Make Your Garden Even Greener With These Tips
If you know what you are doing, organic gardening is a great hobby. This list of tips should help you become a successful organic gardener.
Starting seedlings in pots before planting in your garden is a smart idea. Your plants will be more likely to survive if you do this. This method also reduces the waiting time between plantings. The seedlings are ready to go, once you remove the mature plants.
Plants all need a good supply of C02 to grow properly! The majority of plants grow much better when CO2 levels are at their highest. A greenhouse can concentrate the levels of CO2. Here the CO2 can be increased, as it cannot be outdoors, and can give your plants the best conditions for rapid growth.
Plant perennials that slugs and snails won’t be interested in eating. Snails and slugs are garden nightmares, and only need a single evening to obliterate a plant. These pests normally go after plants with thin little leaves and plants that have yet to fully mature. Perennials that are unappetizing in taste, or that have hardened and hairy leaves, are not a favorite of slugs or snails. Selecting an unappetizing perennial, such as campanula or heuchera, will help stop them from being eaten.
Consider growing wheat grass or cat grass near the plants your cat enjoys eating. You could also repel your pet by planting rosemary or placing citrus fruit peels around your garden.
Plant a little catnip or wheatgrass in the area surrounding the plants that your cat is devouring. Try putting mothballs or citrus on your soil to wards pets away.
