If you are tired of food crop prices always rising on the market, then it’s time to set up your own garden to grow your own food. When you want to start growing your crops you will need to consider certain things like what variety of crop, what time to start growing and how to prevent pests and diseases? Climatic and Soil Requirements You will need to consider other things like climate, soil, rainfall, and available space. 1. Climate : Some locales only have a brief growing season, such as Northern Europe and Africa. This means growing quick producing plant varieties that can be harvested and stored for the winter. Other areas have year-long warm weather, where fresh vegetables and grain can be harvested on demand. 2. Soil : Depending on the type you have available, you may expect very high yields from a large area, or meagre yields from small areas. The best plan to follow is to plant a food crop which flourishes in your conditions as a staple, and use surplus land to grow
