Keeping your garden clean

June 26th, 2010 |

Author: garden

Keeping your garden up to date and free of weeds is one of the most important things you can do, why? Weeds rob your garden of much needed water, and nutrients, and while it may seem like a few weeds may not be that big a deal it really is because they grow so fast that one day to the next you will find that they will literally take over.

One of the most important parts of gardening is to keep your garden free from weeds and pests.

Weeds seem to just thrive in a garden even when you keep at it, they just seem to popup over night.

Which is one of the reasons why it is so important to keep vigilant on keeping your garden weed free.

Tool of the trade, there are a number of garden tools that come in handy for keeping your garden weed free.

One of the most often used is the hoe, which you can buy at just about any hardware or garden store.

A hoe is very useful for getting that pesky grass and weeds from around your precious plants.

Another useful implement, is a small hand held garden excavation tool, which can be very helpful
in keeping the grass down.

weeds and grass can rob your garden of water and nutrients that you really need in order to keep that lush
growing cycle going.

Water those dry gardens to keep them growing can you keep it green?

July 30th, 2009 |

Author: garden

Recently there has been little rain and many that have planted gardens have seen their gardens begin to wither away to nothing or they start to notice the yellow leaf patterns on their plants.

This is a sign that there is not enough water in the garden root system.

So how hot does it get in your garden?

If you do not have enough water your garden will quickly wither away.

It may be hard for some to make time to water and I can understand why someone might abandon their gardens, however, it really only takes a little time to water a garden, and if you heap dirt up around the base of a plant the water your plants do get will last longer in the root system.

If it gets too hot then you risk loosing your plants.

However I have seen something that defies logic, dry dead gardens, this is something that is hard to understand because you see them out there working in the garden preparing the soil, doing the work, planting, and growing their gardens, and as long as it rains, everything is fine but if it starts to get dry they stop taking care of the garden, keeping that garden growing is in your best interest.

I am not sure where the idea came that your garden just grows itself and you dont have to do anything in order to reap the benefits of the garden, in other words the produce of the garden, is only reaped when you put in a little effort.

So get out there and water the garden, and you will be happy that you did.

Growing a garden takes work and effort, but the rewards are so much better than you might imagine, more so when the price of produce starts to go

up and up and up…

For every hour you put into a garden you can get pounds of produce, so far this year we have about 200 pounds of produce and counting…

We have prepared that and frozen or canned what we could not use right away, I can tell you that during the winter, it is going to be really nice to

have fresh tasting produce, to enjoy…

saving your Fruit Trees from brown rot

July 19th, 2009 |

Author: garden

At some point there is really nothing you can do to save the crop, no amount of spraying will help, however you can save the plant or tree, which is equally important to a farmer.

Saving the tree means that you can try again next year, loosing your tree to the fungus rot means that you dont get another chance to raise another crop.

So, make sure that your trees have enough water and treat as prescribed by your fungicide label.

Remove mummies, (mummified fruit) so that it will reduce the amount of the spread of the disease.

Do not prune until the first frost, then inspect the entire tree and only prune those areas that are obviously effected.

Once you have pruned the tree, then it is time to tread for the fungus.

It is easier to kill the fungus once the sap has retreated to the root system.

Treat as prescribed during the dormant period, then treat again at the spring and again during the flowing period.

Then again, at first fruit and pollination.

This is the only way to ensure that your crop will survive the brown rot, until that time make sure you trees have plenty of water and treat as normal.

If you have squirrel populations that are in excess take care of them now because later it will be more difficult, yes they are cute, but they are not going to feed you.

hydroponics and garden soil

July 1st, 2009 |

Author: garden

Can you grow inside your home? the answer is yes.

However you do have to have the right kind of soil or if you are using hydroponics you also need the right kind of nutrient formula. because there are so many different types of growth mediums you have to take a clear look at what you plan on doing to keep your plants growing and green.

Creating the right kind of mix is certainly one of the things you have to really make sure you have right.

Many people believe that to do indoor hydroponics that you have to use only nutrient tanks but that is not true and you can use a combination of those technologies.
