie Garden Preparation and Planting
Our Veggie Garden Preparation & Planting service is designed to help you create a thriving and productive vegetable garden. We offer a comprehensive approach that covers all the necessary steps for a successful garden, from site selection to planting and maintenance. Here are some key points to highlight about our service:
- Site Selection: We will help you choose a sunny spot for your vegetable garden, as most vegetables require at least 8 hours of direct sunlight per day. If you have limited sun exposure, we can recommend shade-tolerant crops such as herbs and greens.
- Soil Testing and Preparation: Before planting, we will conduct a soil test to determine the pH level and nutrient content of your soil. Based on the results, we will recommend any necessary amendments, such as lime or fertiliser, to ensure optimal growing conditions for your vegetables.
- Ground Preparation: If your garden area is currently a lawn or has perennial weeds, we will use effective methods such as tillage and sheet mulching to prepare the garden bed. This is best done in early spring before the weeds start to grow or immediately after mowing them short.
- Making a Plan and Planting: Once the ground is prepared, we will work with you to create a planting plan that includes fertilisation, weed control, and irrigation. We can help you decide whether to plant seeds directly in the soil, use transplants, or start your own transplants;
- Irrigation: Most vegetable crops require about 2.5 centimetres (1 inch) of rainfall per week during the growing season. If there is not enough rainfall, we will help you set up a supplemental irrigation system to ensure your plants receive adequate water;
- Maintenance: We can provide ongoing support and guidance for maintaining your vegetable garden, including pest and disease management, pruning, and harvesting. We will also help you with proper crop rotation to control soil diseases and pests;
By offering a comprehensive service that covers all aspects of vegetable garden preparation and planting, we can help you create a productive and enjoyable garden that provides you with fresh and healthy produce throughout the growing season.
