Every day, more and more people are learning the benefits of organic gardens. The aim of this article is to help the would-be organic gardener get off to a great start. Use what you read and get down to work!
Your plants will respond better to gradual changes of environment. The first day you transfer your plants, you should only allow them to sit in direct sunlight for a few hours. Then over the next week, gradually increase the time they are in their new habitat. The plants should be prepared to move outside permanently at the end of this week.
If you have any mildew on the plants, do not go out and buy anything. Put a little baking soda and some dish soap in water. Once a week, spray this on plants to eliminate the mildew. Your plants will not be harmed by the baking soda, but the mildew will definitely not like it!
If you want flowers in spring and summer, plant bulbs in the garden. Most bulbs are extremely hearty and grow easily. They also come back year after year. Include a variety of plantings to get a full season of flowers, from early bloomers to late-season varieties.
Before planting seeds, soak them overnight. Place them in a cupboard or other place where they won’t be exposed to light. You then want to place a small amount of seeds in a container that’s smaller and then fill it up with water to the top. This will hydrate the seeds and facilitate growth. Your seeds will then have the best chance possible to survive to maturity.
Vegetables in a garden need to have at least six hours of sun every day in order to thrive. Proper sunlight is a prerequisite for proper growth. This is true of some flowers.
If you use this advice concerning organic gardening, you will have a healthier yard in no time. Keep in mind that you can expect to see increase in wildlife when your garden begins to grow and work with nature.
