Tips and Resources

This area will be expanded over time with wisdom and insight from our members and gardeners around the world! If you have a particular area of interest you’d like to write on, or outside resources to share, please email us at plantgrowfeed@gmail.com!

Starting your garden

  • Find your hardiness zone (and check out the plant calendar tool)
  • Take some time to learn more about what you’re planting and their needs
  • Prepare your soil and remember that compost and organic matter are your friends!
  • If you don’t have the space or time to start seedlings indoors, remember that the garden has a sale every May 🙂
  • Take an experimental mindset and don’t be too hard on yourself if things don’t work out as planned, especially if you’re new to gardening!

Minimizing food waste

  • Remember to focus on growing what you know you like to eat and expand and experiment based on what works for you!
  • Roast anything and everything to make it tasty
  • No, you don’t have to eat all those tomatoes at once! Find out what you can preserve and how
  • Reach out to friends or other gardeners to find harvest buddies who might be growing different things that you can swap with!
  • Share with friends, neighbors, or using the free shelf at the garden!
