Gardening in an appartment
I live in an appartent - 10th floor, which is in Toronto, Canada. I am
thinking of growing three vegetables in the Flower Pots. I don't know anything about growing. I have one flower pot, but that's about it Right now,I want to grow tomatoes, green chilies, and mint. I am hoping that I can grow them without using any chemical. I did some research about growing aboved mentioned vegetables, however, most of the advice is about growing them in a garden. Do I have worry about same issues - like danger of frost, temperature, acid soil with a pH, diseases, and rotating crops? I learned that there are varities of tomatoes, geen chilies, and I am not sure which one will be good for growing in an appartment. Also, I like the mint avilable in indian market in Toronto, it has very nice smell, does anyone know what's called, I would like grow that mint. From what I understand tomatoes and other plants need rich soil. I read that some people used left over tea-bags, water which they used to clean vegtable & rice for enriching soil. Can I use egg shell, leafs for it, beside tea-bags, rice water? I am not sure I can get a organic fertilizer in Toronto. According to one site tomatoes are members of the poisonous nightshade family, I don't suppose their leaf can be used for soil rich? Ps: My appartment windows are east & west, will this be a problem? Thanks in advance. |
