How to grow and care for your vegetables

Start with soil health. Test your soil’s pH and add organic compost to bring the pH close to 6.5‑7 for most veg. For heavy soils, mix in coarse sand or well‑rotted manure – this improves drainage and root breathing.

Watering is the next big factor. Drip irrigation saves water and delivers moisture right where roots need it. Our drip irrigation guides explain why many skip it, how to cut costs, and the best burial depth for the tubes so they stay protected from sunlight and pests.

When it comes to spacing, give each plant room to grow. Overcrowding reduces air flow and invites diseases. Follow the spacing recommendations on each crop’s page – for example, broccoli needs about 45‑60 cm between plants.

Don’t forget companion planting. Pairing “sister plants” like carrots with onions can deter pests naturally, meaning fewer chemicals and healthier produce. Our companion planting guide lists easy pairings that work well in Indian climates.

Finally, keep an eye on pests. If you prefer a chemical‑free garden, read our natural pest control article for safe alternatives like neem oil, garlic spray, and beneficial insects.

These tips, combined with the detailed articles linked on this page, give you a solid roadmap from seed to plate. Dive into the posts, try a few techniques, and watch your vegetable garden thrive.
