Ideas To Grow A Garden The Organic Way

You want to create a healthy and fresh organic garden. This is great timing! The tips below can help you begin your organic garden.

So you don't shock the plants, you should gradually get them use to a change in the temperature and conditions. On the first day, put them out in sunlight for about an hour or so. Then over a weeks time, slightly increase their time outside. By the time the week ends, your plants will be ready for their big move and should have no problems!

Fight pests before you even plant, by getting your soil in shape. Healthy plants are naturally more resilient against pests and disease. Use a high-quality organic soil and as few chemicals as possible.

Carefully plan your garden first. It will be easy to remember where each plant is when sprouts start to shoot up the following spring. You might end up losing small plants in a large area, because you did not water them.

Do you want fresh mint leaves without having to worry about them growing too quickly? You can stunt the growth of mint by planting it inside a container or super-sized bowl. Plant the container in the ground, but its walls will hold those roots captive, and will prevent the plant from engulfing your garden!

Plant with fall season color in mind. That need not be the case though! When it comes to vivid foliage, autumn offers the best opportunity to view it. Fall hues of orange, yellow and red can be seen falling from maple trees, and dogwoods and beech trees offer comparable spectacles. There are practically as many types of shrubs chosen for their fall colors are there are gardeners! Barberry, hydrangea and cotoneaster are particularly popular choices.

To keep dogs from disturbing your garden, spray some old aftershave, cologne, perfume or other strongly-scented products in the dirt or grass surrounding it. This will work to mask any scent that is attracting dogs, and will make the garden a much less interesting place to for dogs to be.

Vegetables are softer when they are warmer, increasing the risk that you will damage them. You should also be sure to cut them off the vine and not twist them, as twisting can hurt the plant.

You will now be better prepared as you start pursuing organic gardening. If you were under the impression you were good at organic gardening before, you should now feel like an expert! The advice you have received should get you well on your way to growing a lovely and productive organic garden.
