An organic garden is an interest you have. It’s the perfect time to begin! This article contains helpful adivce to get you started in your organic gardening endeavors.
Involve the whole family in your gardening hobby; children find growing things to be very interesting. They will enjoy learning about nature and bonding with you.
Strawberries are a good organic garden choice for families with strawberries, particularly everbearing strawberries. Your children will enjoy being able to pick strawberries and will be ready to help you if they can get something sweet to eat.
When working in the garden, try to work as efficiently as possible. Have your tools laid out in an orderly way so you do not have to search for them. Set up the tools you will need for your day prior to hitting the garden, then put them away neatly at the end of your gardening session. You can keep your garden tools in a tool belt, or in your pockets. Another good idea is to keep them all in a bucket that you carry around with you.
Perennial gardens should be prepared easily and quickly in the ground. With a garden spade, slice under the dirt then flip it over. Next, spread out wood chips several inches deep. Give the area a couple of weeks, then dig into it and plant your new perennials.
Cover your flower beds with two or three inches of compost or organic mulch. By doing this, you can lock in moisture, discourage weed growth, and nourish your plants. This also gives your flower beds a more aesthetic aspect.
Make gardening efficient. One of the biggest time wasters is not keeping track of your tools and having to look for them every time you need them. By keeping your tools in a certain area, they will always be ready whenever you are. Even something like a carpenter’s tool belt or some cargo jeans work well to keep tools organized.
The more skills about organic gardening you can learn, gardening will become that much easier for you. Don’t forget that this advice is just the beginning.
