How do you grow a good bean plant?
Churn up the soil in the spring. Add lots of compost and fertilizer (Osmocote, or miracle gro) and re-till the soil. Plant them in an area that receives at least 6 hours of sunlight a day. Plant the seeds or small plants in the spring when danger of frost is past. Erect a 'Beanstalk' from lattice, sticks, or caging wire. Water them every other day that it doesn't rain, or when the soil looks dry.
What is the best time of day to fertilize flower gardens?
As usual, here's an indirect answer; It all depends on the type of fert you're using. A good idea is to apply lots of mushroom manure, or rich compost in the fall and churn(till) it in, that way it can break down and enrich the soil over winter. You can mix in any typical fertilizer a few weeks before you plant in the spring. You can also mix in something like Osmocote which will release nutrients all season at a timed pace, meaning Osmocote is a time-release fert. Once you apply it (mixed in to the soil well), it will FEED your plants all season. A caveat about fert's, be careful not to apply too much, more isn't always better, you can BURN the plants by overfeeding, and if too many fert granules contact the plant's roots, that can also BURN a plant. Just follow the directions on the box, and you'll be fine... Good Luck & Happy Gardening, Kevlar; if this answer helps, please 'Recommend Contributor'
How much sunlight does basil need to grow?
Basil likes a moist, semi fertile, tilled soil. Garden compost works well when planting out doors mix in with your regular garden soil. If you don't have access to compost a slow acting vegetable granular fertilizer works well like Osmocote Vegetable and Bedding Slow Release Food 14-14-14 (nitrogen - phosphorus - potassium). Over fertilizing Basil will cause excessive foliage and reduce the flavor. Basil is a light feeder once when planted and about 1 inch of water a week should be good.

Why do prayer plant leaves curl and turn brown?
Prayer plants are a tropical plant and require more humidity than found in most homes. Some ways to overcome this include: keep your plant out of direct sunlight, keep away from drafts (especially from forced-hot air furnaces), and increase the moisture in the air directly around your plant. One of the best ways to increase the local humidity around your plant is to have the pot on a tray of gravel and keep the gravel moist. Keep the base of the pot above the water-line of the gravel, and water your prayer plant (in a pot with drainage) regularly. You can mist the leaves with a sprayer, but the humidity from moist gravel is more consistent and will not leave water-spots on the leaves like tap water mist might. A good soil, like African violet soil, will help your prayer plant thrive, and a slow-release fertilizer, like Osmocote, is better than a liquid fertilizer.
Which type of soil makes plans grow taller?
This is for what makes plants grow taller. All plants have a "Mature" height. This is the maximum height a plant will reach under ideal growing conditions. A plant will grow tall if it is looking for light, unfortunately this is not desirable as the plant will eventually outgrow itself and become too weak to support itself. To make a plant grow to its maximum height, a good growing medium is essential. Different plants need different mixtures, for ex. a succulent, like a cactus, or aloe vera, need loomy soil which has a lot of sand in it. For most ornamental type plants, a good " Container Mix" is recommended. This consists of peat moss, compost, top soil, and is rich in nutrients. For outdoor plants I will dig a hole twice the size of the root ball, or the plants pot size and backfill (filling the hole until it is the size of the plant's pot) with a good container mix (you can make your own with the above-mentioned components). I will then mix the right amount (according to manufacturer's directions) Osmocote into this soil. Osmocote is a good time-release, pelletized fertilizer. Daily watering is also essential, provided it isn't raining too much where you are. If you want tall plants, then you need to buy tall plants. When buying shrubs and outdoor ornamentals, this info is on the plant's tag. DO NOT PLANT YOUR PLANTS CLOSER THAN IS RECOMMENDED ON THE TAG People often to this to "Fill in" an area. A lot of so-called professionals will do this also. After a couple of years, you will have a big mess on your hands. Be patient and plant according to the supplier's tag. Even if you plant is only 10" wide, and 12" high, it will reach its "mature" size which could be 10 feet wide x 12 feet tall in 4 -10 years depending on the plant. I would recommend you purchase a good gardener's book. Buy one that is sturdy as you will take it outside with you as I have with mine. Reader's Digest makes a good one.
