wondrous and bountiful land of gardening for the very
first time might feel a tad bit daunting, but by keeping the
helpful tips listed below in mind, you will soon find
yourself growing all kinds of vegetables and flowers, on
par with some of the best gardeners around.
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.

Run your fingernails across a bar of soap before you go

out to weed or plant in your garden. The soap that
collected under your nails will prevent the collection of
dirt while you work. Afterward, a simple scrub with a nail
brush will remove the soap and leave your hands clean,
with much less effort.
If you notice powdery mildew on your plants, do not buy
an expensive chemical. Mix a bit of liquid soap and some
baking soda into water. Spray this mixture on your plants
weekly until the mildew is gone. Your plants will not be
harmed by the baking soda, but the mildew will definitely
not like it!

Create a unique visual effect with a hanging basket. A

hanging basket full of spring or summer flowers can
brighten up a bare wall or a dreary back yard. A
traditional hanging basket is made of wire and lined with
moss. The moss is helpful in retaining moisture. You can
create a spectacular display by not only planting in the
basket itself, but by inserting hanging plants in the gaps in
the wire mesh. The mesh and surrounding moss with
ensure that the plants stay secure.

You can dry herbs by putting them in your car. You can
neatly arrange them on a sheet of newspaper in a single
layer. Then close the doors and windows and let it air dry.
The warmth in the car will dry the herbs quickly. The
herbs themselves will create a very nice aroma.

Plant your garden in stages. Put in a new vegetable every

week, or plant vegetables with different maturation speeds
when you do your planting. This helps prevent you from
having a large harvest all at once, and will better allow
you to enjoy the fruits (and vegetables!) of your labors.

Do not give your garden too much fertilizer. Providing

fertilizer to your plants allows them to better make food
from sunlight. Too much fertilizer, however, can cause
your plant to grow too fast, which prevents it from
fruiting or flowering. The excess chemicals left in your
soil can wash away and pollute the local ground water.

Use approximately two or three inches of natural, organic

material as some mulch in every single flower bed. This
practice is an easy way to discourage weeds, retain
moisture, and add valuable nutrients to your garden.
Mulch will also improve the general appearance of your
flower beds.

renewing your beds with this method: slice under the turf
and turn it over. Cover it with wood chips and wait a few
weeks. You can then use this bed to plant your perennial
plants. The ground you have turned over should be made
richer by the turf that is under it.

Use mulch to fertilize your beds. You have to make sure

you spread mulch evenly, as you need a certain quantity
and do not want to waste any of it. Sprinkle mulch as best
as you can and use a rack to spread it flatly and evenly.
Make sure you cover all the areas that need it.

Encourage toads to take up residence in your organic

garden. Toads are a natural predator of many of the pesky
bugs that will eat and destroy your crops. Create
makeshift toad houses out of overturned broken clay pots
and keep soil nice and moist to make it conducive to
amphibian life.
A good way to plant seeds is in containers. Plant them
three times as deep as their overall size. However, you
should always know that some seeds cannot be covered,
even the slightest bit, because they need to be in direct
sunlight. Some typical examples are petunias and
ageratum. If you are unsure about the specific needs of
your seeds, you should consult your local garden center or
conduct further research online. Important things to look
for include water requirements, ideal soil type, and
recommended sunlight exposure.

a great hobby, but also a way to feel at peace with the
earth. Organic gardening will accomplish that feeling
even more so. This kind of gardening keeps you more
involved in planting, cultivating and harvesting, giving
you a clearer picture of the entire life cycle of each plant.

Never use 'unfinished' compost in your garden.

Unfinished, meaning still 'hot' compost can burn plants or
bulbs if you try to amend your soil. An excessive smell of
ammonia means that the compost hasn't broken down
sufficiently. You can work unfinished compost into a
patch of bare soil, but be careful not to plant anything in
the area for at least one week.

After reading and applying the helpful tips listed above,

you should feel a bit more at ease in the land of
gardening. You have the tools and now, you need to use
them. You should feel inspired and ready to begin your
gardening journey to grow more beautiful and delicious,
plants and crops.
