Depending on the effort you put into it, an organic garden can be a great pleasure or a great pain. This list of tips should help you become a successful organic gardener.
When laying sod, it is important that you do it correctly. Your soil should be prepared before you lay the sod. Remove the weeds, then break up the soil into fine tilth. Make sure your soil is flat and compacted. Moisten the soil thoroughly. Lay the sod in rows, and make sure the joints do not overlap. Pat your sod to form an even and flat surface, fill any gaps with some soil. Sod must be watered every day for about two weeks, and then it will have rooted and be completely ready to be walked on.
The handles of your tools can double as clever rulers. Tools that can be used for more than one task are quite handy to own. After laying the handles on the floor, run the measuring tape along beside them. With a permanent marker, note pertinent measurements on the tool handle. When you decide to work in the garden again, you will now have a ruler at your disposal.
Pick the proper soil in order to get the best outcome. The kind of plants you want in your garden should let you know what kind of soil you need to get. You could also isolate a certain area, and fill it with just one kind of soil.
Try to grow some wheat or cat grass around your cat’s favorite plants. In addition, you could put an item on the soil’s top around the plants which has a smell that cats hate, such as citrus peel or mothballs.
Do not cut your grass too short. If you leave some of the grass when you mow, the roots grow further into the ground, which makes the grass less prone to drying and other hazards. The shorter the grass is, the shorter the roots are, which leads to a dry lawn.
Start a new garden from seeds. As a green-friendly gardener, you always want to use seeds to start your new plot. The problem is those plastic trays which end up in landfills and are not generally recycled. Plants in organic packagingn or seeds sown in your garden, are fine .
