Weeds, Are They Wiggling Their Way Into Your Garden?

Weeds. They're pests. But you can do some things to get rid of some of them.One of the older, and tried remedies if you have some plants, and flowers, is to put a bit of mulch around them.The best way to find out how much should be around them is to ask the extension office. They help with almost everything.They are a wealth of knowledge.

Another alternative is pluck them out. It's time consuming, but at times you need the relaxation. Weeding the garden used to help me relieve stress. I always felt better after fiddling with the garden.My bulbs were my favorite. I used to dig them up in the spring, and separate them and place them where I wanted my new Gladiolas to be. By Summer, I had a flower bed full of Gladiolas and Elephant Ears.  And I always kept them all trimmed to look nice.

If you want to find out more about natural ways that might help in controlling pests in the garden, looking on the internet may help. No guarantees anything will work real well. You'll just have to try. Some things make sense, some don't. YouTube can be helpful. But like I said, some may help, some not.Some are worth a try.
I've had a little luck in the past. Your best bet though is the Extension Office. These people are there to assist you, and see you succeed. 

Although all of them seem like really great options, you just have to choose the one which you think is best suited for you. I think it depends on a few factors. I usually didn't have many weeds. I guess I was lucky  I pluck them out by hand whenever I walked by one, so it stayed fairly clean. And I sprinkled the gardens with a light mist every evening, so that gave me a chance to check for weeds. As soon as I saw one, it was gone.

Weeds are pretty much going to be around wether we like it, or not. They're part of life. But the question that brings up, is "What purpose do they serve?" Good question. Let's take a look at that. Please be sure to Note: check out the weed video before tackling weed issue, and check with horticulturist using photos. Not all weeds are bad. Some help us in everyday life.I believe that God put us here with everything we need, so most weeds should have a purpose too.

As I said, weeds are not all bad, or a nuisance, but they are annoying at times. There are some weeds which need to be noted. Which explains the reason why I have posted an article about weeds, and  tips about them. There are good useful weeds, and bad ones. You just need to learn the difference between the two. This could be a very helpful piece of knowledge to obtain. I would say don't avoid watching the video about weeds (the first one noted). I plan on watching it myself, because it contains a lot of very important information.

When Your Plant Says: "Gimme some Elbow Room!!!"

Image
Its odd. We, as human beings never realize the things we have in common with plants. They have a love for pretty music, and cheerful tones, so do we. They adore attention, so do we at times. They like quiet conversations, us too. And they also have some physical features in common too!They have Elbows, which are important, which I'll explain how they're vital to your plant, especially if they are a Pothos, or another vining plant similar to it. Elbows(also known as joints), are like your plant's lifeline. This may be where you notice new growth. Often times it is where new branches bud from, or new leaves. Every once in a while, it doesn't hurt to check for new growth, and clear any old debris that may be slowing down new twigs, branches, or leaves . As the weather gets warmer, it's always a good idea to clear out any debris from your plants, including veggies. You feel better when you clean up, they do too . And it healthier (generally speaking), to kee

The Main Tools You Want For Gardening

     The basic tools you're going to use almost daily in your garden, are a good trowel (hand held), and a good Spade, rich potting soil, and maybe some  kind of fertilizer. This will give your plants, and flowers that added zest to feed them. Fertilizing can really give your plants a great boost, but only when done well. So please be sure to do plenty of research on the subject. There's a lot of information that can be helpful. If you  have a vegetable fetish, and would like to really pinch corners, then the next time you buy  produce of any sort, pluck the seeds out, set them on a dry paper towel, or paper plate, or most anything you feel they'll be rather safe on, and allow them to dry in the sun for a few days. When they feel as if they have dried enough to put them in the ground, you have seeds for growing.You can also do this with raw corn, cataloupes, watermelon, lemons, oranges peas, beans, and (maybe even rice), never tried it. Experiment. Try all veggies i
