Organic Gardening Tips That Are Fun And Easy
Does the grass always look greener on the reverse side? Maybe you worry that your neighbor knows the secret to a beautiful garden, and you don't. The truth is that there is not any horticulture "secret". Once you discover some basic rules to follow, you will be ready to plant your own garden. Information about horticulture is available online, in books and in magazines created for garden enthusiasts. Shoveling soil that is mostly clay can be difficult because of the hardness of the soil, and because it sticks to the shovel. Take the hard work out of using a shovel in clay soil by rubbing an easy coat of car or floor wax over the surface with a clean cloth and buff the outer lining. The clay will slide off of its surface and it will prevent rust. Healthy soil will be your best defense against the pests that can invade your garden. The hearty plants that will grow in a garden with rich soil can resist the bugs and diseases that weak plants can't withstand. Healthy, rich soil with fewer chemicals will heighten the yield of your plants, and reduce accumulated salts. Make sure your soil is healthy enough before you start planting anything. A soil analysis is inexpensive and can be used to work out which nutrients should be added to provide a healthy garden environment. The cost of the analysis will be easily offset by the benefits of a healthy and vibrant crop. Vegetables are softer in the heat of the hottest part of the day even gently picking them at that time may damage them. When you remove the produce from the plant, use shears or a knife to slice them from the vine without twisting, as this can damage the plant. Try to keep your plants aerated and dry, every day. Plant moisture is a big attraction to both parasites and plant diseases. One parasite you have to watch out for in particular is fungi. It is possible to control fungi by using fungicide sprays. However, these sprays should be used before issues become apparent. As you can see, the suggestions here are easy to follow and rather simple to implement. Put the knowledge you have just learned to good use by gardening in a creative way. Monitor the response of your plants when you apply these tips. If your thumb ends up being brown rather than green, take corrective action. While it could take time, with patience your beautiful garden will be admired by the whole neighborhood.
