Fresh produce is essential in the human diet. It also forms a substantial section of the domestic grocery expenditure, even though such produce is not necessarily cheap. People then attempt to grow their own fruit and vegetables, which is cheaper. To the uninformed, this might seem impossibly difficult, but it is the opposite. You can easily start your own cheap food plot planter in your own backyard.
Before you plant anything, you should first decide what is appropriate to your garden. You should examine the soil, the surface area of the garden, and the security on the premises. Soil that is loaded with stones or fragments of concrete needs to be de-stoned before you can plant in it. You either use your hands to do this or you pan the debris out of it, in the same way that people used to pan for gold long ago.
Your yard also needs to be big enough for the plants that you want to grow there. Some plants, such as watermelons or pumpkins, spread along the ground and require a large amount of space. Others, such as potatoes, grow deep into the soil and should be allowed room underground to expand.
The security of your home is a factor too. Crops which are visible to people in the street might be targeted by thieves. The usual time for this crime is shortly before the crops are ready to be harvested. This time is chosen by thieves because they try to steal the produce before you harvest it at the more natural time. If the security at your home cannot stop this eventuality then you should not waste a season of cultivation on stolen crops.
It is easy to make your own compost at home. It takes time, but it is as useful as any that you can buy in stores. All that you have to do is to dig a depression in the ground and throw all your kitchen waste into. Over time, it accumulates and fills the depression. You then dig the compost into the soil. There is nothing the matter with this homemade compost.
First, dig a pit or trench in the yard, and then use it as a dump for this material. Once the space is full, cover it with the soil and dig it over, so that the material is mixed with the soil. Compost takes time to accumulate but it is very effective.
It might be strange to mention security when talking about the plants in your garden, but this is important when you cultivate food crops. Thieves will try to steal the crops just before they should be harvested, since they expect you to harvest them soon. Your ordinary security should stop them but if it doesn't then you need to implement stronger measures, otherwise your crops will not make it into your kitchen.
The produce that you see in the stores is subject to various agricultural techniques that you cannot practice in your garden at home. These include genetic modification, large-scale irrigation, the use of herbicides and pesticides and the planting of commercial seed. However, you should not try to match commercial produce, since you are saving a large amount of money by growing your own products at home. You might sometimes be surprised at how successful this can actually be, or how big some of them can grow.
