How to maintain an indoor vegetable garden ?


There’s no need to opt for a state-of-the-art 3.0 connected vegetable garden with LED lights, phone apps and technologies that water the plants according to their needs! Indeed, it’s still easy to make an indoor vegetable garden the old fashioned way with your little hands. The gardener will just have to respect some basic gardening rules and do a minimal maintenance (watering, nutrient supply…).

Choose the ideal pierced container for your seedlings: tray, planter, pot (deep if necessary)
Then put clay balls at the bottom of the planters, containers and pots to promote plant drainage.
In addition, find a bright, sunny and airy spot for the good growth of your plants.
Fortunately, you won’t need pesticides and other chemical treatments. Unwanted pests are less interested in the indoor vegetable garden than the outdoor one. Plus, you’ll see fewer weeds, so you won’t have to bother with weeding!


For the rest, it’s up to you to manage the water and organic fertilizer needs. Indoors, you can find many free fertilizers to pick up in the kitchen: eggshells, coffee grounds, banana peel, etc.
