Photosynthesis	The process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy (sugars), using carbon dioxide and water.
Quarantine (plants)	Isolating new or sick plants to prevent spread of pests or disease to healthy garden plants.
Root Bound	A condition where plant roots have filled and tangled inside a container, restricting growth and requiring repotting.
Soil Aggregate	Clusters of soil particles held together, improving aeration, drainage, and water retention.
Transpiration	The loss of water vapor from plant leaves, which creates upward movement of water from roots.
Uniformity	Consistency in planting depth, spacing, and care practices to ensure similar growth rates and harvest timing.
Vermiculture	The use of worms (typically red wigglers) to compost organic waste into nutrient‑rich castings for soil improvement.
Water Potential	The tendency of water to move from one area to another, influencing how plants absorb water from the soil.
Zone of Maturation	The part of the root where cells have differentiated and absorb water and nutrients most actively.
