Many individuals prefer organic gardening, as they fear the possible long-term effects on their health as well as the environment from the many commercial pesticides and fertilizers that are used. Organic horticulture is also cheaper; you don’t have to spend as much money on tools and equipment. Here are some helpful techniques to help you learn to garden organically.

Clay soil is hard and will also stick to a shovel, making it difficult to work with. Rubbing wax on the shovel prior to digging can kick this challenge to the curb. This causes the clay to slide rather than stick, and prevents rust as a side effect.

TIP! Your plants will respond better to gradual changes of environment. Place them outdoors in the sun for about an hour or two on the first day.

Choose plants that will give you the most yield at harvest time. A plant that is resistant to disease, or one that is tolerant of extreme weather, will deliver a higher yield.

Use both annuals and biennials to add a splash of color to your flower beds. You can use biennial and annual flowers to brighten the bed, and let you change how it looks. You can also use these flowers to fill gaps between shrubs or perennials. Notable biennials and annuals include marigold, sunflowers, hollyhock, petunia, and cosmos.

Are fresh mint leaves something you love but cannot stand how quickly they grow all over your garden? Keep the growth under control by growing them in a large horticulture pot instead. If you would like, go ahead and plant the container and the plant right in the ground to prevent root overtake.

TIP! Think about starting plants in pots, and then placing the seedlings in the garden later. This raises the chances of the plants growing until adulthood.

The best gardens start with seeds, as opposed to plants. It’s better for the environment to begin from seed. The planters used to hold nursery plants are generally not made from eco-friendly materials, and thus get thrown into landfills. Starting from seeds, or buying from one of the few nurseries that use biodegradable planters, prevents this.

Interested in using Mother Nature to keep pests at bay the natural way? Onions and marigolds can help to deter slugs. You can also mulch around trees and shrubs with wood ash, which drives away insects. By utilizing these methods, you will not have to apply chemical pesticides on your vegetation.

Carefully read and follow the instructions that come with your chemicals and tools, especially when you’re just starting to garden. If you don’t do this, you could cause unnecessary skin irritations, which are very painful. Keep yourself safe and always follow instructions.

TIP! Pick the correct soil to get the best results. The type of plants you’re planning to grow will determine the type of soil you need, and whether the soil will or will not be adapted.

If you have a cut on your hand, take the time to make sure it is either healed or completely covered before you put your hands in the soil. If dirt and grime get into a cut while horticulture, it may become infected. Now, there are bandages available that will cover and seal the injured area completely, allowing you to continue your horticulture projects.

If you are growing plants organically indoors, you have to consider the light that they are getting. The amount of light available can determine which type of organic plants you should grow. For example, if your living area does not provide much natural sunlight, you could grow those plants that only need low to medium amounts of natural light to thrive. If you do and this does not help, consider investing in some grow-lights.

Putting the advice you just learned to use in your organic garden will help you realize several benefits, including having healthy plants and a reduction in toxins. When you are organic gardening and working with nature, you will also see a lot of wildlife coming to visit!
