In the world of organic gardening, there are plenty of great resources available to both new and experienced organic gardeners alike. There are many e-guides, books, videos, and other resources available. This set of tips contains some of the best advice for helping a good organic gardener become a great organic gardener.

Save some plants in the winter by bringing them indoors. Maybe you’d like to save the most expensive plants you have or the most resistant. Dig carefully around the roots and transfer the plants to a pot.

TIP! Many times when digging in clay soil the clay will adhere to the shovel, which will make it much harder to dig. To make working in clay easier, rub the shovel with floor or car wax and then buff it with a cloth.

The kind of soil you use will influence the results. What plants you desire determines what type of soil you need in your garden, and whether or not it needs to be amended. You can simply use one type of soil to make an artificial area.

Soil Analysis

Do a soil analysis prior to planting. For a tiny fee, a soil analysis may be done, and based on the results, the soil can support a growing garden by you enriching it as necessary. Before you ruin any crops, make sure you do this. Soil can be analyzed at a lot of cooperative extension offices, so make sure you plan accordingly.

TIP! Brighten up your flower beds with annuals and biennials. You can use biennial and annual flowers to brighten the bed, and let you change how it looks.

When you mow your lawn, do not mow it close to the ground. If you leave a bit more height, the grass roots will get deeper, making your lawn stronger. Short grass means short roots and dead grass.

Make sure you protect any tender deciduous shrubs. Tender, potted shrubs must be protected when the weather is cold. Tie the tops tightly together, and cover the wigwam with a sheet or blanket draped loosely over it. This is a much better method, instead of putting the plastic wrap around the plant. It allows proper air circulation that can prevent rotting.

You can use boiling water to get rid of weeds naturally. Boiling water is a very safe alternative to other potent herbicides. Just douse the weeds directly with boiling water, taking care to avoid damaging nearby plants. The water will kill the weeds by destroying the roots and if poured directly on the weeds, will prevent them from growing back.

TIP! Transfer your favorite plants inside so they survive the winter. You can save the ones you spent the most money on or the ones that are resistant.

Allow enough room between plants for air to circulate, so that plants do not stay too wet. Parasites and pests are attracted to excess moisture on the plants. A common parasite found in the plant kingdom is fungi. You can control fungi with fungicides, but you must remember to use it before you notice any problems in order for it to work.

Learn the proper way to handle chemicals, and the right way to use garden tools. Some of the chemicals in these products can cause skin irritation, or worse, if you fail to take this simple precaution. Keep yourself safe by carefully following all instructions.

Invest in a quality wheelbarrow and a kneeling stool if gardening work is going to happen often. Working in the garden means you’ll be down on the ground a lot. This can cause knee pain, so if you have a stool, you’ll have an easier time. As well, horticulture can involve some heavy lifting and moving, so a strong wheelbarrow can really make that aspect much more effortless.

TIP! Pick the correct soil to get the best results. The soil that is already in your garden might need amending, depending on the particular plants that you want to grow.

In conclusion, the tips that you have read above should have you well on the path towards becoming the best organic gardener you can be. Even the best information needs to be implemented correctly, however, so be very cognizant of that fact. With these tips in mind, you will be able to create your very own methods of creating a great organic garden.
