TIP! Sod should be laid properly. Get your soil ready before you lay your sod.

Clay is difficult to dig through with a shovel, as it is sticky and compact. Simplify the process by putting a bit of wax onto the shovel. The clay won’t stick then. The clay easily slides off the surface while keeping the end from getting rusty.

If a test indicates that your soil is very alkaline, you can mix the dirt with used coffee grounds. Used coffee grounds will add acidity, helping to optimize the soil’s pH. The greens and vegetables need the proper balance and will grow bigger and stronger with the right mix.

TIP! Turn the handles of tools you have on hand into rulers to make measurements in your garden. Tools with long handles, such as rakes, hoes, and shovels can be converted into handy measuring sticks.

Protect your delicate shrubs from harsh, wintry elements. Tender shrubs are very sensitive to cold weather, especially those that are planted in pots. Tie these canes at the top, and place a blanket over it. This method is superior to covering plants in plastic, because air can freely circulate, which prevents rotting.

Do you want fresh mint leaves without having to worry about them growing too quickly? Rein their growth; you can do this simply by planting mint inside a larger garden container or pot. You can plant the container into the soil if you want to, but the container will restrict the roots, and make sure that the plant doesn’t run rampant in your garden.

TIP! For the right results, get the right type of soil. You should choose your soil depending on the plants that you are going to plant.

It is possible to use natural materials as well as other plants to help keep pests away from your garden. Slugs are repelled by bordering your vegetable garden with either onions or marigolds. You can also prevent insect pests by using wood ash like mulch around your trees and shrubs. Using these natural methods will reduce the need for potentially harmful chemical pesticides.

If you are going to grow peas, start them inside rather then planting them outdoors. Seeds that are planted indoors will enjoy superior germination. Seedlings raised indoors are hardier, too; they can stand up better to diseases and insects. Transplant them outside when they are fully established and able to thrive.

TIP! You must be sure to remove all of the weeds that grow in your garden. Unwanted weeds fight for the same nutrients that more desirable plants do, and they also are unsightly.

Take a look at planting berry-producing evergreens in your yard. These plants will look good year-round, even during the winter, when your other plants have lost their bloom. The American Holly, American Cranberrybush, the Winterberry, and the Common Snowberry help provide color during the winter.

Now you should be ready to get gardening. If you think that you were ready before, you should see yourself now. If you use the tips you have learned from this article, your garden will bloom like never before.
