If you have an organic garden and children, plant some everbearing strawberries for them. Strawberries are a favorite of children due to their sweetness. And since they’re so easy and fun to pick, it’s also a healthy, productive, safe activity that children can assist adults with.
Your organic garden will benefit from small ditches between the plant rows. These ditches will help direct water toward the plant roots, which will result in fewer waterings. You will conserve water and save money at the same time.
Plant your landscaping trees in places that will provide shade for your home. Your home will benefit from natural shade and so will your utility bill.
For the best results when growing an organic garden, you should shake your seeds up a little bit. After planted, make sure you agitate the seeds at least twice daily, using your fingers or even a Popsicle stick. This may sound strange, but research has proven that doing this will help your plants grow bigger than if they were not petted at all.
A beer trap is an effective way of of dealing with any slugs that invade your organic garden. Take a glass jar and bury it so that the soil is even with its mouth. Next, add beer to the jar until it’s about nearly full, with somewhere around an inch of space remaining. Slugs are attracted to beer. They will crawl into the jar and be trapped.
