Horticulture is an activity people have done for a long time. Many garden to help feed the family; while others enjoy the sheer pleasure of it. This article will introduce ways you can make the most of your gardening activities.

TIP! A great gardening tip to use is to always select types of plants that are more likely to produce a high yield. Hybrids are usually hardier in terms of disease and weather resistance, and are designed to produce more.

When selecting among several varieties of a plant, choose the ones that will produce the largest yield. In most circumstances, a cold-tolerant or disease-resistant hybrid will have a higher yield when compared to a more traditional variety.

Utilize your garden tool handles as convenient makeshift rulers. Handles of things such as rakes, hoes or shovels make excellent measuring instruments. Place the handles on the floor to measure the distance between them. Have a marker handy, and mark the distance with it. When you are gardening next, you’ll have a ruler beside you at all times.

TIP! Choose perennials that slugs are not attracted to. A particularly vulnerable plant can be killed by snails and slugs overnight.

Before you even place the first plant in your garden, you need to check the composition of your soil. For a small fee, a soil analysis can be obtained – based on that report – the soil can be properly enriched to support a vibrant garden. Many Cooperative Extension offices will provide this service, and it is well worth knowing exactly what the soil needs to avoid ruining a crop or two.

Grow some wheat grass or catnip for your cat to eat instead. You could also place mothballs and citrus peels around your plants to keep your cat away.

TIP! If mildew is forming on your plants, you should not purchase an expensive chemical. All it takes is a liquid soap, water, and baking soda mixture.

Before you plant a garden you should plan it out. This way, when the sprouts start shooting up, you can recall where you planted each plant. You can also prevent yourself from losing small plants within a large garden.

Knee Pads

TIP! Carbon dioxide, or CO2, is essential to the growth of plants because of its role in photosynthesis. More CO2 generally produces more luxurious plant growth.

A set of comfortable knee pads makes a great investment if your garden is full of plant material that stays low to the ground. Long hours tending your garden can leave your knees sore and achy. Investing in a comfortable pair of knee pads made specifically for gardening can really reduce the pain you may feel from the pressure of being on your knees for extended periods.

Ensuring your plants are both dry and aerated is a great way to keep them healthy. Parasites and pests are attracted to excess moisture on the plants. Fungi are parasites that are common in the plant world. You can rid your garden of fungi with fungicidal sprays. However, it is best to treat your garden before there are problems.

TIP! Remember to remove weeds from the garden. Weeds will cause your garden to become overgrown and cluttered.

Always fertilize your garden. Manure helps your plants grow. Make sure you use a product that is commercially composted so you don’t risk adding pathogens to your garden. Although there are plenty of fertilizer choices, don’t be concerned with which one you use; just be sure to use one.

As we mentioned before, you can find much enjoyment in horticulture, as people have done for centuries. Centuries ago, people gardened as a way to feed their families. Now, it can be done by people who have no intention of even growing food; it is used for pleasure as well as for other reasons. The stuff from this article can make your gardening experience more enjoyable. Enjoy the pluses that go with a garden!
