Gardening
“This greenhouse sounds amazing, but I kill every plant that is brought to my house. I wasn’t gifted a green thumb.”Â
At Home Harvest, we understand that gardening isn’t a matter of luck. It requires diligence and determination to learn all the tricks and techniques associated with being a successful gardener. With that in mind, we offer two different services to help fulfill all of our client’s needs.Â
We offer a subscription service where we send you everything you will need to be successful.
Or
Our Gardening Services where we stop by bi-weekly to ensure you are on your way to a successful harvest. That’s right, we do all the work you receive all of the yields! You don’t lift a finger.
our Gardening Services And How it Works
You tell us what you want to grow from the list of 80+ edible plants on this page. We plant them and check in periodically to make sure all is well. We will monitor all systems in the greenhouse, make adjustments as needed, manage compost, maintain soil health, prevent pests, harvest, and reseed immediately to maximize yield. You do not have to do anything but enjoy your new Backyard to Table lifestyle.
Seeding
This is where it all begins. Proper seeding technique is a large portion of the battle that is growing plants! Whether it's making sure proper depth is achieved, or proper spacing to ensure overcrowding doesn't stunt growth, our gardeners are trained to ensure success
Climate Control
Gardeners will check your greenhouse's internal temperature upon arrival, this is to help ensure its climate is at the appropriate level for optimum growth. This will also include manually running the sprinklers every time we visit, as there is nothing worse for plants than drought.
Inspect Plants
There is a myriad of afflictions that can have adverse effects on your plants (insects, diseases, and deficiencies to name a few). In order to make sure we are preventing and fighting any that may occur we visual inspect each plant at length to ensure there aren’t any damaged plants jeopardizing your yields
Removal of Diseased Plants
As previously mentioned sometimes diseases can affect your plants, should these problems arise we will remove affected plants and replant new ones to maximize yield. Also, some plants can only produce yield once and then die off to allow a new generation to continue, we always replace plants that have helped us provide you a great service
Maintain Soil Health
There are many different factors that go into growing plants. One major, often overlooked variable is soil health. In order to help get ahead of nutrient draining of your soil, we always make sure to replace a percentage of your soil and place fresh compost in your beds to help add those essential minerals.
Harvest
The whole reason we do what we do. Whenever a plant is ready to be harvested we want to make sure we get all of that amazing yield to you as soon as possible!
Replant
As soon as we harvest, we want to reset the clock to yield. To achieve this we till the area by hand, add fresh soil and compost, then reseed to start the cycle once again!
Subscription? How It Works?
Want to do it on your own? Hey, that is half the fun! If you just have us send you seeds and supplies, don’t think you are on your own. Feel free to call anytime and we will help address any issues you are facing free of charge, we want you to get the most out of your green house!
Seeds
We like to start all of our clients with their best foot forward, and in order to make this possible we source all of our seeds from a variety of small businesses.
Tools
Not only does a successful harvest require a vast knowledge of plants and how to make them thrive. It also requires having the proper tools, we send out the equipment required when you subscribe.
Composting Worms
Soil Health is crucial to a successful harvest! Included in your greenhouse is a composter that we will fill with worms for you. You just need to add the necessary scraps to ensure they have a food source and in return, you get nutrient-rich compost to help maximize your yield.
Pots
When it comes to growing plants, you have to understand that they are doing exactly that. Growing! We make sure to send all of the necessary pot sizes to take your plants from seedling to harvest.
