Beginner Tips Part 3
More beginner tips:
- If you are landscaping your yard, remember that curved gardens grace the garden with a relaxed atmosphere.
- When you dig a hole for planting a tree or other large plant, be sure to loosen the soil along the sides of where your plant will be going. New roots like to have easy access to the soil until it is well established. This will enable your plant to develop a strong root system in a shorter amount of time, thus giving you a more established plant.
- When planting new trees or even small plants, be sure to give them plenty of water for the first couple of weeks to ensure their healthiness.
- Have bugs on your outside plants? Get a spray bottle and put a couple drops of dish soap in it. Then fill it with water, mix it up and spray your plants with it. Be sure not to use a anti-bacterial dish soap. A half an hour later, rinse the plants with fresh water.
- Like every one else you will probably develop some weeds. Try spraying it with some household vinegar. Use the vinegar full strength.
- When developing your compost pile, remember that air circulation is key. The pile settles after a while, closing the air pockets. This is why you must turn your compost pile regularly.
- If you are container gardening, group the containers together with the taller ones in the back. With the right containers you can create an attractive arrangement.
- Your container garden will be more pleasing to the eye if you use plant stands.
- When container gardening it is important to create one focal point, then arrange your other containers around it.
- Try adding some Solar Lights, 2 pack
to your garden. Highlight several areas or just one main area.
