VEGETABLE GARDENS

When creating a vegetable garden you need to consider sunlight, pest, and the quality of soil. First you need to have a plot of land that has good fertile soil. Then what kind of plants would you like to grow? Some plants need more room than others because they grow larger. One of the major pluses of having your own vegetable garden is that you can grow it organically. You can do ecologically friendly pest control by having things like ladybugs who eat ahipds. When planting vegetable gardens there is a timeline that needs to be followed. Planting usually begins in May but before you plant you can set up the garden and assign task to each classroom. Be sure to have some volunteers willing to take care of the garden during the summer months since school is not in session. Then in September all the hard work pays off when you all can finally harvest.
