With the current organic trend, holistic lifestyles are common these days. It makes sense that people
who make the choice to live this way can benefit from organic gardening. This article provides
several useful tips on organic gardening that can help.
Start your plants in containers before transferring them to the garden. They are more likely to
survive the transition to adulthood with this method. This also helps tighten time between plantings.
As soon as the mature plants are removed, you can replace them with fresh seedlings.
Starting a garden with the best soil is a great defense mechanism against pests. If you are producing
healthy plants, they will be stronger and better able to resist bugs and diseases. For the most
vigorous and healthy plants, start with high-quality soil, and stay away from chemicals. These can
accumulate salts over time.
If you want to grow vegetables in you backyard, it is vital that you place them in an area where they
could get roughly six hours of sun on a daily basis. Many types of veggies require this amount in
order to thrive and produce the food source that you are hoping for. Many flowers also require
adequate sunlight to flourish.
If you want to effectively weed out young plants, you can try "boiling" away the weeds. Any vessel of
boiling water that you can carry safely can be used as an organic herbicide. Pour the boiling water
directly onto the weeds, just make sure you do not damage the nearby plants. Boiling water is not
good for the weed roots and will stunt further growth.
Protect your plants from moisture on a daily basis. Moisture on the surfaces of your plants is an
invitation to pests and illness. Fungi commonly afflict a number of plants. Fungicidal spray
treatments can contain fungi, but spraying prior to problems even developing in the first place is the
best way to go about it.
Do you like mint, but not how they ruin your garden? Instead of planting mint in the ground, confine
it to a large pot. You can then plant the container down in the ground if you like, but the walls of the
container will hold the roots captive, and keep the plant from taking over your garden!
The more information you have on the subject of organic horticulture, the more proficient you will
become. Remember that these tips are only the starting point.
