Horticulture is a relaxing, rewarding pastime for many and offers a long list of benefits. Displaying your beautiful flowers and eating the fruits and vegetables grown in your garden will give you a great sense of accomplishment. This article can lend you a helping hand, and give you important pointers about gardening and growing things.

TIP! Biennials and annuals are great if you would like to better your flower bed. Fast growing biennials and annuals can enliven a flower bed while letting you change up the look each season and year.

Digging in hard clay soil is made even more difficult because it sticks to the shovel. To ease the digging, apply some car wax or floor wax to the head of the shovel and buff. The clay will no longer stick to the shovel, and this also helps to prevent other problems like rusting.

Plant seeds in pots that have a rich soil to give them a strong start. Your plants will have a better chance of getting big and healthy! This also enables you to close gaps between planting cycles. As soon as you harvest the mature plants in your garden, your new seedlings will be large enough to plant outside!

TIP! If you start to notice some powdery mildew growing on your plants, there is no need to waste money on expensive chemicals. All you need to do is mix baking soda with a tiny bit of liquid soap in with some water.

Use the handles of your tools as a handy ruler when doing your outdoor chores. Handles of things such as rakes, hoes or shovels make excellent measuring instruments. Place the handles on the ground and measure them. Use a bright permanent marker and label the distances. When you are at work in the garden, you will always have a handy measuring device on each and every tool.

Starting a garden with the best soil is a great defense mechanism against pests. If your plants are healthy, they can more easily resist insects and disease. Begin with a high-quality soil with less chemicals to avoid salt accumulation, and you give your garden an excellent chance of growing healthy plants.

TIP! Bulbs are the best solution to get flowers in spring and in summer. Bulbs are generally very simple to grow and hearty, as well; they will continue to grow for years.

When it’s autumn, it’s time to start planting all of your fall edibles. Rather than putting standard clay vessels into use when planting crops of lettuce and kale, think about using pumpkins instead. To use the pumpkin as a planter, it is important to prevent it from rotting. To do this, you simply spray the entire inside and any edges with a gardening spray called Wilt-Pruf. This is done after you’ve opened the pumpkin at the top and removed the insides. Now you can use the pumpkin as a planter.

If your garden includes vegetables, make sure you plant them in a location whether they are exposed to sunlight for a minimum of six hours each day. Proper sunlight is a prerequisite for proper growth. This is true for flowers as well.

TIP! Grow some plants that cats like to eat – try catnip or wheat grass. You can put something over the soil which surrounds the plants which has a bad smell to cats to deter them.

As has been noted above, there are many rewards inherent in gardening. The benefits from a garden range from being able to eat great home grown food, to having a good looking flower garden that adds to the aesthetics of your home. Apply these tips to make sure you do everything properly for better results.
