Start your garden, where he received the maximum amount of sun and plant your rows from NE to OS. It is also important to water your garden early in the morning between 6 and 10 hours. The willingness to allow absorption of water right and water left in the leaves evaporates before the midday heat. Irrigation in the middle of the day is not recommended because the water will evaporate before has an opportunity to actually take on (or will have to water more to get the same effect). The leaves of plants can also burn as the water heats the leaves. Never, never Water your garden at night, unless you want a tough battle with the evil fungus! Let me explain. When the water at night is cooler and dark. The soil absorbs water wells, however, the return will suck a lot, and then leaves the water garden in the leaves and puddles (even small) around the stems. There is no sun to evaporate excess gently. Water and air can carry fungus spores naturally. The water in the leaves and stems around acts as a fertilizer for growing fungus and bad day another. Before you know you have black spots on your tomato and pepper and curling leaves on your cucumbers!
Ok, once you've chosen your location, field ready, and put their plants in rows, use your recycled newspaper as an anti-weed between the rows. Once the paper is wet, no weeds can enter. Not very pretty, I like and give a layer of mulch. Newspaper and mulch also have a dual purpose … help to retain moisture around plants. Just try to keep away from plant stems.

In fact, a lot of fun to watch in the dark, dancing in the moonlight.
If you find yourself with a garden invasion of bad bugs, there are some easy tips. If you see only a few insects, remove, put in a garbage bag and discard. If you has more than a few, a general solution of soap and water is sufficient. Using recycled bath or dishwasher works very well. It also saves precious water. If your garden is too big for the bucket of water in your sink or tub, pour a little soap liquid soap in a spray bottle and spray the garden. A good soak of the plants is what you want.

After all, organic vegetables, you will be more and more the next planting season are looking for these same nutrients.
