Choose plant strains that will give you the best harvest with the biggest yield. A plant that is resistant to disease, or one that is tolerant of extreme weather, will deliver a higher yield.
Use perennials resistant to slugs and snails. These mollusks are capable of consuming an entire garden full of flowers in a single night. Certain perennials that don’t have tough leaves are especially tasty to snails and slugs. There are, however, certain types of perennials that slugs and snails hate. Most of these varieties either have tough leaves or taste unappealing. Some perennial families that snails and slugs won’t eat include achillea, campanula, and helleborus.
Both cat grass and wheat grass are good for giving your errant feline pause. You may also place something offensively smelly atop the soil, like citrus peel or mothballs.
As you cut your grass, do not trim it too low to the ground. By leaving your grass a little higher off the ground, it give the roots a chance to grow deep into the soil which makes the lawn stronger, and that helps keep it from drying out. If you have short grass, you will have short roots and you will dry out your grass.
Don’t you hate it how fresh mint leaves take over all of your garden, even though you love them? You can control their growth by placing them into a pot or container. You can bury the container so the top is flush with the ground if desired, but the container’s walls will prevent the roots from spreading so that the plant won’t take over your entire garden.
