Frequently Asked Questions
For small spaces like balconies or compact raised beds, consider lettuce, radishes, spinach, kale, Swiss chard, bush beans, peppers, and determinate tomato varieties. Herbs like basil, mint, and cilantro also thrive in containers.
Tomatoes require at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth and fruit production. In very hot climates, they may benefit from some afternoon shade to prevent sunscald on fruits.
The ideal starting time depends on your USDA hardiness zone. Generally, early spring after the last frost is best for most regions. In warmer zones (8-13), fall and winter gardening can be highly productive. Our calculator adjusts recommendations based on your specific zone and season selection.
Drip irrigation is highly recommended for water efficiency, delivering water directly to plant roots and reducing evaporation. It can save 30-50% of water compared to sprinklers and helps prevent fungal diseases by keeping foliage dry. For small gardens, manual watering can be sufficient, but drip systems become increasingly valuable as garden size increases.
