Act now to double your harvest!

The success of a vegetable garden depends largely on the amount of work done upstream. If you want to double your harvest and enjoy abundant fruits and vegetables, it is essential to act now by following these practical tips.

1. Prepare the ground

  • Start by ploughing and improving the soil to allow the roots to develop better. Enrich the soil with compost or manure to bring the necessary nutrients to the plants.
  • Test the soil pH and adjust it if necessary by adding lime or sulphur. A balanced pH will promote plant growth.

2. Choose the right varieties

Choose plant varieties adapted to your climate and the planting season. Select species resistant to diseases and pests to limit the risk of loss.

3. Plan your crops

  • Set a planting and crop schedule to optimize the available space and crop succession. This will allow you to maximize your harvest throughout the year.
  • Practice crop rotation to prevent soil depletion and limit pest attacks. Alternate plant families to maintain the balance of the vegetable garden.

4. Bring water and fertilizer

Make sure to water your plants regularly, especially in dry weather, to promote their growth and productivity. Use suitable fertilizer to bring the nutrients necessary for their development.

5. Protect your crops

  • Protect against pests and diseases by using nets, bells or natural purins. Notify attacks by taking preventive actions and regularly monitoring the condition of your plants.
  • Straw the soil to limit weed growth and maintain soil moisture. This will reduce competition between plants and promote their development.

6. Harvest regularly

Do not let your fruits and vegetables ripen too long on plants. Harvest them regularly to encourage new shoots and extend the production season. Eat or preserve your crops as you enjoy their freshness and flavours.

By following these steps and acting now, you will put every chance on your side to double your harvest and enjoy quality products throughout the year. Don’t wait, get into your vegetable garden and enjoy the joys of home culture!
