Frequently asked questions
Organic Vegetable Gardens Gauteng questions
How much sun does a vegetable garden need?
Many productive vegetables prefer at least six hours of direct sun, with fruiting crops often benefiting from more.
Are raised beds always necessary?
No. They help with access, drainage and contained soil, but in-ground beds work well where soil and drainage are suitable.
Which irrigation is best?
Drip irrigation is efficient for many beds, while micro systems can suit specific layouts. The design should avoid persistent wet foliage where disease is a concern.
Can I grow vegetables in pots?
Yes. Use suitable container volume, drainage, potting medium, feeding and frequent moisture checks.
What should I send for a quotation?
Provide photographs, approximate dimensions, sunlight observations, water point location, access and whether you want in-ground or raised beds.
