VEGETABLE GARDENING FOR BEGINNERS - Yvette Reese
Introduction
Vegetable farming is one of our species’ first occupations. Around 9500 BCE, or more than 11,000 years ago, humans began researching and practicing agriculture. It was this revelation, that not only can the earth produce food, but that we can also regulate that production, enabled humans to build villages, towns, and finally cities.
Agriculture made several breakthroughs. Remedies could be cultivated, and the ancient Egyptians started to employ plants such as aloe vera as medicines. Agriculture also enabled humans to begin creating textiles such as cotton and hemp. But none of these findings can compete with vegetable farming. Before the invention of agriculture, it was not unusual for tribes of people to be hungry throughout the winter; large sections of the population were often wiped off owing to a shortage of food. Being able to regulate food production helped us produce enough food to preserve for the winter and prevent hunger. It changed the whole course of human history. We went from being primitive animals to making written language so that these ways could be passed down from one generation to the next.
The transition to agricultural methods resulted in a new way of life. Farming would be seen as a great heritage for years to come. Even though the rules made by the ruling class often made them unpopular, these hardworking people made sure that the kingdoms and villages had food. Despite their difficulties, vegetable producers were an essential component of the human equation.
It wasn’t until the arrival of modern man that vegetable farming and growing got a bad rap. With all of the new technology being produced on a daily basis, plus the fact that you can walk to the grocery store and get whatever vegetable you want, the notion of a vegetable grower and farmer has become less enticing to the ordinary person. Instead of learning how to plant, today’s young people are studying law or business. Others would seek fame and wealth, either succeeding or failing along the way.
As the twentieth century drew to a close, it seemed that vegetable gardening as a vocation, pastime, or simply an interest was dying away, another characteristic of the distant past that no longer interested civilization as it moved forward. When you can purchase your food online and chemical treatments create veggies twice the size they used to, it seemed obvious that getting your hands filthy in the soil was no longer necessary.
However, in the twenty-first century, this has been reversed. As people have made more and more machines and technology, they have become more and more tired. People have become bored of the chemicals that are being put into their food; they are no longer as enticing as they once were. There has been a drive to embrace green or ecologically sound methods, as well as organic foods that are devoid of toxic chemicals.
Returning to the earth is a calming experience for the twenty-first-century man. There is a sense of pride in producing your own food, a sense of accomplishing something meaningful, and returning to the roots of what it means to be a person by participating in and sharing an experience that has linked humans together for more than 400 years.
You will learn how to create your own vegetable garden and experience this sensation of calm, pride, and connection to the environment around you.
Chapter 1
Designing for Container Gardening
I’ve seen a lot of inventive ideas from individuals who utilize containers to produce beautiful flowers and veggies, but they also employ unique and sometimes weird materials to grow plants in.
Although certain materials are not suitable for vegetable cultivation, many are. This makes creating your yard enjoyable. Using your imagination not only allows you to enjoy the process but also adds a fun aspect to your gardening.
2. Arrangements - I’ve included several ways you can utilize objects you currently possess below, and if you’re handy, you’ll have plenty of alternatives.
Make appealing pot groupings
Make use of containers of various colors and sizes. For example, you may use one larger pot, one shorter one with a different form, and one that balances the two pots. Place them in a triangle formation, with one container dominating the others. You may also put extra little pots around the triangle to make it more attractive. This will make your yard seem alive and appealing.
Construct a Vertical Pallet Garden
This may be constructed using old wood shipping pallets and set against a fence or wall. You may even support it using posts or cords to make it stand. Plant vines in the pallet and set it on a balcony. To keep the dirt from slipping out, leave it flat on the ground for two weeks. This may also be used to keep the plants in place before hanging the wood pallet.
Wear rain boots and ride an old bicycle.
Container gardening’s most practical and intriguing pots are old rain boots. You may use old boots as planters if you have many pairs lying around. Plant your crop in each boot, and line up all of your rain boots along your fence or on the ground. An old, rusted bicycle is also one of the most visually appealing planters you can use in your yard. You can grow pretty vines in the bike’s frame and use the basket as a place to store your crops.
Repurpose a Wooden Beer Barrel
A wooden beer barrel may be used to create a variety of elegant planter designs. Making a beer barrel planter, whether inside or outdoors, is simple. Beer barrels make fantastic garden accents, particularly when put outside. You may use it as a planter
