Organic gardening can either be a wonderful hobby, or a nuisance nightmare. Here are some suggestions to get you on the right path to successful organic horticulture.

TIP! Digging in clay soil with a shovel can be very difficult. The clay isn’t easy to work with and will adhere to the shovel, which only makes the problem worse.

To prevent your plants’ systems from becoming shocked, you need to gradually transition them from higher to lower temperatures. Try placing them outside in sunlight for about an hour or maybe two the first day. Gradually increase the the time they spend outside over a one week period. Once the transition is complete, your plants will probably be able to tolerate the outdoor conditions.

Climbing Plants

TIP! Plants that result in a larger yield should be higher on your priority list when planning the garden. In most circumstances, a cold-tolerant or disease-resistant hybrid will have a higher yield when compared to a more traditional variety.

Cover fences and walls with climbing plants. Climbing plants are extremely versatile, helping to hide an ugly fence or wall, often within one growing season. They can cover an arbor, or grow through trees and shrubs. Some may need to be attached to a support, and others will attach themselves to any surface using their twining stems or tendrils. Some of the most reliable varieties are wisteria, clematis, jasmine, honeysuckle and climbing roses.

When it’s autumn, it’s time to start planting all of your fall edibles. This year, instead of using your regular clay pots to plant your kale and lettuce, use a pumpkin as the container instead! Cut an opening in the pumpkin and scoop the insides out. Then spray the edges and empty inside of the pumpkin with Wilt-Pruf so the pumpkin doesn’t rot. Once you’ve done that, you can plant!

TIP! If you see mildew that is powdery, stay away from expensive chemicals to treat it. Instead, combine baking soda with water and liquid soap.

You could try to boil weeds if you are trying to remain organic. Boiling water in a pot is a safe “herbicide.” One simple layer across the weeds with a pot of boiling water will take care of the problem, but you have to remember the same applies to your plants, as well. The boiling water will damage the roots of the weeds and will usually prevent further growth.

Natural materials or some other plants can be used in your garden for keeping away pests. For example, planting a border consisting of marigolds or onions can repel slugs. Wood ash also makes a great insect deterrent; simply use it as mulch around your shrub and tree seedlings. Using these methods eliminates your need of chemical pesticides.

TIP! Use climbers if you want to cover any fences or walls. Climbing plants are extremely versatile, helping to hide an ugly fence or wall, often within one growing season.

Give peas a head start by sprouting them indoors. By initially planting them indoors, the seeds tend to germinate better. They will also be stronger, and better equipped to resist disease and insects. You could transplant the seedlings outdoors once they are able to survive and thrive.

Organic gardening does take some effort, but anyone can do if they approach it with the right attitude. It involves lots of work as well as patience, but it’s so worth it when you see your beautiful organic garden. By following the above tips, you are well on your way to increasing your organic horticulture skills.
