Each vegetable crop grows best in its own range of temperatures. The optimal temperature range for peppers and eggplants, for example, is 70Â° to 85Â°F; pollination will not occur if the night temperature falls below 55Â°F, and blossoms may fall if the temperature rises above 85Â°F.ach vegetable crop grows best in its own range of temperatures.

Slab Foundations. The two basic types of slab foundations are the monolith and the stem wall. Monolithic foundations are poured as a single form, with the outside edge, about the width of the wall, being 10 to 12 inches deep and the center of the slab typically 4 to 6 inches deep. A stem wall foundation is poured in multiple parts.
Slab vs. Pier and Beam. Slab-on-grade foundations are constructed with reinforced concrete and are usually shallow, quickly built, and inexpensive. For a builder that doesn't have to live in the homes that he builds, slab foundations are a dream. Slab foundations are used with homes that do not have basements.
