When winter arrives, you can save some plants by placing them in your home. You may be able to save your most resistant or expensive plants. Always be careful when digging around the roots, and put the plant in a suitable pot.

If you want an organic way to weed your garden, try “boiling” them. Water is cheaper than chemical herbicides, and less hazardous to humans and soil. Make sure to pour only on the weeds and to stay away from healthy vegetation. Boiling water damages weed and plant roots, so be sure to avoid the plants you don’t want to eliminate.

Place organic mulch close to your vegetables. The mulch will keep the soil around the plants moist a little longer. It will also dramatically decrease weed growth. This will save you time, money, and effort in your lovely garden.

TIP! There are grass varieties, such as wheat grass or catnip, that will give your feline something to nibble on besides your garden. Another option is to place offensively smelling objects on the topsoil near and around the plants you want to protect.

Think about adding some berry-producing evergreens to your landscaping. The evergreens will add some color to your garden or yard, especially during the winter, when other plants have died or lost color. Some examples include Holly, Snowberry trees, Winterberry and similar plants.

If you can’t wait for a cut to heal before digging in the dirt, then at least protect your cuts from exposure. If dirt and grime get into a cut while gardening, it may become infected. Get a bandage that seals the cut properly.

TIP! Don’t cut your grass too short! Cutting your grass at a taller height allows grass roots to grow deeper and stronger, which helps lessen the chance of your lawn drying out easily. The shorter the grass is, the shorter the roots are, which leads to a dry lawn.

Make sure you work in your garden every day. Don’t waste time searching for lost tools. Prepare them all ahead of time and have them handy before you need to garden, and then put them back in their place when done. If you need to use a tool belt, try using some pants with pockets in them.

Space is very important when you plant an organic garden. Do not underestimate the space that plants need to develop their root systems. Proper spacing is important not just to accommodate the plants’ sizes but also for air circulation. Think ahead and give each plant room for expansion, by properly spacing the seeds.

Treated Wood

TIP! If you plan on growing peas, you should consider starting them indoors instead of beginning them outside. By initially planting them indoors, the seeds tend to germinate better.

Use untreated stone, brick or wood to build raised beds. If you choose to use wood, see to it that it’s untreated and that it can resist rotting. Cypress, locust and cedar are all very good choices. Do not use treated wood in your vegetable garden. In the event your vegetable garden already has treated wood as part of its enclosure, consider replacing it, or painting it, or wrapping the treated wood in some protective covering. Keep in mind that if any of the untreated wood is below the ground, you should dig it up to make sure that you completely protect your vegetable garden from the chemicals in the treated wood.
