It’s a fun activity that will allow you to enjoy nutritious food that’s free of pesticides. However, organic gardening obviously isn’t as easy as it might sound. Keep reading to learn what you can do to make your garden succeed.
Always allow your plants to adapt gradually to any changes in light conditions, temperatures or soils, if you do not, you might shock them and cause them to die. Place them outdoors in the sun for about an hour or two on the first day. Throughout the week, you should leave your plants out for a little longer each day. At the end of a week, they should be accustomed to the outdoors and ready to transition to outside safely.
Digging in clay soil with a shovel can be very difficult. The clay isn’t easy to work with and will adhere to the shovel, which only makes the problem worse. One way to get around this problem is to coat the shovel with wax. Use a clean cloth to spread the wax evenly. The clay will no longer stick to the shovel, and this also helps to prevent other problems like rusting.
Plant some perennials in your garden that repel slugs. Snails and slugs can quickly wreak havoc on a garden. These pests are especially attracted to tender sprouts and to delicate, soft 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. Achillea, euphorbia, helleborus, heuchera and campanula are good choices that slugs don’t like.
Baking Soda
Don’t bother with expensive chemicals if your plants start to sport powdery mildew. Combine a bit of liquid soap and some baking soda with water. Spray this mixture on your plants weekly until the mildew is gone. Baking soda is not harmful to your plants and will take care of the issue as well as any other treatment.
Your plants will reach maximum growth if they have a sufficient supply of carbon dioxide. A major portion of plants grow their best in an environment with a saturated level of CO2. Growing plants in a greenhouse is the best way to contain CO2 for use by your plants. For the best growing conditions you should keep the CO2 levels high.
Bulbs planted in the spring can flower all the way into summer. Since bulbs are easy to grow and resistant to poor weather conditions, they will grow without fail year after year. Different types of bulbs bloom at different times, so if you choose appropriately, you can have blooms from early spring to late summer.
Be sure to split the irises. You can divide those overgrown clumps and increase the amount of irises you have. If you find any dead irises in your garden, immediately pull up the bulbs. If you split the bulbs that you pull up, and replant them, they will bloom the following year. Rhizomes should be divided using a knife. New pieces should be cut from the outside, then the old center you want to discard. If done properly, each piece that remains for planting should have a minimum of one viable offshoot. Do this cutting beside your garden bed, so that you can place your new groupings into the ground immediately.
To ensure a healthy garden, make sure you surround your plants with a few inches of good organic mulch. Mulch helps the soil surrounding the plants remain moister for a longer time. This is also efficient in preventing weeds from growing. This will save you time, money, and effort in your lovely garden.
If you are horticulture with a cut, make sure that you adequately protect it from dirt and chemicals. A cut could get infected if it gets in contact with grime and dirt in the garden. Get the appropriate bandages to seal the cut completely.
The hobby of organic gardening will take dedication, patience and a little bit of help from Mother Nature. It’s an activity that lets you get in touch with nature while growing something very tasty. If you follow these tips and put in a great effort, there is nothing stopping you from becoming a good organic gardener.
