Simple Things All Organic Gardeners Should Know
Organic produce is much more tasty and healthy than the mass produced fruit and vegetables normally found at the supermarket. Rather than eating store-bought fruits and veggies, you should try growing your own. Read the article below for tips and suggestions on how you can have your very own organic garden at home.

Properly put down your sod. Prior to laying the sod, prepare your soil. Get rid of weeds and tilth the soil finely. Compact the soil lightly and firmly, and be sure to create a flat surface. The soil should be adequately moistened. Staggered rows with offset joints is the best way for the sod to be laid out. Press the sod down firmly so that the surface is flat and even. If there are gaps remaining, fill them with a bit of soil. Water your sod daily for a fortnight, which is enough time for it to root and be able to withstand foot traffic.

Always allow your plants to adapt gradually to any changes in light conditions, temperatures or soils, unless you, you might shock them and cause them to die. Try placing them outside in sunlight for about an hour or maybe two the first day. As the week progresses, gradually increase their contact with the outdoors. Hopefully, after about a week or so, your plants should have adjusted to the change. You can now transplant them without any worries.

Keeping your garden soil rich and healthy is the best way to discourage garden pests. If you are producing healthy plants, they will be stronger and much better able to resist bugs and diseases. You want to cultivate quality soil with adequate salt levels, which leads to healthy plants.

Tempt your cat from the plants they have been bothering by planting catnip or wheat grass near them. Offensive smells also work to repel cats and other pesky animals from eating your plants. Try putting mothballs, citrus peels, garlic and other pungent items on the topsoil.

Pouring the extra water from your dinner of steamed veggies to them will help. For those who have rhododendrons or gardenias, use coffee and tea grounds to acidify the soil. If you are having issues with fungus, you might find that sprinkling Chamomile tea on the plant works well.

There is not any have to buy produce of lesser quality. Use everything you study from this article in order to grow your own vegetables and fruits.
