Making Gardening Easy For Just About Anyone

What better time than now? You most likely have a head full of questions and concerns

regarding how you should begin, and then what to do once you actually have. Luckily, you'll

be able to find some answers to those concerns in the paragraphs below. Listed below is

some very valuable advice that will help tint your thumb green, and bring you gardening

success.

When winter arrives, you can save some plants by placing them in your home. You can save

the ones you spent the most money on or the ones that are resistant. Cautiously avoid the

roots while digging, and put your plant into a perfectly sized pot.

You should always take careful note of the recommended watering schedule for your plants;

too much or too little can be damaging. This is important, because your plants can develop

root rot and die if they receive too much water, and if they receive too little water, they can

dry out. Check the moisture level of your soil to determine if it is getting adequate water.

There should be no rush when you are planting a seed. Begin by adding moisture to the dirt.

Your seeds should be spaced out evenly so they aren't overcrowded. This will ensure that

they can grow. Look at how big the seeds are, multiply that by three, and plant them down

into the earth accordingly. Read the seed pack as some varieties shouldn't be covered with

soil because they require light to sprout.

Always have a plan for the garden prior to the start of planting it. That way, if you see your

plants beginning to bud but can't recall what they are, you can refer back to your plan to

refresh your memory. In addition, your small plants or groups of plants that are limited in

number won't become lost if you have a large garden.

One method of gathering layers of materials for a compost pile is to simply stick the materials

in bigger plastic garbage bags. You can do this in the fall after you rake up all the leaves.

Place the leaves in bags and store them someplace warm. Once spring rolls around, your

yard will also have soil substance perfect for addition to the compost pile.

Try using root cuttings to grow new plants. The roots are dormant in the winter, so that is

when they should be cut. Use a sharp knife to remove the thickest and longest roots from the

plant. Each root should be cut into lengths of about two inches. Place the cut up roots on top

of a seed tray that his been filled with healthy soil. Cover it with a small layer of grit and peat.

Wait a month after you put it in a colder place and you'll get new seedlings. Plant each

seedling in its own small pot until it is developed enough to be transplanted outdoors.
