Irrigation and fertilization

The risk of this type of farming systems is the longer we work to remove. If we choose to do it manually , you should use a watering can or a hose with very little pressure , they release virtually a small trickle of water . The amount we use will largely depend on the density of our culture , but we can take as a reference the table incorporates drainage to know when we are going through. The frequency of watering will be in relation to the time of year , if it is true that in the summer, intense heat , it should be done at least once a day . If you opt for a drip system should activate at least twice daily. In this sense we must monitor the evolution of the garden right to know whether or not it is lacking water .

Jose Maria Vallès recommended " plant substrates and organic fertilizers , as we believe that the quality of the vegetables is better and is more educational promote recycling ." Being located on a table, the urban garden requires a greater amount of nutrients that a crop made ​​directly in the ground. In spring it is advisable to add 10 kilos of vermicompost ( worm compost ) per square meter , and then every four months add another two kilos more .

With all these indications , it is difficult to put an excuse not to enjoy our own garden at home. The financial outlay is really low for production we can get, and we'll also save a few euros in the shopping cart. What's more , the quality of vegetables and vegetables has little to do with a market, and we can let them ripen in the garden until they are at their optimum .
