Properly applying different techniques for organic gardening pays off in the long run. It demonstrates that you are concerned about the environment as well as the health of your plants. This is a great thing. As with anything, there is always room for improvement. Below are a collection of organic horticulture tips that will help you to develop your talent.
To prevent your plants from getting shocked by a big change, get them gradually used to climate and temperature changes. Put them outdoors in the sun for no more than two hours the first day. As time goes by, slowly increase the time they spent outdoors. Once the transition is complete, your plants will probably be able to tolerate the outdoor conditions.
Autumn not only means colder weather but new vegetables to plant. This time, use a pumpkin for the container for your lettuce and kale, instead of plain clay pots. When you have finished cutting and cleaning the pumpkin, spray it with some liquid that will stave off wilting to keep it from rotting. Once you have finished, you can begin planting.
If you have a vegetable garden, it is crucial they are kept in a spot with at least six hours of sun each day. Most vegetables need this amount of sunlight to grow the right way at a faster pace. Some flowers have the same requirement for growth.
Using natural materials in the garden will keep pests away. A border of onions or marigolds around a vegetable garden can repel slug. If you place wood ash around the base portion of a shrub seedling or tree, you will ward off insect pests. Natural materials and plants can be just as effective as chemical pesticides at keeping unwanted visitors out of your garden!
Start your peas in a protected indoors environment rather than outside. When you plant them indoors first, the seeds will germinate better. The baby plants will also be stronger and will resist pests and disease better. After the seedlings have grown strong indoors, it will be time for you to transplant them to outdoor beds.
Make a plant you love the focal point of your garden. In any good garden design, a focal point will grab the eye and hold it there. The focal point should be a plant totally different from the others around it.
