Healthy Growing: Tips, Tricks, and Techniques for Organic Gardening
by George Preston
Organic gardening has gained popularity from people who no longer wish to consume produce that has been treated with chemicals and pesticides, which can damage the environment and a person's health. Another benefit of organic gardening is that it is relatively inexpensive. Below are some great tips to assist you growing to be the organic gardener that you hope to be.
Take care not to over water your plants, as this can prevent the roots from drawing the proper amount of nutrients out of the soil. Always be sure to check the weather and keep a tight watering schedule. It's important that your plants do not take on too much water. After reviewing the weather forecast, you can decide whether or not to spend the time and resources watering the garden.
When you are growing organic plants within the home or an enclosed area, considering how much light the plants will receive must be emphasized. If you're living in a home that doesn't receive much sunlight, you should consider growing plants that thrive in environments with low to medium amounts of light. If you cannot achieve success merely through plant selection, consider using artificial light sources.
If you want your children to enjoy your organic garden, plant some tasty strawberries. You will find that they enjoy participating in gardening if they are allowed to pluck the fresh berries and eat them straight from the earth.
After your seeds sprout, the containers do not need to stay as warm as they once did. Locate your plants further from your heat source as they mature. Take off any plastic that is on the containers to keep away from warmth and moisture. Watch your seeds closely to know how to go about this.
A great tip when running your own organic garden is to lightly ruffle your seedlings with your hand or cardboard, around once or twice per day. Believe it or not, aerating the soil in this manner can actually make your seedlings grow larger.
Create raised beds with stone, brick or untreated wood. Any wood you use needs to be untreated and resistant to rot. Cypress, cedar or locust wood are appropriate selections. Using untreated wood is especially important for veggie gardens, because chemicals from treated wood could leach into the soil, affecting your food. If you're using treated lumber, line it with a barrier, or some plastic.
As you can see, there is a lot more to organic gardening than most people think. Every time you enjoy your vegetables, fruits, flowers or just take a satisfying glance around your garden, you'll realize that all your efforts have been worth it. If you take the information in this piece to heart, you will soon have an effective arsenal of organic gardening techniques.
