YES there really is a secret to successful gardening, but the truth of the matter i s that ANYONE can cultivate a strong, healthy garden organically if they are in possession of the right information . . . and I AM LIVING PROOF!
If you will just use these great gardening tips to go organic, you will be rewarded with that organic garden that you have always dreamed of . . . let's get busy!
Just so you know, It's all about the compost when it come to the success of an organic garden. Good compost will truly improve the soil's structure, aeration, and texture, all the while also aiding to increase the soil's water holding capacity. Compost can also help better promote soil fertility, along with helping to stimulate healthier root development. I personally started composting two years ago and I have had nothing but success with my vegetables and flowers as well.
When you are ready to insulate the soil and protect against weeds, you MUST consider different types of mulches. Use things like wood chips, leaves, hay, and lawn clippings. Protecting plants with a mulch helps them in many ways, such as guarding soil against erosion. You can even look into living mulches, which are plants that serve the same purpose as a mulch.
When cultivating you r herbs, dry your herbs immediately after you harvest them to insure freshness and prevent rot. Normally, rot is caused by moisture either within the herb or on top of it. Moisture can in turn be responsible for the production of harmful bacteria that may cause rot on the herb, or produce a nasty by-product which will then spoil your harvest.
As in earlier times, collecting and recycling rain water is a great way to save money and help your garden bloom. It is commonly known that rain water is generally cleaner and freer of pollutants and contaminants than ground water or city water. If is more feasible if you collect the rain in rain barrels or cisterns so that you can use it whenever necessary.
When washing your organic produce, try using a laundry basket. As you pick your produce, lay them in a plastic laundry basket, which will work as a strainer. Hold the hose over the top and the water can make quick work of rinsing all the dirt and other matter off of your fruits and veggies.
Notate your organic garden's progress in a gardening journal, be sure to record everything - the dates you plant, the dates you fertilize, pests that arrive, which repellents work, when you begin harvesting, and how fruitful your garden is. Trust me when I say that this information will be valuable to you as you plan your garden in the years ahead and will help you to be a successful gardener.
Mulching is great for your garden when it is done properly, be sure to spread your mulch out and cover as much of your garden as possible. Be cautious when piling your mulch up against trees or structures, it can cause them to rot.
Attempt to keep plants in the same environment in which you bought them and do not sun shock your new plants, if your new plants were not in a full-sun location when you bought them. Place the containers in an area that receives only partial sunlight for a day or two, and then gradually expose them to increased amounts of direct sun for several days before planting.
Just know that there is no BIG SECRET to successful organic gardening, although doing a bit of research can do nothing but assist you in your endeavor. However. if you are getting the feeling that this may be a bit overwhelming for you . . there is help available!
