5 Tips To Make Organic Gardening Easier
from: Cindy MauroOrganic gardening has many advantages and this article will
offer you 5 tips to make organic gardening easier.
Organic Gardening Tip #1: Mulch your trees and flower beds with
3" of organic material. When you use this organic gardening tip
you will be able to add humus and nutrients. You can also
conserve water and keep weeds at bay. If you are growing plants
that need acid you can use a thick layer of pine needles.
Organic gardening with pine needle mulch will be perfect if used
in the fall because over the course of the winter they will
decompose and the needed acid will be added naturally to the
soil.
Organic Gardening Tip #2: You need to maintain healthy soil if
you want to be successful at organic gardening. The most
important step in maintaining healthy soil while engaged in
organic gardening is to keep on top of pest management. When
pests are controlled in organic gardening the plants will be
healthy and more able to withstand insect and disease damage. If
you are bothered while organic gardening with aphids you can
spray the infested leaves, stems and buds with a diluted
solution of soapy water followed with clear water.
Organic Gardening Tip #3: Try composting as part of your organic
gardening regimen. When you make composting part of organic
gardening you will improve the texture, soil structure and
aeration. Composting also increases the capacity for the soil to
hold water. There are organic and natural ways to fertilize when
you are organic gardening. Try these instead of chemical
fertilizers.
Organic Gardening Tip #4: Organic gardening gardeners should
always keep in mind the best plants for their soil, sun,
temperature range and shade. All these factors come into play
while organic gardening. Choosing well-adapted plant types is a
way to ensure successful organic gardening. When you landscape
your yard using organic gardening strategies you can increase
your original investment by as much as 200%.
Organic Gardening Tips #5: Organic gardening shade gardens are
low maintenance. You will need less water and have fewer weeds
to deal with. Speaking of weeds; try using full-strength
household vinegar on a sunny day. Just spray on the plants and

pets, wildlife and the environment.
