A lot of people are finding out the benefits of growing an organic garden. By using the advice below, you will be able to get started in organic horticulture and create a thriving and beautiful garden. Just follow the tips and tricks outlined here and get ready for some beautiful results!
Plant annuals and biennials to make your flower beds brighter. Fast-growing annuals and biennials can brighten up a flower bed, and allow you to change the look from season to season and year to year. In addition, you might need something to fill empty spaces in your flower garden. Fill gaps with annuals or biennials. Just make sure the flowers will get enough sun to thrive. Some excellent choices include rudbeckia, hollyhock, sunflower, cosmos, petunia and marigold.
Baking Soda
If you see mildew that is powdery, stay away from expensive chemicals to treat it. Mix a solution of baking soda, water, and a tiny bit of dishwashing liquid. Spray this onto your plants about once per week or until it subsides. Do not worry about your plants; the baking soda cannot harm them.
Use climbers for covering fences and walls. Climbing plants are known to be very versatile, and can help hide any ugly wall or fence, and this often only takes one growing season. They may grow up through some existing shrubs and trees, and can even be worked to grow around an arbor. Sometimes the plants will require being tied to supports, but some climbers will attach themselves naturally. Wisteria, jasmine, honeysuckle, clematis and some rose varieties are good choices for climbers.
When it’s autumn, it’s time to start planting all of your fall edibles. This year, instead of using your regular clay pots to plant your kale and lettuce, use a pumpkin as the container instead! Scoop the insides out of the pumpkin, and don’t forget to spray the inside with Wilt-Pruf. This will prevent your pumpkin from rotting. When this is finished, you are now ready to plant.
Before you plant a garden you should plan it out. This will assist you in recognizing your tiny plants when they start to pop up. You might end up losing small plants in a large area, because you did not water them.
