Consider planting slug-proof perennials. It is alarming to see how quickly slugs, and their cousin snails, can annihilate a plant. These garden vermin prefer plants with tender, herbaceous stems and leaves, particularly seedlings and young plants. Perennials that are unappetizing in taste, or that have hardened and hairy leaves, are not a favorite of slugs or snails. Examples of these slug-proof plant varieties include achillea, euphorbia, and helleborus, to name a few.
Flower Beds
Brighten up your flower beds with annuals and biennials. These fast growth plants make flower beds vibrant, and they let you alter the appearance seasonally and annually. If there are gaps between the perennials and shrubs you have planted in a sunlit area, try filling those gaps with annuals and biennials. Notable collections include sunflower, marigold, hollyhock, rudbeckia, cosmos, and petunia.
Be sure to do some weeding on a regular basis. Weeds can truly ruin a good garden. You might want to think about using white vinegar to do this. White vinegar can not only kill the weeds, it’s also a non-toxic spray that won’t harm pets or people. By placing a white vinegar solution in a spray bottle, you can spray the weeds away instead of having to pull them out manually.
Soak your seeds in a dark spot during the overnight hours. Put some seeds (a small amount) in a container that isn’t too large for the plant you’ll be growing. Fill that container with water, almost to the top. The water will hydrate the sends, giving them a head start once you plant them. The seeds will most likely survive and mature this way.
Try growing some cat grass or wheat grass in the vicinity of the plants that your cat likes to eat. It may also work to add citrus peelings or mothballs to the soil of the plants, because the odor is unpleasant to cats.
One very good way to deal with weeds is to boil them away. A pot of boiling hot water can be one of the most safe weed destroyers. Make sure to pour only on the weeds and to stay away from healthy vegetation. The weeds’ roots will be damaged by the boiling water; normally, this prevents them from continuing to grow.
Being a novice gardener, you should ensure that you follow the directions carefully for tool and chemical use. If you fail to follow the directions, you expose yourself to safety hazards or a risk of experiencing adverse reactions. Ensure that your body is protected by always following instructions.
Try pouring water leftover from steamed vegetables onto your potted plants. It contains rich nutrients that come from the vegetables. It is also possible to utilize coffee ground or tea to make the soil more acidic for gardenias, rhododendrons and other plants that prefer acidic soil. If you are having problems with fungus, you may find that sprinkling Chamomile tea on the plant is effective.
A garden can be planted by anybody. However, those who have taken time to do research will gain the most from their crops. Put this advice to work for you.
