Pizza nights will be better than ever with a Pizza Garden at your disposal. Growing a pizza garden is a fun approach to gardening. It’s a great way to get kids outdoors and excited about eating vegetables.
Unfortunately, the mozzarella is not included, but you can fill the garden with plenty of fresh herbs and vegetables that are essential for making delicious homemade pizzas.
Before you start digging in the dirt, you must plan out your pizza plot. What types of vegetables and herbs do you want to include?
Of course, what toppings you put on your pizza is a personal choice, but here are some common ingredients you might want to incorporate: tomatoes, onions, spinach, arugula, bell pepper, basil, and oregano.
Once your list is set, choose a location for your pizza garden that receives plenty of sunlight and offers adequate soil drainage. If you’re planting the garden in the ground, you’ll have to do a bit of prep work.
The first step is to clear your desired area of debris. Remove any weeds or rocks that will inhibit your garden’s growth.
Then, till the soil and add organic matter. By adding organic matter like compost, your soil will become more fertile, and the plants will receive more nutrients.
Next, make sure the surface of the soil is level. When the garden bed is level, the water will be distributed more evenly, making it easier to care for the garden and leading to steady growth of the plants.
Once the bed is ready, decide where you want each plant to go. Take the space requirements and growth habits of the plants into consideration when making your decisions.

You could also sort by color for an aesthetically pleasing garden. For instance, pair the red bell peppers with the tomatoes in one section and put the green ingredients in another.
Additionally, a pizza garden can be segmented like a round pizza cut into slices. Use some rope to create the circular shape, then divide the circle into pizza slices. It’s up to you what plants you want to place in each section.
Finally, toss the seeds into the ground and water them thoroughly. After it has been established, your pizza garden will need about an inch or two of water each week. The soil should be well-draining and stay moist at all times. The best time to water is in the morning before the sun is high in the sky.
Every so often, apply a fertilizer to aid in the garden’s growth. The fertilizer should be three percent nitrogen, four percent phosphorous, and four percent potassium.
One last word of advice–erect stakes to give your plants support. Some of them can grow to be pretty tall and will need the stakes to keep them upright. The use of stakes will improve their air circulation, provide them with more sunlight, and make them easier to gather come harvest time!
