How to Plant Vegetables:

  1. Pick the Right Spot
    Most vegetables need 6–8 hours of sunlight daily.
  2. Dig a Hole
    Hole should be twice as wide and the same depth as the root ball so that roots can spread naturally.
  3. Prep Your Soil
    Remove half the soil and replace it with a rich blend like our Land & Sea Compost or Garden Soil. Mix in Bio-tone® Starter Plus to support strong root development.
  4. Plant Properly
    Follow spacing and depth guidelines for each plant or seed. Give roots room to grow.
  5. Water & Mulch
    Water thoroughly after planting and add mulch to help retain moisture and keep weeds down.

How to Care for Vegetables:

  • Feed for Bigger Harvests
    Use Garden-tone® or Tomato-tone® (for tomatoes and fruiting crops) to provide steady nutrition. Apply monthly throughout the growing season.
  • Watering Tips
    Keep soil consistently moist—especially during hot weather and fruit development.
  • Support & Train Plants
    Use stakes, cages, or trellises for crops like tomatoes and cucumbers to keep plants healthy and productive.
  • Harvest Often
    Picking vegetables regularly encourages continued production and better flavor.
