Taking Care of a
Vegetable Garden
WHAT SHOULD WE DO?

Although each kind of vegetable plant has its own needs and

techniques to grow healthy and useful, there are basic steps to

take care of any kind of vegetable. These are some things to

keep in mind.
How should

we take care

of our garden

and plants?
 WATERING

Water the vegetable plant

every day.

Let's Grow!

PLOWING/TILLING APPLYING

THE SOIL FERTILIZER

Till the soil when it's Put the fertilizer before,

damp. during, and after planting.

What are the

different ways

of pest

control?

Different
Ways of Pest
Control
Pest control and the infestation can be done

naturally.
Intercropping WHAT IS IT?
It is planting two or more crops on

farmland. This can prevent pests and

insects from attacking your plants.

ROW INTERCROPPING
fo sepyT

involves two or more crops in the same field at the

same time with one or more of the crop grown in a

distinct row arrangement.

 MIXED
gnipporcretnI INTERCROPPING
It is growing two or more

crops at the same time with

no distinct row
fo sepyT

arrangement. This type of

intercropping can be

suitable for grass-legume

intercropping in pastures.
gnipporcretnI

STRIP INTERCROPPING
fo sepyT

Is growing two or more crops simultaneously in

different strips wide enough to permit independent

cultivation but narrow enough for the crops to

interact.
 RELAY
INTERCROPPING
is growing two or more
gnipporcretnI
crops at the same time

during part of each life

cycle. A second crop is

fo sepyT

planted after the first crop

has reached its

reproductive stage but

before it is ready for

harvest.

and their

Where there are plants, there will also be pests

that will destroy them.

Using
Organic
Fertilizer
Organic Fertilizers are fertilizers derived from

biodegradable matter and animal manure such as

compost and crop residues.

IT MAKES THE SOIL RICH AND CAPABLE OF

PRODUCING ABUNDANT HARVEST

IT IMPROVES THE STRUCTURE OF THE SOIL

AND INCREASES ITS ABILITY TO HOLD

WATER AND NUTRIENTS

Importance of
Using Organic
THERE'S LITTLE TO NO RISK OF TOXIC

BUILDUP OF CHEMICALS AND SALTS THAT

Fertilizer
CAN BE DEADLY TO PLANTS.
IT IS SUSTAINABLE AND

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY.

IT REDUCES THE USE OF CHEMICAL

FERTILIZERS AND PESTICIDES.

Fertilizer
 START WITH THE RIGHT CONTAINER FOR

MAKING ORGANIC FERTILIZER.

MAKE SURE THAT THE ANIMAL WASTE YOU WILL

USE CAME FROM A REPUTABLE SOURCE AND

SHOULD BE COMPOSTED FOR UP TO SIX

COMPOSTING
rezilitreF

It is an organic matter (plant or animal residue) that

has been rotten down by the action of bacteria

and other organisms over a period of time.

PIT COMPOSTING
rezilitreF

Compost is usually made and done in a large area

far from houses. The compost is processed in a

dugged pit.

BASKET COMPOSTING
rezilitreF

Compost is usually made and done in containers or

baskets. It is suitable if there is no large area for pit

composting.
