Welcome to the world of organic gardening! As you can see it is a very big world complete with all kinds of seed, tools, and so much more. The fact that organic gardening can be very personal can make it seem a bit impossible to find where to start. The tips below can help give you some suggestions.
Properly lay your sod. You will need to prepare your lawn soil before laying the sod. Pull any weeds and break up any clods of soil. Make sure your soil is flat and compacted. Thoroughly water the soil. Lay the sod in rows, and make sure the joints do not overlap. After the sod is in place, go over the surface to ensure everything is level. Use loose soil to fill in any gaps between seams. After two weeks of daily watering, the sod should be rooted; at this time, it is now safe to walk on it.
For the fall season, plant a few fall edible plants in your garden containers. Beautiful selections of kale and mustard greens, have lovely shades of greens and purples and offer different textures to the arrangement. Add a few edible pansies to bring color to the green textures. The combination is fetching and will last well into the winter.
A great gardening tip is to do all your gardening work minus the watering early in the morning. Sometimes working in the garden can take several hours and it behooves one to not do this at the hottest time of the day. This will help prevent heat related illness like heat stroke.
Planting a bare-root rose. Bare-root roses are best planted at the beginning of their dormant period to lessen the shock of transplanting. If the roots look dry, soak them in a bucket of water for a few hours before planting. Remove diseased or damaged stems, and trim any thick roots by a third. Place the rose in a freshly dug hole, spreading out the roots and checking that the bud union is slightly above ground level. Backfill with soil and water thoroughly.
Although railroad ties may look very nice in your garden, the chemicals in them, are thought to be hazardous and toxic to the health of the garden, so consider alternatives. Natural wood is easy to find and will add a beautiful touch to your garden.
During the hot season, water your lawn a couple of hours before the sun rises. If you water during the day, much of the water will evaporate before it gets a chance to be absorbed into the ground. When you water before the sunrise, the water will have a chance to go deep into the soil, allowing the roots to absorb the water.
