Use These Organic Gardening Tips For Your Garden!

Use These Organic Gardening Tips For Your Garden! Organic gardening is something you may want to do but never go through with. The thought of starting a garden can be intimidating for many people, due to the fact that it is not something a lot of people are familiar with, and it does seem complicated. Read through this article and you can gain better insight on what it takes to start and grow your own organic garden; it's not as hard as it may seem. A large part of organic gardening is paying close attention to the amount of water that is used. Use a special hose designed to soak plants with water. A soaker hose can get water to the bottom of the plant and it will ensure you do not lose any moisture. It is usually best to water your garden early in the morning. If slugs are a problem in your garden, use a beer trap to kill them naturally. Take a glass jar and bury it so that the soil is even with its mouth. Pour beer into the jar until it is an inch from the top. The slugs will be drawn to the beer and then drown in the jar. When you plant the seeds in containers, be sure the planting's depth is three times bigger than the seed. Some seeds need sunlight and should not be buried. Examples of these are petunias and ageratum. If you're not sure, a guide either comes with seeds, or you can find this information online. One of the best things about composting is that the ingredients for success are simple and affordable, such as fruit peels.

Use organic or natural alternatives in the place of the typical chemical fertilizers. Using compost is a great example. Organic materials hold many advantages over chemical methods. Chemicals tend to build up in the soil, which can leach into the drinking water. Organic gardening sounds contemporary, but it's been around longer than gardening with the use of chemicals. When the Native Americans taught the pilgrims how to plant crops they recommended burying a fish with the seeds. Consider making your own compost pile as a means of making your own fertilizer. Composting is an easy way to recycle and reduce the amount of trash you must dispose of, in addition to helping your garden. Organic foods don't contain any chemical pesticides.
