For The Love Of Gardening: Organic Gardening Advice
Taking a step into the wondrous and green land of organic gardening for the very first time might feel a tad bit intimidating, but by keeping the helpful tips listed below in mind, you will soon find yourself growing organic plants on par with some of the best organic gardeners in the field.
Don't use chemicals near a water source. If you have a pond in your garden, or live near a creek or stream, never apply chemicals to plants. They can leach into the soil and make their way into the local water source. Even if you think you are applying the chemical topically, it will make its way into the soil via the roots.
When planting your tomatoes in your organic garden, you should always be sure you water them very deeply, but you shouldn't water them frequently because this can damage them. You should aim to water them around once a week except for during the summer when you should water them every five days.
If your garden includes plants that prefer acidic soil, such as begonias, roses, and strawberries, you should mulch with a generous layer (two to three inches) of discarded pine needles at the beginning of the autumnal season. As the pine needles slowly decompose, they will release trace amounts of acid into the soil.
The best time to pick most home-grown herbs is at the break of dawn in the morning when you see dew on the plants. Picking the youngest shoots give the best flavor and helps keep the plant pruned. Most herbs can be frozen in zipped plastic bags and will keep fine for up to six months.
So, after reading and applying the helpful tips listed above, you should feel a bit more at ease in the land of organic gardening. You have the tools, and it's time to use them. You should feel excited and ready to begin your organic gardening adventure to grow healthier organic produce.
