Digging in hard clay soil is made even more difficult because it sticks to the shovel. To ease the digging, apply some car wax or floor wax to the head of the shovel and buff. The wax prevents the clay from sticking to the shovel, and stops rust from forming.
Get a slug-proof variety of perennials. Slugs and snails can decimate a plant in one night. These pests gravitate to young perennials with smooth, tender, thin leaves. Some varieties of perennials are not preferred by snails and slugs, particularly perennials that have hairy, tough leaves or a taste that isn’t appetizing. Examples of these include euphorbia, hellebourus and achillea. Others you may want to consider are campanula and heuchera.
Transfer your favorite plants inside so they survive the winter. Choose the plants that are most likely to survive. Dig carefully around the roots, then transfer the plant into a pot.
Before you begin to plant your garden you will need to check the soil. There are soil testing services that can analyze a garden’s soil content for a small charge. With those results, it’s then possible to refine and supplement the soil to make it as fertile as possible. A Cooperative Extension office can provide you with this service, saving you learning on your own by trial and error.
Take the time to remove weeds. Weeds and gardens do not mix; they will destroy your garden. To help you do this, you may want to consider using white vinegar. The acidity of the vinegar is harmful to most plants. Mix white vinegar and water into a spray bottle instead of pulling the weeds by hand.
Bulbs planted in the spring can flower all the way into summer. Most bulbs are extremely hearty and grow easily. They also come back year after year. The types of bulbs you use will determine the time of year your flowers will bloom, giving you the pleasure of blooms from spring to summer, if you plant them right.
Mint Leaves
Do you want fresh mint leaves without having to worry about them growing too quickly? Instead of planting mint in your garden, keep it in a large container or pot to prevent it from spreading. If you would like the mint leaves to still be in the ground, simply plant the container, and the leaves will stay within the boundaries of the pot.
A quality garden must be grown from seeds. When planting a garden, the best way is to initially start with seeds. Plastics from nurseries aren’t recycled often, which causes them to go into landfills; so try starting with seeds, or buying from organic nurseries.
Make sure your pesticides are focused on only what you’re trying to kill. If your pesticide has too wide a range of targets, it can kill off useful insects that fight off other pests. The bugs you need are often more fragile than the ones you don’t: a pesticide could actually kill the beneficial insects while leaving the pests unaffected. In the end, you may resort to using even more pesticides in order to erase the problem.
Choose plants that will provide color in autumn. This does not have to be so. When it comes to brightly colored foliage, fall is an amazing time of year. There are a number of trees that provide exuberant displays of color, such as Dogwood, Beech and Maple. There are practically as many types of shrubs chosen for their fall colors are there are gardeners! Barberry, hydrangea and cotoneaster are particularly popular choices.
Select a specific type of plant to be the focal point of your garden. A solid focal point will draw peoples attention to your garden, leaving them to admire your unique design. Frequently, it will be a plant that’s very different from others in the neighborhood.
Add some heather plants to your garden, to attract good insects. Heather is quite alluring to bees; when spring comes along, it provides the bees with a source of nectar early. Heather doesn’t usually require a lot of tending, so spiders, ground beetles and other good bugs like to call it home. With this in mind make sure you wear some gloves when you are working with the heather.
Mixing a variety of plants at different heights is how you can make a very interesting English garden. If you use plants that grow vertically at the same rate, you will end up with some flat, boring, uniform looking beds.
