When you have the option, organically grown produce is almost always far superior to the other choices in the grocery store. Don’t buy from the stores, grown your own. Read below to learn how to grow your very own organic garden.
Clay soil can be a real pain to work with as it often sticks to the end of the shovel. Coat and buff the digging end of the shovel with automobile wax to make digging easier. The wax prevents the clay from sticking to the shovel, and stops rust from forming.
Your vegetable garden should get at least six hours of sun daily. Most vegetables need this amount of sunlight to grow the right way at a faster pace. This is the same for many varieties of flowers.
Cooling weather of early fall signals the opportune time to plant seasonal edibles. Rather than putting standard clay vessels into use when planting crops of lettuce and kale, think about using pumpkins instead. Use some Wilt-Pruf to prevent your pumpkin from decomposing and then you can put your plants right inside. When this is finished, you are now ready to plant.
Start your garden off right with seeds, not plants. Not only is this more of an effective method for gardening, but it’s also more environmentally-friendly. It’s better for your garden, in particular, because transplants have high failure rates; whereas, sprouting a seed and growing a plant in the same conditions is better. Additionally, it’s better for the environment, because the plastic pots used by most greenhouses are generally not recycled and are cluttering landfills.
Start using these tips right away, and you will be able to enjoy all of the benefits of a healthy, pollutant free organic garden in no time. You can also look forward to a boost in the volume of wildlife inhabiting your nature-loving garden.
