Nutrients, Water, and Pests
At the onset, fertilizers are necessary on a regular basis (weekly), as the growing plants will be eating like teenagers. It is important to keep a close eye on the water levels. Every plant has different water requirements. Unlike herbs, vegetables are a bit more selective about their environment. Ensure that the plants do not become too dry by watering them regularly. Don’t leave your plants thirsty! On the other hand, over watering is a more common problem with equal or worse consequences. Keep an eye on the plants to gauge how much water they need and check regularly behind leaves for mould. Drooping is a sign of needing water, while plants that start dropping leaves are probably over hydrated.
