Organic Vegetable Garden
Let’s explore how Sqft.farm sets up organic vegetable gardens, ensuring a bountiful harvest of fresh, healthy produce
Initial Assessment and Planning
- Sqft.farm begins by understanding the customer’s space, whether it’s a backyard, balcony, or rooftop.
- We assess sunlight exposure, soil quality, and available water sources. Based on this assessment, we create a customized organic garden plan.
Soil Preparation

- Grow bags or containers with proper drainage are ideal for vegetable gardening. Soil enrichment ensures optimal plant growth.
Plant Selection
- Sqft.farm suggests organic, untreated seeds for vegetables.
- We consider local climate, seasonality, and the customer’s preferences.
- Vegetables like tomatoes, Chillies, brinjal, Radish, etc, tree varieties like drumstick, lemon, papaya, guava etc thrive in organic gardens.
Layout and Planting
- Sqft.farm designs the garden layout, maximizing space efficiency.
- Square foot gardening principles are often used, dividing the area into 1-foot squares.
- Direct seed annual herbs (1 to 4 per square foot) and plant perennial herbs (1 to 2 per square foot).
Sunlight and Watering
- Vegetables need 4 to 8 hours of sunlight daily.
- Consistent watering is crucial. Drip irrigation or self-watering systems can be set up.
Gradual Progression
- Sqft.farm encourages a gradual approach:
- Start with leafy greens and herbs (e.g., Coriander, Mint ).
- Move on to root crops (e.g., radishes, potatoes).
- Finally, graduate to fruiting plants (e.g., tomatoes, peppers).
