Follow These Excellent Tips For A Beautiful Garden
Many people appreciate the idea of nurturing gardens with organic methods, but not everyone knows where to start. The complexity of it and unfamiliarity with gardening is daunting and even intimidating to many. Follow the advice in this article to make organic gardening a simple and fun activity.

Clay is naturally hard, and can can stick to a shovel making it frustrating to work with. To make working in clay easier, rub the shovel with floor or car wax and then buff it with a cloth. This will make your task easier because the clay won't adhere to the shovel. It will also keep your garden tool from rusting.

Don't mow your grass too short. If you leave a bit more height, the grass roots will get deeper, making your lawn stronger. Short grass means short roots and dead grass.

Use biennials and annuals to beautify your flower beds. Fast-growing annuals and biennials can brighten up a flower bed, and allow you to change the look from season to season and year to year. Sunny areas in the middle of shrubs and perennials can be filled in nicely with these plants. There are plenty of varieties including petunia, marigold, cosmos, sunflower, hollyhock, and rudbeckia.

Ensuring your plants are both dry and aerated is a great way to keep them healthy. Plant moisture is a big attraction to both parasites and plant diseases. A common parasite to plants is fungi. You can rid your garden of fungi with fungicidal sprays. However, it is recommended to treat your garden before there are problems.

Irises should be divided. You can increase the number of irises you have by splitting clumps that are overgrown. When foliage is dead, lift bulbous irises. The bulbs should automatically divide in your palm, and once you put them back into the earth, they will typically flower the following year. For plants with rhizomes, use a knife to divide them. Cut out new pieces externally the bulb and throw away the old center. Each piece needs one strong offshoot. Replant them immediately.

Once you know more about organic gardening, how to get started should not be so intimidating. Apply these tips and you will quickly be eating luscious and wholesome foods, that you grew yourself!
