There is no better time than now! You may have concerns about logistics, but do not fear! The following article will outline the straight facts you need to start a beautiful garden. In the following paragraphs you will find insights and ideas you can apply to your horticulture dreams.
Plant perennials that slugs and snails won’t be interested in eating. A plant can be completely demolished overnight by slugs and snails. They’re particularly fond of perennials with smooth and thin leaves, especially if the plants are young. Some perennials are not preferred meals for snails and slugs, especially if their foliage is hairy and tough, or tastes bad. Excellent varieties include heuchera, achillea, euphorbia, campanula, and helleborus.
Make sure to be weary of stink bugs whenever you garden, particularly during the fall months. Fruits, peppers and tomatoes are among the foods they love to eat. If you don’t treat them, they can do a lot of damage in your garden.
If you want your garden to sport flowers in the spring as well as summer, plant bulbs. A hardy perennial addition to your garden, bulbs will continue to delight every year. If you choose your plants carefully, you could have flowers in blossom from the first weeks of spring to the end of the summer.
Take extra care of any fragile shrubs that are known to drop their leaves in the autumn. Shrubs in pots especially need special care in the colder weather. Join them together at the top, and use a blanket or old sheet to cover them. This method works better than covering your bushes in plastic, allowing air to circulate and preventing rotting.
A good green garden should start from seeds and not plants. When opening a garden, the most green method of beginning is from seed. Plastic used in nurseries normally end up in landfills. For an garden that helps the environment, plant seeds directly in the garden’s soil or purchase plants grown in organic packaging.
Pest control is very difficult if you are dealing with your veggie garden. It’s wise to avoid harsh insecticides if you plan on consuming your fresh fruits and vegetables. One way to control horticulture pests is to be vigilant. Natural pest control depends on the type of soil in your garden and the variety of plants growing there.
