It goes without saying that taking care of an organic garden is critical for its success. That is where smart organic gardening comes in handy. You have the ability to produce healthy, delicious produce on your own property. Follow this advice and your organic garden will soon be flourishing above the rest!
Choose perennials that won’t be taken out by slugs. A plant can be completely demolished overnight by slugs and snails. They gravitate towards perennials with smooth thin leaves, particularly on younger plants. Others, though, are disliked by slugs and snails. Those with rough leaves or an unappetizing taste will be less desired by slugs and snails. Some of these plants include achillea, campanula, euphorbia, hellaborus, and heuchera.
Biennials and annuals are great if you would like to better your flower bed. These biennials and annuals are fast-growing, and they allow you to brighten up your flower bed with a change for each season. In addition, they work well as gap fillers between other areas, as long as those areas receive plenty of sunlight. There are plenty of varieties including petunia, marigold, cosmos, sunflower, hollyhock, and rudbeckia.
Start your plants in containers, and then transplant the seedlings into the garden later on. This increases the chance that your plants will survive to adulthood. This method also reduces the waiting time between plantings. Your next crop of seedlings will be started and ready to be planted immediately after you remove your last crop from the garden.
Use both annuals and biennials to add a splash of color to your flower beds. These biennials and annuals are fast-growing, and they allow you to brighten up your flower bed with a change for each season. They are very helpful when trying to fill in gaps between shrubs and perennials in an area that is sunny. You should get varieties such as cosmos, petunia, rudbeckia, hollyhock, sunflowers or marigold.
