What's the best way to improve the growth of vegetables?
What's the first thing to consider? Nutrients? Fertilizers? Something else?
I'm asking because I have just started cultivating vegetables in my garden, and I'm seeking to improve my yields.

It depends on the specific crop. Honestly. Different vegetables, like different animals, have different "diets". Google your specific crop and see what it needs in terms of specific minerals and pH balance.

Prep up the lab, nerd.
I can't provide any tips, except pointing you to the farming and gardening general in /out/.
You should find a lot of documentation and hopefully feedback. Cheers
Love it! Reminds me of NASA.

That's pipework. Totally different.
Like comparing a pencil drawing to a fresco painting.

CO2. It's what plants crave.
Seriously, keep burning them fossil fuels and plant life will thrive. I don't know why nobody thought of it before

I'm always sure to put eggshells in my mulch. Tomatoes love calcium.

blood is an excellent fertilizer, probably the best.
soil health is tantamount.
Depends on what you're growing and what the soil is like where you live.
For instance, ashes are good for Tomatoes, high in acid, but not far from where my grandma lived, people would try that shit in the shadow of the local Power Plant, adding more acid to the soil that was pelted with acid rain.
Grab some gardening books, some old issues of Mother Earth News, and learn the Ph content of your garden.
In the meantime, start a compost bin.

fucking disgusting
Blast them with heavy metal
Do research on what the plants you have need. Start a compost pile as well

Just put them in the ground niggar, learn as you grow, most stuff is easy to grow, feed plants during fruiting period, water regularly, shade those that don't like too much sun, net (fine mesh net) brassicas to keep birds and white cabbage fly off, grow carrots at least a foot off the ground to keep carrot fly off, stock up on slug pellets, build a compost corner to put all your meat free and non cooked scraps in, add grass cuttings, leafs, horse shit/straw if you can get it. Read up about blight - a serious tomato and potato killer, don't sow too much in one go, you end up with too much at the same time unless you are already prepared to store/preserve in bulk. There's a lot to learn but don't worry about it, just plant and learn as you go
If you are an /out/ fag like me, you could catch sucker fish with worms or other rough fish that are in abundance. If you bury a dead fish about a foot and a half away from pumkins/squash, they will grow around 1.5 times better in my experience. I know that squash/pumpkins grow bigger with more calcium. Study crop rotation. Starting plants indoors before growing season can help. Tilling the soil nice and deep is good for root crops. Grain crop is improved by not fertilizing it, but rather planting it behind other crops in a crop rotation.

>Think its conduit.
Fucking impressive.
>Zoom in and see its wire.
Jesus christ, does this pass for acceptable in yuropoorland? Fuck man who takes romex straight out of the panel onto the damn wall??
That's terrible for wire too. Shit son.

Dirt is everything. Rototill that shit and then mound it into raised beds, 2 foot wide, 1 foot high, any number of feet long, and compact the sides with the back of the shovel. Top-dress it with finished compost, fish meal, manure, seaweed, and mycorrhizae or fresh mushrooms. If you're poor as hell, you'll get good yields with rotting fish and piss. Seriously. And... well... huge amounts of good homemade compost and well-rotted manure usually help.

Check out Brett Markham's Self Sufficiency on 1/4 acre. Also note you can get compost ingredients from the backs of organic food stores, carpenters (sawdust), Starbucks (coffee grounds), and barbershops (non-dyed human hair). And consider the Brazilian method of setting fires in rows on a tilled field, then smothering them in the dirt to create activated charcoal and working that into the dirt. Finally consider companion planting.

Oh one more thing: BUY GOOD SEEDS BUY GOOD SEEDS BUY GOOD SEEDS ARGH most seed companies are shit. I like www.nativeseeds.org and www.jungseed.com
Number one, get good seeds, because that other guy said it little it was very important so I'm going to pretend it was also my advice.
Number 2 it's the balance of all the things, temperature, pH, co2, nutrients, light levels. It's not about giving more of one, it's making sure they are all in line with each other brother man.

Ive been gardening since I could crawl with my father and if theres only one piece of knowledge that I could convey its the importance of soil health.
No till is not a meme. And mulch is the single best thing you can do for your garden. It keeps the soil cool and moist, fosters micro biological activity from bacteria and fungi, and harbors detritivores and insects.
Even on the hottest days in the middle of the deepest droughts my garden beds don't need even half the amount of watering as my neighbors tilled garden. My plants wilt less and display less signs of heat stress, and grow faster and larger.
