Make sure to lay the sod properly. Get your soil ready before you lay the sod. Thoroughly weed the soil, and work it into a fine, smooth tilth. Gently compact the soil until it is flattened. The soil should always receive adequate moisture. Sod must be arranged in staggered rows; each joint should offset one another. Make sure the sod is firmly placed to ensure a surface that is sufficiently flat and even. Also, make sure to use soil to fill the areas where there are gaps in the sod. You will have to water the sod every day for 2 weeks, and then it should be firmly rooted to the ground, and able to be walked on.
The handles on your horticulture tools can be used as a convenient measuring instrument. You can use shovels or rakes as measuring sticks. Place the handles on the floor to measure the distance between them. You can label distances using a permanent marker. When the need arises to measure something while in your garden, the measuring tool you need will literally be “on hand,” sketched into the handles of your tools.
Use climbers to cover walls and fences. Known commonly as climbers, these plants are very versatile, easy to grow, and they will quickly spread out to cover up walls and fences within a single season. They may also grow through tress and shrubs that are already grown, or you can train them to cover your arbor. Some require ties attaching them to supports, but others will attach themselves to any surface nearby. Excellent varieties include honeysuckle, wisteria, jasmine, climbing roses and clematis.
When you are tending your garden in the fall, be on the alert for stink bugs. They like to feast on all kinds of fruits, as well as peppers, tomatoes, and beans. Decrease their presence as much as possible to avoid them wreaking havoc in your garden.
Fall edibles are a wonderful addition to your garden. This year, instead of using your regular clay pots to plant your kale and lettuce, use a pumpkin as the container instead! Once you cut an opening at the top of the pumpkin and scoop out the insides, spray the inside and edges with Wilt-Pruf to keep the pumpkin from rotting. Once you’ve done that, you can plant!
Mint Leaves
If you would love to have access to fresh and healthy mint leaves from your own back yard, but dread the way the plant spreads so quickly, worry not. You can slow down this growth by planting them inside a pot or container! If you would like the mint leaves to still be in the ground, simply plant the container, and the leaves will stay within the boundaries of the pot.
It only requires some research, lots of outside work, and a large amount of patience. Your efforts will be rewarded by a great garden, and the satisfaction of having created something yourself.
