Top Tips For A Thriving Organic Garden
Some homeowners put a great deal of care and detail into their yards. From ponds and stone walkways to rose beds and gazebos, people take landscaping seriously. Something that may look good in your yard this year is an organic garden. If you're not sure about how to garden organically, here are some tips.
You don't just have to plant things that are going to be eaten by you in your organic garden. Try planting some flowers too. You can use annuals for one-season color. You do not want to use everywhere though since replacing a lot of them can be very expensive. Try planting them in a few small areas.
Keep your soil healthy, when you keep your soil healthy, you won't require chemical fertilizers. Residential users of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides apply more pounds per acre of these chemicals than farmers do. As these pollutants run off, they get into the water supply and become harmful to other plants, animals and humans.
Get rid of slugs and snails in the organic garden. As small as they are, slugs and snails can eat entire plants in one night. They thrive in moist conditions below 75 degrees. The best (and possibly most humane way) is to use beer traps to rid your garden of slugs and snails. Simply place stale beer in a shallow pan, the lip of which should be at ground level. The slugs and snails are attracted to the beer and will crawl in. This way they will leave this world happy and inebriated.
An organic garden might not have the appeal of a pond with those orange-colored koi, but you will certainly get a lot more out of your garden "literally" than you'll get out of ornamental fish or some fancy stone tiles in the yard. Take advantage of organics by learning how to garden from the article above.
