There is quite a bit to learn if your goal is to have a healthy and wonderful garden. Cultivating a garden is time consuming, but it is also rewarding. The following article will provide you with advice to make horticulture entertaining.

Take the proper approach to laying sod. Get your soil ready before you lay the sod. Pull any weeds that you see, and work to break up the soil so that it is a fine tilth. Compact the soil gently but firmly to be certain that it is indeed flat. The soil should always receive adequate moisture. Lay the sod in rows, and make sure the joints do not overlap. Compact the sod down so you form a flat and even surface, then fill in any crevices within the sod by using some soil. Water the sod for two weeks and then you can safely walk on it as it will have had time to properly root.

Tough Leaves

Plant perennials that are slug-proof. If slugs or snails find their favorite perennials in your garden, they’ll snack all night. When you wake up in the morning, there will be very little left of your plants. Certain perennials that don’t have tough leaves are especially tasty to snails and slugs. There are, however, certain types of perennials that slugs and snails hate. Most of these varieties either have tough leaves or taste unappealing. Achillea, euphorbia, helleborus, heuchera and campanula are good choices that slugs don’t like.

Beginning your garden with healthy soil is your first defense against pests! Healthy plants are naturally more resilient against pests and disease. For healthy plants, start with healthy soil that is properly amended and free of chemicals in order to avoid salt accumulation.

TIP! A good way to ensure that your seeds sprout effectively is to start them in smaller pots and then transplant them once they reach the seedling stage. By allowing them to sprout first, you are increasing the odds of a seedling reaching maturity.

When winter comes, you can save a few plants by transferring them inside the house. You may want to save the most beautiful or expensive ones. When you dig up the plant, carefully avoid the roots then place it in a container.

Pull all the weeds in your garden. Weeds can turn a beautiful garden into an eyesore. A great way to get rid of them is to use white vinegar. White vinegar can not only kill the weeds, it’s also a non-toxic spray that won’t harm pets or people. Keep a solution of vinegar diluted with water on hand to spray on weeds.

If you want your garden full of flowers spring through summer, plant bulbs. Bulbs are generally very simple to grow and hearty, as well; they will continue to grow for years. If you choose your plants carefully, you could have flowers in blossom from the first weeks of spring to the end of the summer.

TIP! Your tool handles can double as measuring sticks. You can convert any large handle tool, such as a hoe, shovel, or rake into a measuring tool.

Fall edibles are a wonderful addition to your garden. Rather than using clay pots or planters for your lettuce and kale, plant them in a pumpkin! To use the pumpkin as a planter, it is important to prevent it from rotting. To do this, you simply spray the entire inside and any edges with a gardening spray called Wilt-Pruf. This is done after you’ve opened the pumpkin at the top and removed the insides. When this is finished, you are now ready to plant.

Knee Pads

A set of knee pads are a life saver if you’re an avid gardener and a lot of your plants sit close to the ground. Kneeling on the ground as you garden will eventually cause serious discomfort for your knees. With good knee pads, you can stay in the garden longer, and more comfortably.

TIP! It’s sometimes possible to save certain plants from winter cold by bringing them inside. Maybe you’d like to save the most expensive plants you have or the most resistant.

With these tips, you’re better equipped to grow the most beautiful garden you can imagine. In learning how to create your dream garden, you’ll also be growing as a person. That’s because learning how to nurture your plants will not only help you reach the goal of having a great garden, but it will help you learn to nurture yourself.
