Tips for Good Living

 Home vegetable gardening

A small vegetable garden in the backyard can produce much food during a season, part of which can be preserved by canning for off-season periods. Michelle Obama is right. Vegetable gardens are very healthy in two ways. First, vegetables from the own garden are so fresh and tasty, that is, they taste so differently from those bought at grocery. For example, you can never buy tomatoes from grocery that taste like those from the backyard. They are free from pesticide chemicals if you don’t use them. Second, working for home vegetable garden itself is a healthy activity because of good exercise and refreshing your mind.

Home vegetable gardening is considered a good way to combat against obesity, although it is not a short cut.

There are some tips you should learn for good cropping as well as for preventing from some difficulties that can arise.

  • Appropriate choices of the vegetables to grow.
  • Prevention of damages caused by rabbits, dears, crows and other animals
  • Use of compost

    What vegetables to grow
    The following vegetables and foods are easy to grow:
    Tomato, Potato, Onion, Green onion, Green beans, Carrot, Swiss chad, Bell pepper, Jalapeno, Zucchini

    Consider also berries and fruits:
    Berries such as blackberry, strawberry, raspberry, mulberry, currant, service berry;
    Fruits such as grape, American sour cherry

    Control of damages by animals

  • Rabbits, Deer: Rabbits and deer attack similar vegetables but both hate the smell of blood meal and garlic. Blood meal powder is sold in garden stores, while minced dried garlic available from food store is very effective to prevent from their damages if spread once in a while. Some people make garlic tea and spray. To make a garlic tea, blend a few garlic cloves with a cup of water in a mixer and pour in a gallon of water.
  • Groundhogs: groundhogs eat a lot of leaf vegetables if they come. They are not very sensitive to garlic or blood meal. If there is a large population, the only way to prevent them is to surround your garden by a fence. A dog in the house may chase them away. Watch around in the yard, not only your own yard by also in the neighbors, to see if there is any nest of groundhogs. If you find one, seal off the entrance securely.
  • Raccoons: Raccoons are seldom a problem because they do not eat vegetables, but they like sweet corns. A solution is to grow a very large amount of corns to feed them yet enough for you is left over after they are satisfied.

    Compost
    Autumn is the best time to start your vegetable garden because collecting autumn leaves and put them in a compost pit is a very highly recommended effort in succeeding in a vegetable garden. Compost pit does not have to be very fancy. Make a small lot at a corner of your back yard available as a compost pit. Surround it by treated lumbers of 2” thick 6’ high. The side length can be 6’x6’, 8’x8’, or 10’x10’, or whatever you think is appropriate.

    In the autumn, the neighbors sweep leaves to the curve so the city will collect. On the other hand, garden owners sweep the leaves inward toward their compost pit. The leaves will decompose by the time you work for the garden in the next spring. Mix the compost in the garden soil. Compost will soften your soil to help retain water in the soil and also give good nutrients that your vegetables will love. The soil condition is noticeably improved by compost. In fact, you will see remarkable differences between the gardens using compost and those that do not. You can also dispose kitchen clippings in the compost but do not dispose meat. The only matters that can be disposed in the compost pit are vegetable clippings, tea bags, flour, and grain products.
