1. Organic Horticulture Tips That Are Fun And Easy
Organic gardening can either be a major headache, or a very relaxing hobby. The following
suggestions will guide you on how to be a very successful organic gardener.
If you start to notice some powdery mildew growing on your plants, there is no need to waste money
on expensive chemicals. Plain water with a bit of liquid soap and baking soda will do the trick. Spray
this on the plants once per week until that mildew goes away. No damage will occur to your plants,
and the baking soda is mild and efficient.
You can alleviate this problem by planting grasses that your cat will naturally gravitate towards.
Alternatively, you can try putting mothballs, citrus peel or anything else with an odor that cats find
distasteful in the soil surrounding the plants.
If you're growing veggies in the garden, they need to be in a spot that lets them get about six hours
of sun daily. Many of the vegetables need a lot of sun, so they can grow right and at a faster pace.
This is true of some flowers.
Shelter your deciduous shrubs. If you have some tender shrubs that are in planters, you need to
protect them from cold weather. Tie together the tops. Once the canes are snugly together, put a
sheet over the wigwam. This tactic is better than utilizing plastic, because it will allow air to
circulate.
One natural method of weed removal is called "boiling". The safest herbicide that you can use in
your garden is a simple pot of boiling water. Just pour boiling water directly on top of the weeds
cautiously to avoid damaging your plants. The water will kill the weeds by destroying the roots and if
poured directly on the weeds, will prevent them from growing back.
Use gardening as a way to relax and recuperate. There are a variety of ways to find peace and
relaxation on a personal level. Horticulture is a relatively easy way to pursue this goal. The returns
are huge for a very minute up front investment cost. Your beautiful lush garden will allow you to
reap a harvest of peaceful tranquility.
