I'm planning to start a small kitchen garden in my yard for personal consumption, i plan on growing vegetables, herbs and spices, in particular:
Vegetables:
Tomatoes
Cucumbers
Eggplants
Bell peppers
Potatoes
Carrots
Onions
Leeks
Herbs and spices:
Rosemary
Basil
Salvia
Garlic
Various spicy peppers
I'm in the nothern hemisphere and with temperate climate.
I'm looking for advices in pest control and fertilization or recommendations on cultivation methods and what other stuff should i grow, also discuss farming and agriculture in general.
Whats your budget? I used to work with farmers in shithole countries trying to help them to stop being retarded. The best thing you can do is build a greenhouse with an automatic electric or gravity fed aquaponics system. A closed environment can virtually eliminate the risks of pests and diseases if you practice good biosecurity procedures. If money is no issue go full hydroponics with co2 HID lamps and climate control like top shelf weed farmers do. If you have no money at all, then mix your urine with water at a 1 to 10 ratio to water your plants. If you really want to you can also dry out your feces and use that as fertilizer. We wasted millions of US taxpayer dollars buying shitskins special toilets exactly for the purposes of saving their peepee and poopoo for agriculture so they could raise 16 more retarded shitskin kids.
>>13886 Consider raised beds. If you live in a place with lots of good sized flat stones, you can build them out of stone. Otherwise, cedar wood is good. Cedar naturally contains oils that repel insects. You definitely don't want to use treated lumber; it's not as bad as it used to be (they used to use arsenic), but they still use things you probably don't want leeching into your soil and your plants.
Some people recommend a method of gardening commonly called square foot gardening. You can look it up. You use raised beds (usually) and a combination of perlite (or vermiculite), peat moss, and organic compost or manure as your soil.
Depending on how cold it gets in your area in the winter, you might want to plant perennials directly in the ground instead of a raised bed. Doesn't matter for annuals or root vegetables, of course.
Start a compost pile if you haven't already. Read up on what's good (and not) to put in them, and how to tend to them (mostly turning them over periodically and monitoring moisture).
Anti-pest measures will depend largely on the specific pests you end up facing. There's also weeds and plant illnesses you'll need to consider. Healthy plants have some of their own mechanisms to fight off invaders, so pay mind to what plants need for optimum health, including level of sun, soil drainage, and soil pH. Lots of critters will avoid things like garlic and the spicy peppers you plan to plant, but even they can still be susceptible to molds and blights and the like.
>>13887 >Whats your budget?
Let's say equivalent of 250$, i would prefer to keep it cheap.
>The best thing you can do is build a greenhouse
Can you do that for cheap, with some transparent plastic and a simple metallic structure?
>hydroponics
>aquaponics
Tech is cool, but i prefer to keep it simple.
>We wasted millions of US taxpayer dollars buying shitskins special toilets exactly for the purposes of saving their peepee and poopoo
what the fuck?
>>13890 >Consider raised beds.
>cedar wood
I think i might go with this, is stuff like onions, potatos and carrots fine in raised beds?
>Start a compost pile if you haven't already.
I have one, i put grass and foliage in it, mostly green waste. Is it good?
>officinalis or divinorum?
Officinalis, this is all stuff for cooking.
Where i live divinorum is illegal sadly, maybe i'll make a secret garden someday.
You have to put a hose on top of the tube, pumping water up and then let gravity do the job. Bellow the tube, you put a resevoir with water and nutrients and then the process repeats itself circularly.

>greenhouse
If you're not doing it inside home, you definetly need a greenhouse in the winter. It will not be very cheap, though. See:

>>13947 I've seen half-ape half-asian jungle creatures using cheap greenhouse technology but it's a little difficult to explain...
First they make a wide cylinder by bending sheet metal into a circle and I guess welding the ends together. This they bury a little way into the ground so it doesn't move. Then they fill the bottom half with rocks or broken glass bottles followed by layers of rice straw and/or coconut husks. These layers allow water to drain out easily and I guess also prevent pests and disease from coming up into the greenhouse. In the top half they put dirt mixed well with dried feces and other fertilizers like banana peels. Over the top of this garden bed they have a wire dome over which semi-transparent plastic is stretched. I'm not sure how they make it but they are literally retarded so it can't be that hard. From the top down the wire of the dome would look like (|). To open the dome they lift one side ( up to the stationary center wire | allowing the plastic to fold on itself. Not sure if that's understandable but idk how else to explain it and I don't think I would have a picture of something like that. One thing to note is that they keep lots of extra plastic to replace their domes with since that needed to be done fairly regularly for reasons idk.
Another gardening hack used by jungle shitskins is to grow in old rice sacks. A porous plastic or cloth sack half filled with dirt allows water to drain easily while allowing oxygen in. I imagine the main benefit of this method is the ability to move your plants around in and out of sunlight or rain. It would also be easy to transplant them somewhere if they grow too big for the sack.
>>13947 >I think i might go with this, is stuff like onions, potatos and carrots fine in raised beds?
Yes, those will grow well in raised beds. In fact, potatoes (at least) can even grow in compost piles. That happened to my sister. She composted some potato scraps, and later on noticed a "weed" was growing in her compost pile. Pulled it up, and it was actually a bunch of baby potatoes. lol
>I have one, i put grass and foliage in it, mostly green waste. Is it good?
Yeah, just make sure you don't compost anything poisonous. A lot of common plants and flowers are actually poisonous. Like foxglove.
>Officinalis, this is all stuff for cooking.
I understand. They made divinorum illegal where I am, too.
I also forgot to mention last time that you might consider growing some tobacco. It makes a great natural insecticide. You can look up info on how to utilize it for that.
