1. Getting The Most From A Vibrant Organic Garden
Organic produce is better than normal produce in terms of flavor and nutrients. Why not save your
money and grown your own veggies? This article will show you how to plan an organic garden right
in your own yard.
Learn the proper way to lay sod. Be sure to get your soil prepared before you start laying the new
sod. Remove the weeds, then break up the soil into fine tilth. Flatten the soil back into place, gently
but firmly. Thoroughly moisten the soil. Avoid laying your sod in straight rows with all of the seams
lining up. Instead, stagger the rows for a more pleasing visual effect. Pat down the sod and fill any
gaps with soil. For the best results, you need to water the sod every day for a two week period. After
this time the sod will have rooted into the soil and can be now walked on.
In the cold winter months, you can salvage
certain plants by bringing them into the
house. Your best bet would be try to save
the best or most hearty plants. Always be
careful when digging around the roots,
and put the plant in a suitable pot.
While caring for your garden in the fall,
you will want to keep a lookout for
stinkbugs. Fruits, peppers and tomatoes
are among the foods they love to eat. If they are left in the garden, they can do great damage to your
plants, so you should do whatever you can to eliminate them.
Make sure you remove the weeds from your garden! Weeds can truly ruin a good garden. To do this,
think about using white vinegar. White vinegar will kill those pesky weeds. Try spraying some white
vinegar in water when you are pulling weeds from your garden.
If you have many low-growing plants in your garden, get yourself a pair of horticulture knee pads.
The amount of time that you spend horticulture on your knees can make your knees hurt by the time
you are done. Purchase a great pair of knee pads; they will provide a cushion for your knees while
making gardening more comfortable.
Try dividing the irises. If you divide the overgrown clumps of flowers, you'll find that your stock
grows proportionally. Try to life the bulbous irises when foliage begins to die. As soon as you pick up
the bulb, it'll split into pieces. That's okay - in fact, it's desirable. You can replant the bulb pieces and
next year you'll have a healthy bed of new irises. You should divide rhizomes using a knife. Cut
several new pieces out of the outside and get rid of the old center. Every piece needs to have a
minimum of one good offshoot. Replant the new shoots right away.
Create a space perfect for any perennial garden with this easy method. With a garden spade, slice
under the dirt then flip it over. Next, spread out wood chips several inches deep. Allow a few weeks
to pass by before you dig down into the applied soil.
