Organic gardening methods are extremely cheap for the most part. Here are some essential tips to help you become an expert organic gardener.
Lay sod properly. Get your soil ready before you lay the sod. Remove the weeds, then break up the soil into fine tilth. Compress the soil lightly yet firmly, and make certain it’s flat. The soil should be adequately moistened. When laying down sod, create staggered rows with offset joints. Even out the surface of the sod by firming it down flat, filling any available gaps with a handful of dirt. Sod has to be watered daily for two weeks, and then it can be rooted.
When winter comes around, save some plants by putting them in the house. Perhaps you can save your most expensive or resistant plants. Dig the plant up without damaging the roots and place it a big enough pot.
Your soil needs to be of good quality before you start a garden. Have a soil analysis completed so you can know what you need to add to have soil which will fully support your garden. A lot of extension offices will offer this service and it is worth it so you know what your soil needs.
Stink Bugs
Make sure to be weary of stink bugs whenever you garden, particularly during the fall months. Stink bugs prefer peppers, beans, tomatoes, and various varieties of fruits. If you don’t treat them, they can do a lot of damage in your garden.
Bulbs are a great option for people who want to enjoy spring and summer flowers. These are hearty choices, choices that will reward you for years despite the little effort that is involved in their care. Different types of bulbs bloom at different times, so if you choose appropriately, you can have blooms from early spring to late summer.
There is always a best time to pick your garden’s vegetables, and you should know them. Different veggies have different windows of time in which they should be picked; it is during this period that the vegetable is most flavorful. Baby peas, for example have much better flavor if they are harvested early in the ripening process, as does zucchini. In contrast, tomatoes are best when left on the vine as long as possible. To get the most out of your horticulture efforts, find out when to harvest your crops.
Be smart about how you water your garden. Use a soaker hose to save time so that you do not have to water each plant individually with a hose nozzle, or a watering can that needs to be refilled repeatedly. Use low water pressure with your soaker hose so that the force of the water does not harm sprouts and seedlings. Give it a few hours to water the plants so you have schedule freedom to tend to other matters.
Keep your pet out of the garden with old perfume or aftershave in the grass. This will mask any scents that might attract your dog and make your garden less interesting to him.
Dress to protect your skin from sun damage when you garden. Wear wide-brimmed hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen. When you keep your eyes and skin properly protected, you are less likely to get a sunburn. You also lower your risk in developing cancer of the skin.
In the hottest time of the day, most vegetables are less firm; even the act of harvesting the veggies may cause bruising. You can also protect both your vegetables and the plant they grow on by cutting them off instead of twisting them off.
Start using these tips right away, and you will be able to enjoy all of the benefits of a healthy, pollutant free organic garden in no time. Planting a natural garden also encourages wildlife to enjoy your garden, and this even benefits the plants growing within.
