33% OffOrganic horticulture isn’t as easy as it seems. If you decide to go the natural route, you may have to know about things like the pH balance of soil and natural bug-fighting concoctions. An organic garden can be more than a little challenging for the novice. Be successful by using the following tips.
Think about starting plants in pots, and then placing the seedlings in the garden later. Your plants will be more likely to survive if you do this. In addition, you can shorten the intervals between your plantings. You will have healthy seedlings that are ready to be planted when you get rid of old plants.
When gardening, be sure to look closely for stink bug infestation, especially during Autumn. They love to inhabit peppers, beans, tomatoes and all kinds of fruit varieties. If not taken care of, these pests can damage the garden, so take steps to cut down their population.
If you have a vegetable garden, it is crucial they are kept in a spot with at least six hours of sun each day. Most vegetables need at least that much sun for optimal growth speed. The same can be said for some flowers.
Protect your tender deciduous shrubs. Shrubs that are planted in containers are especially susceptible to frost and must be carefully protected. Tie together the tops. Once the canes are snugly together, put a sheet over the wigwam. Using fabric, rather than plastic, allows air circulation and prevents rotting from moisture build up.
Keep your plants dry and aerated daily. Damp leaves can lead to plant disease and parasites. Fungi are a very common and irritating pest in the world of gardening. You can control fungi with fungicides, but you must remember to use it before you notice any problems in order for it to work.
Keeping pests out of a vegetable garden can be difficult. Do not spray harsh chemicals on the vegetables you are going to eat. Frequently check your garden for pests. If you catch them when there are only a few around, you can actually pick them off the plants by hand.
Plan your garden, and plant with fall colors in mind. Fortunately, this doesn’t have to be. Autumn is the most colorful season of all, foliage-wise. Maple trees produce yellow and red leaves, just like Beech and Dogwood trees. Some very good shrubs to choose are barberry, hydrangea, and cotoneaster, which is a member of the rose family.
During the hotter parts of the day, vegetables are softer, which means even picking them gently can cause them damage. Use garden shears to remove your vegetables from the vine to avoid damaging the plant.
Once your seeds have germinated they will not need to be kept as warm as before. Locate your plants further from your heat source as they mature. Additionally, remove any plastic films that were on your containers. This will keep out warmth and humidity. To know when it is time for this, keep a careful eye on your seeds.
When working in the garden, try to work as efficiently as possible. Do not waste your time looking for tools. Before you start work in the garden, make sure you have the necessary tools, and always remember to put them away when you are finished. Wear pants with several pockets or use a tool belt.
If you’d like to create a raised bed, use materials like brick, stone, or untreated wood. If you choose wood, ensure that it has not been treated with a sealant or other chemicals. Good choices are cypress, cedar and locust. Treated wood has chemicals that can be harmful to a vegetable garden. You may have previously used treated lumber; if so, you should use a plastic liner to cover it.
Find out more about botanical insecticides to get rid of the pest. Natural insecticides are sometimes more effective than the myriad synthetic, chemical-based products available. However, botanical pesticides rot rather quickly and tend to disappear.
Now, you shouldn’t get your hopes up and believe that a few tips are going to turn you into an instant professional gardener. However, these tips are a great starting point if you do plan to grow organically. As you implement these tips and hone your skills, you’ll be a professional green-thumb-holder in no time.
