All you need to do is gain a little knowledge, and then put it to good use.
When selecting among several varieties of a plant, choose the ones that will produce the largest yield. Many times, hybrid plants tend to resist disease, and tolerate the cold weather better than their traditional counterparts, resulting in higher yields.
Plant perennials that are slug-proof. If slugs or snails find their favorite perennials in your garden, they’ll snack all night. When you wake up in the morning, there will be very little left of your plants. These pests are especially attracted to tender sprouts and to delicate, soft leaves. Perennials that are unappetizing in taste, or that have hardened and hairy leaves, are not a favorite of slugs or snails. Some varieties of these plants are campanula, helleborus, heuchera, or euphorbia.
A certain amount of CO2 is necessary for plants to maximize their growth potential. Most plants will grow better with more CO2. Getting a greenhouse is the best way to get a higher amount. Make sure to keep CO2 levels high to provide the best growing environment for your plants.
Coffee Grounds
If you discover that your soil is very alkaline, take used coffee grounds and mix them thoroughly with your soil. The coffee grounds provide a cheap way to re-supply needed acid to the dirt. This simple act can lead to vegetables that taste better and look more appealing.
Protect your deciduous shrubs which are tender. Shrubs in pots especially need special care in the colder weather. Tie the tops of the canes together; then take a sheet and cover the wigwam loosely. Using fabric, rather than plastic, allows air circulation and prevents rotting from moisture build up.
If you are looking for an all-natural, organic way to weed your garden, consider “boiling off” the weeds. One of the safest “herbicides” you can find is a pot of boiling water. Soak weeds with freshly boiled water, just being mindful to not afflict damage on plants you want to keep. The extreme heat of the water will cause damage to the weeds’ roots, which will stop them from growing any more.
If you find yourself in love with mint leaves, but not with how they dominate a garden, read on. Control their expansion by confining them to a large pot. Then, you can plant the container into the ground. However, the container walls will keep the roots held, and prevent the plant from consuming too much of your garden space.
See to it that you fertilize your garden. One type of fertilizer that really helps plants grow is manure, but be sure to utilize a type that is commercially composted to reduce the chances of pathogens. There are numerous types of fertilizers available. What type you select is less of a concern; any kind of fertilizer is better than none.
There are natural steps you can take to keep garden pests at bay. A border of onions or marigolds around a vegetable garden can repel slug. Keep insects away from shrub and tree seedlings with mulch containing wood ash. These are proven methods without having to use harsh chemical pesticides.
If you want to maximize your success at organic horticulture, you need to learn as much as you can about how to garden. Simply follow this handy organic advice.
