By dedicating a few hours a week to maintaining your vegetable garden, you will avoid many inconveniences and promote the growth of your vegetable plants.
Actions to Prioritize for Proper Vegetable Garden Maintenance
To properly care for your vegetable garden, prioritize a few simple actions to perform regularly. These actions include:
- performing regular manual weeding
- favoring deep watering as needed, once a week, rather than frequent superficial watering
- breaking the soil surface between rows and around the plants every two weeks, known as hoeing
- spreading natural mulch in the walkways
- regularly cleaning the plants
- removing damaged leaves
- cutting broken stems
- harvesting herbs, vegetables, and small fruits regularly
- applying an additional dose of organic fertilizer rich in potassium at the end of June for vegetable plants like tomatoes, eggplants, and cucumbers.
Pest Insects
Despite all your efforts and good care, some pests may invade your vegetable garden. To eliminate them, you can use ecological or organic insecticides only when necessary.
