Properly applying different techniques for organic gardening pays off in the long run. It will show how much you care about the plants you grow, and your desire to ensure they are as healthy as possible. This is a valuable attitude. Just like most things in life, there are continual ways to improve your skills. Here are some suggestions that can help.

TIP! If the soil in your garden has a high concentration of alkaline, try mixing some coffee grounds into your garden’s soil. The coffee grounds are an inexpensive way to give some acid back to the dirt.

Use pots to start your plants, then transfer them to a garden when they become seedlings. Once the plant is hardy enough, plant it in your garden. In addition, it offers you a smaller time frame between plantings. When you remove your mature plants, the next batch of seedlings should be ready.

The handles of your tools can double as clever rulers. Tools that have long handles such as rakes, hoes and shovels can be used in place of a measuring stick. Just run some measuring tape right on the floor next to the handles. You can label distances using a permanent marker. This will allow you to have a ruler at your fingertips when you are working out in the garden.

TIP! Ensure that your plants are kept dry, and aerated daily. Moisture on the surface of a plant can attract parasites, and cause disease.

Use perennials resistant to slugs and snails. Slugs and snails are voracious eaters that can destroy a plant literally overnight. These garden pests prefer perennials with thin, flat, delicate leaves, particularly if the plant is not yet mature. You can discourage snails and slugs from eating your perennials by choosing plants with tougher or distasteful foliage. Consider planting these varieties of perennials to discourage slugs and snails from eating your flowers. Euphorbia and achillea are examples of slug-proof perennials.

If you want your garden full of flowers spring through summer, plant bulbs. Bulbs are usually very hearty and very easy to grow, and bulbs will grow year after year. Bulbs bloom during different seasons, if you pick them carefully you will have flowers almost all year.

TIP! Do you want fresh mint leaves without having to worry about them growing too quickly? You can slow their growth rate by planting them in a garden container or large pot instead. By using a separate containment unit, you are limiting the plant’s ability to spread its roots and subsequently grow like wildfire.

Pre-soak seeds overnight in a dark place. Place a couple of seeds in a tiny container, and fill it with water nearly to the top. This will keep seeds hydrated and help them to grow faster. Seeds that are cultivated this way are more likely to survive and mature properly.

Make a plan for your garden. Use your seed packages to make fun markers that will remind you where each type of plant is growing. It can also aid in identifying the less prominent fledgling plants that lie withing a larger landscaped garden.

TIP! Split up your irises. Increase your iris population when you divide up overgrown clumps.

Many people think the best green gardens start from seeds, rather than plants. As a green-friendly gardener, you always want to use seeds to start your new plot. It’s better for your garden, in particular, because transplants have high failure rates; whereas, sprouting a seed and growing a plant in the same conditions is better. Additionally, it’s better for the environment, because the plastic pots used by most greenhouses are generally not recycled and are cluttering landfills.

You have what you need and the skills to use these tips when horticulture. Good for you! The tips above will help you to improve your organic garden. With luck, you have learned something you can use to get the most from your garden.
