TIP! If you work with clay soil, you have probably found using a shovel very frustrating and exhausting. To make the clay soft so you aren’t working as hard, take floor or car wax and rub a light coat on the surface of the shovel using a clean cloth, then buff the surface.

Properly put down your sod. Before laying the sod, have your soil prepared. Remove weeds and break your soil until all the clumps are gone. Make sure the soil is packed firmly and even. Now make sure the soil is thoroughly dampened. You should lay your sod staggered, and have the joints offset. After the sod is in place, go over the surface to ensure everything is level. Use loose soil to fill in any gaps between seams. Sod must be watered every day for about two weeks, and then it will have rooted and be completely ready to be walked on.

The first thing you can do to ward off garden pests is to ensure you are using healthy soil in your garden. Healthy and well-nourished plants will be hardier and therefore better able to prevent pests from taking hold. If you want to get the best plants, begin with a soil that has hardly any chemicals, and that will bring salts.

TIP! If you are going to be doing some gardening, watch out for stink bugs, especially in the fall! Stink bugs are attracted to tomatoes, beans and most fruits. Decrease their presence as much as possible to avoid them wreaking havoc in your garden.

When fall has arrived, it is time to plant the edibles for the autumn. Try planting your fall veggies, especially leafy greens, inside of a pumpkin! Clean out the pumpkin just like you would if you were making a jack o’lantern. Spray Wilt-Pruf inside the pumpkin and along its edges so that the pumpkin won’t rot. Now you can use the pumpkin as a planter.

In a dark area, pre-soak your seeds overnight. Place a couple seeds in each container, then fill it close to full with water. This will hydrate your seeds and it will cause them to grow faster. The seeds will have a better chance of surviving and maturing.

TIP! Tender deciduous shrubs are very fragile, so protect them. If you have them in pots, you need to guard them from cold weather that will damage or kill them.

Always make sure to mow your lawn to the appropriate length, always making sure that the cut is not too close. If you leave your grass a bit longer, the roots can grow deeper. This results in a lawn that is stronger and less likely to dry out. The shorter the grass, the shallower the roots, which makes the lawn more likely to develop brown patches.

Coffee Grounds

TIP! You should divide irises. Splitting up overgrown groups of irises will allow you to easily increase the number of irises in your garden.

Balance your alkaline soil with the acid found in used coffee grounds. Coffee grounds contain plenty of acid to get the soil back to a good balance. When you can eliminate excess alkaline from the soil, it makes what you are growing much healthier. This means your veggies will taste better, and your flowers will be more vibrant than ever.

As you can see, anybody can garden with the right knowledge. Most horticulture techniques apply to most plants but if you want to grow a singularly difficult flower, find specific information. If you use the tips you have learned from this article, your garden will bloom like never before.
