Gardening is my hobby. I love to do it in my leisure times. Regular care is also required. Still everyday I find out some time and engage myself. I get a lot of happiness from this. When a small sapling turns to a plant and flowers starts blooming I feel happy for my endeavour. Fruits and vegetables are also easy to grow if there is some extra space at our home. I am sharing my 10 best gardening tips. Hope this works for you too.
PREPARING NATURAL INSECTICIDES:
Add onions and garlic to a jar of water, let it stand for a week, and spray plants with it. This home made insecticide is surely going to keep your plants free from insects.
ROSE HOLDER:
When cutting thorny rose stems, hold onto the stem with a spring clothespin.
TO PROTECT THE BUSHES:
Invert bushel baskets over small bushes during cold weather to protect them. Anchor with old-fashion wood clothespins, shoved over the wire handles of the baskets.
TOMATO TIE:
You have to cut old stockings lengthwise to make ties for tomato plants. These will not cut into the stalk, and are very strong.
GROW PARSHLEY:
Parshley is a very good vegetable for our diet. Wet a clean sponge and sprinkle with parsley. Place near a window and you will soon have a large clump of foliage.
KEEPING AWAY RABBITS AND BEETLE PESTS:
Dust the cheapest talcum power you can find around the base of your vegetable plants outside and it will quickly rid you of rabbit and flea beetle pests.
TREATING SICK PLANTS:
A tablespoon of castor oil chased by water brings sick plants out of their slump.
WATERING WHILE WE ARE ON VACATION:
For extended absences, you have to put plants in the bathtub on thickly folded newspapers in a few inches of water. Water will be absorbed through the bottom of the pots.
WEEDS PREVENTION:
Sprinkle salt or cheap motor oil between brinks in a walk to prevent grass and weeds from growing.
TIPS FOR GRASSES IN THE LAWN:
Let new grass grow to at least 2 1/2 inches high before mowing. Never mow any grass to less than 1 1/2 inches.
