Veg growing all by you is not only money saving option, but there are many health benefits related to it. In case there is ample space in your house, you can Grow Your Own Veg as well as sell some of the produce in the market. The vegetables grown in the garden will be fresh, free of preservatives and additives. Thus, you can be assured that the food you are eating is not causing health problems to you or your family members. In
case you have decided to grow Vegetable Plants, the very first thing to consider is the soil or the land for plantation. Most of the residential areas don't have good quality soil because it contains cement and stones.

Make sure that there is 10-20 cm top soil on the land for growing vegetables. You can use tools for separating stones from the area. Using a container with proper drainage will be another good idea. If you are planning the Veg Growing on ground, make adequate measures for irrigation. Raise the level of soil by about 15-20cm, which is called a "bed". Then, add fertilizer to further improve the quality of the soil. In case you want to grow organic vegetables, add organic fertilizer. Next step is to plant seeds into the bed and water them at least twice a day, especially in hot weather. In order to avoid excessive dryness, you can cover the bed with dried leaves or gardening plastic cover. You should also look out for bugs and pets. Snails can eat the shoot or kill the plant. Therefore, you should use biological control or insecticides to keep them away.

Having a garden where you can grow lots of fruits and vegetables will make you feel good. It will not only save money but give you a healthy lifestyle also. Therefore, utilize the space in backyard of your house to enjoy eating fresh vegetables all season all.
