What are some good gardening tricks?
Here you find the latest practical gardening tricks.
1. It is crucial to plant your garden where the sun shines when gardening. Edible foods usually grow wherever the sun hits the ground, south, southeast, or southwest.
2. Observe the life cycle of edible foods. Generally speaking, a seed begins its life as a seed, develops roots and a stem, leaves, flowers, fruit (if they produce fruit), and then seeds are created, and the cycle begins again.
3. Ignore bagged potting soil mix. It uses unsustainable ingredients, such as peat moss (which comes from bogs and doesn’t rehydrate well in soil mixes, which is why so many pots end up looking like bricks). Organic soils are not an exception! Volcanic rocks like perlite and vermiculite end up in many soils, too. Furthermore, non-organic potting soil is typically enriched with synthetic fertilizers. Perhaps most importantly, potting soil is usually not nutrient-rich since much filler is added. To nourish yourself, you must raise your food, and your garden should be filled with foods that you consume.
4. You can grow whatever you intend to use in your kitchen and cook with it, so if you’re wondering where to start, check your kitchen. You’ll be delighted with how your harvest tastes when you cook with it. Or, snap off your peas and tomatoes one at a time and eat them in the sun.
5. Follow the three-second rule when watering your garden. It would be better to water the soil rather than the leaves of most edible plants since getting water all over the leaves can cause more diseases. You want to make sure you rinse enough, but not too much. You can quickly tell when the soil has been sufficiently soaked by watering until you can count to three seconds with water still pooled on top of the ground.
6. How frequently you should water is more difficult to determine. What is the temperature? Is there mulch or not? What part of the season is it? What’s the weather been like? Generally, though, plants will indicate they need water if their leaves droop.
