What is the best way to do a vegetable garden?
Top tips for a successful vegetable garden Full sun is best. Prepare your soil well before you plant. Thoroughly remove all weeds, dig to loosen the soil, and amend with compost and fertilizer as needed. Choose vegetables that your family likes to eat. Lack of sunlight While the definition of full sun is at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day, many vegetables prefer to have 8 hours of sunlight or more. While there are some vegetables that can survive and even thrive in part-shade gardens, in many cases a lack of sunlight can cause the plant to grow slower.Most vegetables grow best in a sunny position. If you have a shady spot then you can still grow crops such as endive, lettuce, radicchio, peas and spinach. Others will grow, but probably not to their full potential – especially fruiting crops.
