Simple Things All Organic Gardeners Should Know
Well, you've decided to enter into organic gardening. That is exciting, except for the fact that there is so much information and you haven't a clue where to begin. Don't worry, organic gardening tips are here! Listed below are some tips that will help you get started and organized so that you can become a successful organic gardener.
Use compost to improve the quality of your soil. Compost comes from the breakdown of natural vegetation, and it is organic. It improves the structure of your soil by making it less dense, thus allowing better water permeability. Compost can also be used to balance the pH level of your soil.
Plant Zinnias in full sun, good soil with lots of compost added; give them about one inch of water a week. Avoid wetting foliage, as some are prone to powdery mildew. Clip spent blooms often to keep each plant producing flowers, or cut just above the next branch emerging for beautiful cut flowers.
Don't use chemicals to clean your patio or deck. They will wash off onto your lawn or plants causing irreparable damage. Any run-off will leach into the soil destroying the roots of the plants. Use plain or soapy water to clean the patio, and feel free to pressure wash your deck, but just use plain water.
Keep your fertilizers and pesticides organic. It may seem like an odd fact, but residential gardeners use a ton more chemicals than actual farmers do. This causes big problems for vegetation, fish, and wildlife. Urban areas are polluted enough without the chemical dumping. Do your part and avoid chemicals at all costs.
Now, don't you feel better after reading those tips? That was a lot of information to process, but at least now you know what to do and where to begin with your organic gardening plans. Plus, you can always refer back to the above list of tips if you forget.
