Simple Techniques For A Wonderful, Thriving Garden
When it comes to gardening the green way, every organic garden needs extra TLC. With knowledge, your gardening skill will improve dramatically. While the garden itself is important, your real goal is to grow great tasting produce that is healthy and does no harm to the environment or the consumer. Use this advice to have your organic garden become the best around.

Your tool handles can easily be used as handy rulers. Tools with substantial handles, like rakes, hoes and large shovels are great for taking measurements. Just lay your tool down on the floor then lay a yardstick beside the handle. Use a permanent marker to label distances. When the need arises to measure something while in your garden, the measuring tool you need will literally be "on hand," sketched into the handles of your tools.

Annuals and biennials are an excellent way to add a splash of bright color to your flower gardens. Your flower beds will look different from one season to another. They can be used to fill in gaps in your garden between the perennials or shrubs so your garden looks fuller. Notable varieties include cosmos, rudbeckia, petunia, hollyhock, marigold and sunflower.

Always make sure to mow your lawn to the appropriate length, always making sure that the cut is not too close. If you let your grass grow, the roots will go deeper and make your lawn more resistant to dryness. Grass that is shorter has a root system that is easier to dry out.

If you want a strange, yet successful, green answer to getting rid of weeds, boil them to death. Boiling water is an excellent, organic substance for use against weeds. Just pour out the water on the weeds being careful to avoid any nearby plants. The roots of the weeds are damaged by the boiling water which, in turn, inhibits further growth.

Think about adding some berry-producing evergreens to your landscaping. These year-round berries will give the rest of your yard a much-needed pop of color, especially in the winter. Other winter plants include the American Holly, Winterberry, The American Cranberrybush and the Common Snowberry.

Organic horticulture will help you create a truly fresh and nutritious garden. It may take a ton of work, but it is worth it.
