30% OffThere are a number of healthy ways to get chemical-free produce, and one the best is to start your own organic garden. There are many ways to approach this hobby. You just need to learn what you can do, and then do it.
Shoveling clay is very difficult and lots of work because the clay is hard and sticks to the shovel, making it tough to handle. Coat the shovel with floor or car wax, and buff it with a clean rag to make the job a lot easier. This causes the clay to slide rather than stick, and prevents rust as a side effect.
If you have any mildew on the plants, do not go out and buy anything. The best solution is mixing baking soda, a drop of liquid dish detergent and water together in a spray bottle. Spray this solution on plants once weekly until the mildew is gone. Baking soda will bring no damage to your plants, and will treat the mildew in a gentle and efficient manner.
Long plants that run up or around a fence or wall are often useful for masking ugliness. Climbing plants can cover a wall after one growing season only. You may also be interested in training them over an arbor or trellis. You can also grow them among existing landscape trees and plants. Some types of climbers support themselves naturally through twining stems or tendrils, but others will have to be attached to something. Excellent varieties include honeysuckle, wisteria, jasmine, climbing roses and clematis.
When winter comes, you can save a few plants by transferring them inside the house. You should probably save the most resistant or expensive plants. Always be careful when digging around the roots, and put the plant in a suitable pot.
Analyze the soil before you even get started with working in a garden. For a small fee, a soil analysis can be obtained – based on that report – the soil can be properly enriched to support a vibrant garden. A lot of extension offices will offer this service and it is worth it so you know what your soil needs.
Plant bulbs if you want spring and summer flowers. A hardy perennial addition to your garden, bulbs will continue to delight every year. Remember that different bulbs will bloom at all different times of the year, so if you are careful to choose the right bulbs, you will see blooms in the early spring, and have flowers all the way to late summer.
You could try to boil weeds if you are trying to remain organic. Boiling water can be considered as an herbicide, and it is a safe one. One simple layer across the weeds with a pot of boiling water will take care of the problem, but you have to remember the same applies to your plants, as well. The water will kill the weeds by destroying the roots and if poured directly on the weeds, will prevent them from growing back.
Protect your plants from moisture on a daily basis. Excess moisture on a plant will invite unwanted parasites or diseases to the plant. A common parasite found in the plant kingdom is fungi. Be sure to prevent the growth of fungus with a spray that will inhibit their growth.
There are many natural substances that are effective for warding off unwanted visitors. Slugs stay away from marigolds and onions when they are planted in a garden. Insects can be deterred if you use wood ash instead of mulch around trees and shrub seedlings. You will be able to stay away from harsh chemical based pesticides by incorporating these techniques into your gardening.
A garden can be grown by anyone, but in order to have a garden that produces the best crops, proper horticulture knowledge is needed. Try using these organic tips.
