It is even more than a hobby for the green thumbs! It can bring you tranquility, peace, and a great appreciation for life. The effects can be profound if you’re good at it.
The handles on your horticulture tools can be used as a convenient measuring instrument. Tools with long handles, such as rakes, shovels or hoes can work as great measuring sticks. Lay the handles onto the floor and place a measuring tape beside them. Label the distances with a permanent marker. Now when you go to work in the garden, you will have a ruler that is large at your fingertips!
Slug-proof your garden with smart perennial choices. Slugs and snails will quickly destroy your garden if you let them. Young plants with susceptible leaves are favorite meals for slugs, including those with smoother or thinner leaves. Certain perennials are unappetizing to slugs and snails, especially those with tough, hairy leaves or an unappetizing taste. Achillea, euphorbia, helleborus, heuchera and campanula are good choices that slugs don’t like.
Pre-soak your seeds through the night in a dark area. Drop some seeds into a small glass or other container, and fill it with water. This will give your seeds a healthy head start in the growth process. This way, the seeds you have planted will have some chance of growing.
If you’re growing veggies in the garden, they need to be in a spot that lets them get about six hours of sun daily. Pretty much any vegetable you plant in your garden requires sunshine for this duration. It allows them to grow in the proper manner and also much faster. This also rings true for some of the flowers.
Boiling away unwanted weeds is an odd, but productive method used in many gardens. Boiling water is an excellent, organic substance for use against weeds. Although this method is organic, it does pose a danger to your plants. Boiling water kills weeds by destroying their roots. Weeds won’t be able to survive, never mind grow, with damaged weeds.
When growing a vegetable garden it can be hard to control pests. One major benefit of growing your own produce is knowing that they haven’t been treated with pesticides and other harsh chemicals. One way to keep pests at bay is to remain diligent about your garden. By noticing them at an early stage, you can simply pluck them away from your plants with your fingers.
Cooled water left over from steaming vegetables can be fed to them as a little snack. To add acidity to the soil of your rhododendrons and gardenias, use coffee or tea grounds. Herbal chamomile tea is an effective, affordable treatment for fighting fungi.
Spray fragrances such as old perfume or aftershave on grass around your garden to help keep your dog away from the plants. Your dog will be less attracted to your garden when these scents overpower compost scents and other smells dogs like.
Put an organic material, such as mulch two or three inches deep, in your flower beds. By doing this, you can lock in moisture, discourage weed growth, and nourish your plants. A layer of mulch also creates a more attractive appearance.
Plastic bags can be kept on hand and reused to slip over your dirty gardening shoes. You will save time and be back in the garden much more quickly by doing this.
Coffee Grounds
Coffee grounds work great mixed in with your soil. They contain nitrogenous nutrients which are essential to plant growth. Plants need nitrogen in order to thrive, so give it a natural source with coffee grounds, then watch everything come to life much more quickly.
