Veggie gardens

Absolutely! We don't just sell and deliver gardening and landscaping supplies — we also pride ourselves on making ourselves available with helpful advice for our customers. If you're thinking of starting a veggie garden, contact our qualified team. They can show you how to start a vegetable garden from scratch. We can even help you buy soil for your vegetable garden.

The first step in starting a veggie garden is choosing the location. Growing a successful garden is highly contingent on things like:

• Veggie garden soil quality
• Light
• Rainfall
• Temperature
  

Some common veggie garden plants, like broccoli, asparagus, beets and beans will thrive in the shade. Other plants do much better if exposed to direct sunlight — like sunflowers (the clue is in the name). Many garden vegetables need lots of water to grow (tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce), while many beans are adapted to drought conditions.

All of which is to say that, before you choose what to plant, take stock of your surroundings, and plan what is likely to succeed. If you're not sure, our staff will be happy to talk you through the fundamentals and other home vegetable garden ideas.

In the long run, a veggie garden is much less expensive than ordering equivalent fruits and vegetables from the shops. As to how much it costs to start a veggie garden, that's up to you. Whether you want to start out with just a few seeds and a watering can or if you're planning a massive irrigation network, we can help you get started.
