Baking Soda

If you start to notice some powdery mildew growing on your plants, there is no need to waste money on expensive chemicals. Mix a little liquid soap and baking soda in water. Spray this mixture on your plants weekly until the mildew is gone. Baking soda will bring no damage to your plants, and will treat the mildew in a gentle and efficient manner.

TIP! You can make your flower beds brighter with biennials and annuals. Fast growing biennials and annuals will brighten a garden and permit you to change looks from one season to another.

When winter comes, you can save a few plants by transferring them inside the house. Perhaps save the most resistant or expensive plants. Dig carefully around their roots and place them into a pot.

Plants need ample amounts of CO2 to reach their maximum growth. Most plants will grow better with more CO2. A greenhouse will provide plants with an environment rich in carbon dioxide. Make sure to keep CO2 levels high to provide the best growing environment for your plants.

TIP! Cover the fences and walls with climbers. 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.

Try growing some cat grass or wheat grass in the vicinity of the plants that your cat likes to eat. You can also try to offend the cats sense of smell with orange rinds or mothballs.

Coffee Grounds

TIP! Check your soil before you begin planting your garden. There are soil testing services that can analyze a garden’s soil content for a small charge.

Balance your alkaline soil with the acid found in used coffee grounds. Using coffee grounds is a less expensive way to make your soil more acidic than trying to replace your topsoil. The greens and vegetables need the proper balance and will grow bigger and stronger with the right mix.

Come up with a gardening plan before planting anything. Doing this makes it easier to keep track of where you planted what when you first start to see sprouts. It can also aid in identifying the less prominent fledgling plants that lie withing a larger landscaped garden.

TIP! If you are gardening, be wary of stink bugs in your garden, especially in the autumn. Stink bugs prefer peppers, beans, tomatoes, and various varieties of fruits.

A green garden needs to begin with seeds, not plants. Starting with your own seeds is more environmentally friendly than buying plants from a nursery. Plastic used in nurseries normally end up in landfills. For an garden that helps the environment, plant seeds directly in the garden’s soil or purchase plants grown in organic packaging.

Read instructions before using any gardening tool you aren’t familiar with, including pesticides or other chemicals. Use the tools only as directed in the instructions. It may seem simple enough, but not following it could lead to chemical burns and skin irritations. So make sure you take precautions, follow the simple directions and be safe.

TIP! When dealing with any type of seeds in gardening, it’s important that you soak them overnight in a cool, dark location. Drop some seeds into a small glass or other container, and fill it with water.

This article should give you a good idea why organic horticulture is a great activity. Growing a garden the right way is a rewarding and relaxing experience. By using the tips in this article, you will soon be enjoying the fruits of your labor!
