Sustainability

Aim: I want to find out how to grow a sustainable garden. 

Research: 

I want to grow:

- Cabbage to be ready in November-December.

- Broccolli to be ready in November-December 

- Corn to be ready in November-December.

- Carrots to be ready in November-December.

- Lettuce to be ready in October-December. 

Self watering system: Sprinkling diaper crystals into the soil. The soil will slowly absorb the moist crystals, keeping the soil moist for the plants. 

Keeping pests away: Put ground coffee into the soil to keep slugs and cats away who hate it, put netting over the garden to protect the plants and put ladybugs in your garden.
