It’s possible in your mind’s eye that the neighbor is doing something unique. Actually, a beautiful lawn and garden can be cultivated without the use of secrets or magic.

Your tool handles can easily be used as handy rulers. Handles of things such as rakes, hoes or shovels make excellent measuring instruments. All you have to do is lay them on the floor then use a measuring tape to measure their length. Then, transfer the measurements to the handle using a permanent marker. Now, the next time you’re down in the garden, you’ll have a handy ruler without needing to look anywhere else.
A garden with a foundation of healthy soil is the best defense against pests. Healthy plants are stronger and more able to resist both pests and disease. Begin with a high-quality soil with less chemicals to avoid salt accumulation, and you give your garden an excellent chance of growing healthy plants.
Plants that climb can hide fences and walls. These climbing plants will help beautify an old fence, and they are fast workers too. They can also grow through existing shrubs or trees, or be trained to cover an arbor. Some require a support, while other climbers attach to surfaces using twining stems or tendrils. Plants such as clematis, wisteria, climbing roses, or honeysuckle are always great choices.
If you want flowers in spring and summer, plant bulbs in the garden. Most bulbs are hardy and require little to no care in order to develop into beautiful perennials that will reappear each and every year. Specific types of bulbs usually bloom at specific times of the season, so if you make appropriate selections, you can be rewarded with blooms from the early part of spring to the later part of summer.
Coffee Grounds
Sometimes the soil you want to use for your garden has a high alkaline content. Combine coffee grounds with the soil to reduce this. Coffee grounds are an inexpensive way to increase the acid level in your soil. When you use them, you will start to notice that your vegetables are tastier and more vibrant in color.
Irises can be easily divided. If you split up clumps of them, you will eventually have more of this flower. If you find any dead irises in your garden, immediately pull up the bulbs. The bulbs will naturally split in your hands, and after you replant them, will flower about a year later. If you have a rhizome you will need to split it with a knife. Cut out new pieces from outside the bulb and throw away the old center. Every piece should contain a strong offshoot. For optimum viability, plant your new cuttings into the ground without delay.
Broad-spectrum pesticide is not a good garden choice. While broad-spectrum pesticides will kill most pests, they will also kill helpful insects. Bugs that provide a benefit to your garden are more easily killed by these broad-spectrum pesticides, you may simply end up with a bigger pest problem. This will cause a cycle to start where you will need to keep increasing the amount of pesticide you are using.
Most of these tips are easy to apply in your own setting. You just need some basic education on horticulture techniques, then you can put that education to good use. Keep tabs on how the plants in your garden respond to each of the methods. If a method does not provide good results, try other methods. With patience and love you can grow the best garden in your neighborhood.
