For some people organic gardening is a fun, relaxing pastime, whereas for others it can be a major headache. The advice in this piece is sure to pave the way to organic gardening success.
To prevent your plants from getting shocked by a big change, get them gradually used to climate and temperature changes. On the first day, place them in the sun outside for only an hour or so. Over a week, increase the time outside slowly. If you do this correctly, the plants should be able to make their final move at the end of a week’s time.
A handy trick is to turn the handle on a tool that you use often into a makeshift ruler. It is possible to utilize tools with long handles, such as rakes, hoes and shovels, as measuring sticks. Lay the handles on the floor, then run the measuring tape down next to them. Mark your distances with a permanent marker. The next time you find yourself in your garden, you will have one large ruler right at your fingertips.
Before planting seeds, soak them overnight. Place them in a cupboard or other place where they won’t be exposed to light. Put some seeds (a small amount) in a container that isn’t too large for the plant you’ll be growing. Fill that container with water, almost to the top. This will allow seeds to be watered and they will get a kick start when growing. The young plants will survive better, and get a boost toward maturity.
Keep your plants dry and aerated daily. Moisture can be a magnet for disease and parasites on your plants. Fungi are a very common and irritating pest in the world of gardening. You can control fungi with the application of fungicide sprays. However, the area should be treated before you see the onset of any problems.
You probably know just how rewarding gardening can be. The fruits of your time and labors fail to stop yielding, regardless of the dividends are vibrant color outside your windows or fresh foods on your kitchen table. By applying some of the advice you have learned, you can find a lot of joy from gardening.
