Top 10 Lawn and Garden Care Tips
The following lawn and garden care tips will help you get the
most from your garden.
1. Different soil types have different watering needs. Loosen
the soil around plants so it can quickly absorb water and
nutrients. Early morning or night is the best time for watering
to reduce evaporation.
Lengthening the time between watering combined with deep, heavy
watering encourages root growth while reducing top growth in
lawns. This increases the root-to-shoot ratio and helps produce
plants that are more resistant to wilting when exposed to
infrequent watering.
2. When choosing plants for your garden, remember crops that are
suited to your soil and climate will be more resistant to
problems. If you experiment with exotics, be prepared to give
them more care. Also, when placing plants around the home,
remember as a general rule, plants with thick leaves can take
lower light levels than those with thin leaves.
3. Fertilizers provide nutrients necessary for plant health and
growth, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Test your
soil to find out what nutrients are needed. Choose a fertilizer
that has at least one-fourth of the nitrogen in a slow-release
form, such as sulphur-coated urea.
4. Mow lawn frequently to chop up leaves and recycle them into
the lawn. If the leaves are too thick or matted then rake them
up.
5. Keep garden beds covered with shredded leaves to minimize
the
risk of soil erosion and nutrient run-off.
6. Leave the grass clippings to decompose on the lawn. This will
provide nutrients equivalent to one or two fertilizer
applications. Set mower at 2 inches to reduce water use during
hot weather.
7. Consider using natural alternatives for chemical pesticides
such as non-detergent insecticidal soaps, garlic, hot pepper
sprays, used dishwater, or forceful stream of water to dislodge
insects. Also consider using plants that naturally repel insects.
8. Organic Gardening - Since organic fertilizer and soil
conditioning materials are slow working in general, they should
be mixed into the soil at least three weeks ahead of planting
and the soil thoroughly prepared for the seed or transplants.
9. Where animal manures are available, they are probably the
best source of fertilizer and organic matter for the organic
gardener. Use manure which has been aged for at least 30 days,
or composted.
10. Weeds are easy to control when they are small. Shallow
cultivation and hoeing are advised in order to reduce damage to
the root system.
