Farming

      Farming is one of the simplest ways to grow produce. There are so many choices to use when your median (soil, coco, hydro, clay, etc). The choice that I find that is easiest for first-time farmers is soil. You can read the different materials that compose the soil you choose. For instance in a bag of Miracle grow potting soil sphagnum peat moss, aged bark fines, perlite, plant food, and a wetting agent. Then there is the option to make your own soil. By buying the different ingredients to create your median. You have more control over the number of nutrients that go into your plant.

    I have started growing a small herb garden. I went with soil. I purchased small tin pots to start the germination of seeds. I drilled three small holes at the bottom of the pots first. I made my organic soil. I used perlite, worm castings, and living soil from Fox Farm. I used the ocean soil blend. After filling each pot with the living soil. I filled 6 pots with soil. 

    The seeds that were planted were dill, lavender, basil, oregano, and rosemary. Now the waiting game begins.
