Creating A Great Garden

Horticulture Is Easy With The Right Information

By Karen

When it comes to horticulture the green way, every organic garden needs extra TLC. In order to get good results in an organic garden, you need to use smart gardening techniques. Doing so will increase both the quantity and the quality of the produce you grow in your organic garden. Follow the tips provided for a successful organic garden.

Digging in hard clay soil is made even more difficult because it sticks to the shovel. To make your digging project easier, apply a coat of automobile wax to your shovel first and then buff it lightly. By waxing the shovel head, the clay will not be able to adhere to the surface.

Your tool handles can double as measuring sticks. Large handled tools like rakes, hoes or shovels may be used like measuring sticks. Lay the handles upon the floor and use a tape measure along side of them. Mark the measurements with a permanent marker. This modified ruler will serve you well as you begin working in your garden.

Plant bulbs if you want spring and summer flowers. Not only are bulbs hearty and easy to grow, but they’ll continue to grow as time goes on. Various bulbs do not all bloom at the same time, and if you employ this knowledge wisely, your garden can provide freshly blooming flowers for half the year.

When it’s autumn, you know what that means. It’s time to plant fall vegetables! Why not plant lettuce and kale inside a hollowed-out pumpkin? After cutting an opening and removing the meat and seeds from inside the pumpkin, use Wilt-Pruf, sprayed throughout the inside and cut edges, and prevent rot from occurring. Now you can use the pumpkin as a planter.

Think about adding some berry-producing evergreens to your landscaping. They add color to your yard, throughout the year. Other winter plants include the American Holly, Winterberry, The American Cranberrybush and the Common Snowberry.

Use smarts when watering your garden. You can save time by using soaker hoses to water more than one plant. Use a low water pressure to avoid damaging tender plants. Let it water your garden for a few hours, so you’re available to do other stuff.

It’s important to let your cuts heal prior to doing any gardening without gloves. A cut will likely become infected if it is exposed to dirt when gardening. It is possible now to get bandages that will completely seal the cut.

If you want to start a small organic garden indoors, evaluate the amount of natural light that is present. If you live somewhere without strong natural sunlight, you might want to look into growing plants that thrive in lower-light environments. If you do and this does not help, consider investing in some grow-lights.

One of the most important things to consider when plotting your garden is to make note of your available space. It’s common to not think about how much space a plant will need once it’s full grown, and you don’t want to crowd your garden. The plants need space due to sheer size and also for air circulation. Make sure that you map out your garden layout beforehand and place your seeds with an adequate amount of space in between each.

Organic horticulture will help you create a truly fresh and nutritious garden. It takes tons of patience and work, but it’s worth it for a great garden.
