The effort and knowledge you put into your garden shows in the results, particularly when you are working with organic material. When you care about plants, they can grow up and be healthy. That is a great trait to have. Like with any other skill set, you can always add and improve. The following article will help you do that.
You can help your plants resist disease by spraying them with aspirin water. Dissolve aspirin (1.5 pills per 2 gallons of water) in a bucket and administer to your plants. Then spray your plants with this mixture to stave off diseases. Spray them once about every three weeks.
After your seeds have sprouted, heat lamps are not needed. As they begin growing you can move them farther away from heat sources. You can now take off any protective coverings on your plants that were there to shield them from the elements. Watch your seeds closely to find the right time to do this.
To be more efficient when working in your organic garden, have your tools close at hand. You should use a large pail and wear sturdy pants that have several pockets. Have shears, a trowel, gloves and other commonly used garden tools portable and easy to access.
When the time comes to harvest your produce, collect it using an old laundry basket. An old laundry basket makes an excellent strainer for cleaning your produce. While your freshly harvested fruits and vegetables are still in the basket, rinse them off and any excess water will run off through the laundry basket holes.
Have plastic bags on hand to put over dirty gardening shoes. This way, you can maintain your momentum and head right back to your garden so that you can finish what you were doing.
When you are planning on growing a garden, you should think about the space you will need to provide a healthy growing area for your plants. People often underestimate how much space plants will need when once they’re grown. This will give you enough room to work around your garden without smashing any plants. Plan your garden carefully and leave enough space between the seeds.
You can grow a great organic garden if you decide to dedicate your time and efforts to it. For the best possible results, one must be willing to put forth a lot of energy into their gardening. If you use the advice in this article, you will soon see great results from your organic garden.
