Organic gardening may be a major pain, or a joyous hobby. This list of tips should help you become a successful organic gardener.
Look for the variants of a plant that offer the highest yield. There are genetically modified plants that resist cold and/or disease. These often give higher yields due to higher survival rates.
Consider starting your plants in pots and then planting the seedlings in your garden. This insures that the plants will grow and thrive into adulthood. This method also gives you the freedom of tightening time periods between each planting. After you remove the mature plants from your garden, you can immediately replace them with the seedlings and start the cycle over again.
If you’re like many gardeners, autumn means that it’s time to get some delicious fall edibles growing in your garden. Try using a pumpkin as a natural plant pot. You can plant fall vegetables such as lettuce in an empty pumpkin shell. Simply cut the pumpkin open at the top, so you can remove the seeds and insides. After that, spray Wilt-Pruf along the edges and on the inside of the pumpkin, so it doesn’t rot. You are prepared to plant after this is done.
Plant perennials that are resistant to slug and snail infestations. Creatures like snails or slugs can destroy a plant in a single night. They gravitate towards perennials with smooth thin leaves, particularly on younger plants. Some varieties of perennials are not preferred by snails and slugs, particularly perennials that have hairy, tough leaves or a taste that isn’t appetizing. These varieties include achillea, helleborus, heuchera, euphorbia, and campanula.
If you want to grow peas, consider starting them indoors instead of planting them outside. If you give them a chance to grow indoors where they are protected, they will germinate better. The seedlings tend to be healthier, which would help them resist diseases and pests more easily. Once they are strong enough, you can transplant them outside.
Many of the tips here are quite easy and don’t require you to have any special talents. All you have to do is implement what you have just learned. Monitor the response of your plants when you apply these tips. If a method does not provide good results, try other methods. With a little patience, you will end with a garden all of your neighbors will be jealous of.
