garden is likely to fail.

Gardening

28. What is vegetable Kitchen gardening?
Gardening vegetables is one of the many
past time activities that people indulge
in. Apart from being entertaining, these
are profitable, as the garden later
provides you with some excellent home
grown vegetables.
However, before plunging into the
activity of gardening vegetables, you
need to make sure of certain factors.
The place or site you choose should
receive 6-8 hours of sunlight a day and
also it should be near to a water supply.

29. Purpose of kitchen Gardening
 The main purpose of a kitchen garden is to provide food
for the family.
 To save the amount incurred on kitchen vegetables.
 The saving so made is utilized for other beneficial
purposes.
 In ancient times, kitchen gardens were the sole source
of food in a mainly vegetarian diet.
 In the modern era, the kitchen garden supplements the
food budget and provides balanced nutrition in a
hurried, ready-made-meal world.

30. Kitchen Gardening Serve as
 The kitchen garden may serve as the central feature of
an ornamental, all-season landscape, or it may be little
more than a humble vegetable plot.
 It is a source of herbs, vegetables, fruits, and edible
flowers, but it is often also a structured garden space
with a design based on repetitive geometric patterns.
 The kitchen garden has year-round visual appeal and
can incorporate permanent perennials or woody shrub
plantings around (or among) the annuals.

57. Vegetable juices
The juices extracted from fresh raw vegetables are highly beneficial as
they furnish all the cells and tissues of the body with the elements and
the nutritional enzymes which they need. Vegetable juices may be divided
into three main types. These are (i) Juices from vegetable fruits, that is,
tomatoes and cucumber (ii) Juices from green leafy vegetables such as
cabbage, celery, lettuce, spinach and parsley and (iii) Juices from root
vegetables like beetroot, carrot, onion, potato and radish

60. Mushroom Production
 Mushrooms are
 fungi, and are usually placed
in a Kingdom of there own
apart from plants and
animals.
 Mushrooms contain no
chlorophyll and most are
considered saprophytes. That
is, they obtain
 their nutrition from
metabolizing non living
organic matter. This means
they break down and
 "eat" dead plants, like your
compost pile does.

61. Tips for Getting Started
1. Start small and expand gradually. Smaller gardens are easier to manage,
especially for those without much experience. As a gardener gains experience they
can gradually expand their garden.
2. Protect the garden with a stick enclosure to shelter it from wind, cold, and
animals.
3. Keep soil covered with mulch or ground cover to protect against erosion and
moisture loss.
4. Start collecting materials (manure, bones, weeds, ash, grass, urine) to make
Compost early, and continuously nourish the soil.
5. Where water is scarce or access is limited, use wastewater and harvest rainwater
to irrigate.
6. Plant only a little at a time but plant often, to ensure continuous production.
7. Aim to feed the family first, then look for a market. With good water and crop
management, one will be able to sell when it is dry and prices are high.
8. Be creative, and experiment with new techniques.
9. Try to work the garden daily. Make it a habit, even if just for a few minutes each
day. Working in the garden helps to monitor the progress and identify problems early.
10. Ask Federal Ministry of Agriculture and other extension workers for advice
