How many times a week should I water my vegetable garden?
How Much Water Should I Give My Garden Plants? Deep watering encourages deeper and stronger root growth. Therefore, watering gardens about 2 inches (5 cm.) or so once a week is preferable. Watering more often, but less deep, only leads to weaker root growth and evaporation.
What is the best way to grow vegetables?
Choose a sheltered, sunny spot for growing veg. Exceptions to this rule include salad leaves and some herbs, which can bolt (run to seed) in full sun, and therefore do better in partial shade. Prepare the soil by removing weeds and adding well-rotted compost or manure, and rake level. Only grow what you have space for.

How often should I fertilize my vegetable garden?

Vegetables growing in porous, well-drained soil should be fed frequently. Usually a balanced fertilizer is applied every three to four weeks throughout the growing season. Don’t stop applications when fruit appears—continue to apply fertilizer as needed to ensure continued production.
