Plant Your Organic Garden

Here are my thoughts on planting your organic garden.

Once you have all the supplies and have decided to grow it's time to actually plant your garden. Before taking a shovel and loaded into your garden and start digging you may want to take some "time to plan how to configure your garden. You must have a good idea of what the plant wants and exactly where you want to plant before start digging random holes in your garden.

The best way to organize your garden is to get a piece of paper and prepare a plan for your garden. Decide where you want your garden to be and make sure it is an area that will receive sun for most of the day. Starting to look at the construction site a couple of weeks before sowing, at the same time you start the compost box. Take notes on the patio areas to receive sunlight for most of the day and which areas of your disk are often in shadow.

There are other factors to be taken into consideration when choosing where to plant your garden. Avoid areas that have recently undergone repairs or are close to the metal barricades. Chemicals, metals and other wastes can pollute the area that could bring your plants to pollute. Also looking for areas that hold water after rain. The last thing I want to do is to plant your garden in a place that will become a puddle of water after every rain or when there is water. When you choose a suitable area, be sure to stop using chemicals or their immediate environment.

When deciding how to plant the seeds to try to plan the efficient use of non-visual. If you are planting beans or peas and corns to plant peas in a row in front of the corn. This way you can use the game as corn stalks instead of buying shares for your plants. In addition, to help reduce pests, consider growing onions, garlic, basil and herbs, as in a border around vegetables. These spicy vegetable discourage certain insects of vegetables.

After you decide where to plant your garden to go to your garden and remove any rocks or plants that are already growing in the industry. Once all the big stones have disappeared from the surface also remove plants and dig the ground a few inches of release. Dig / loosen an area that is approximately eight inches thick, as this will provide a good workspace. Make sure the starting area with not too large. Want to start small and then build once they are comfortable and equipped with organic gardening and knows what he wants to plant more vegetables.

When all the debris were removed from the selected area and the soil was loose cover your garden site with a good layer of organic mulch. This can be from plants that were removed from the area, the dry grass of your lawn, then insert the needles of trees, bark and other organic materials. Be sure not to use weed or other material such as hay, which may contain weed seeds. If you are using materials that came from a neighbor's property or elsewhere make sure it was never treated with chemicals or pesticides.

Then spread the manure compost pits just above the garden. This will create a habitat rich in nutrients for growing vegetables. Mix the soil from the yard or even the ground beneath all tree near this layer of compost to get several inches of soil and compost that are deep enough for the plant.

Make sure the soil remains moist but not too wet when you get ready to plant the seeds, and avoid stepping on it or compaction. Then, when ready, begin to sow the seeds so as previously planned.

If this is your first time or are afraid to sow the seeds for planting furrows pass close together create a layer of earth and then consider your own seed tape. If you have any type of toilet paper and a spray bottle, which can be used for spraying water, then all together. As soon as the toilet paper roll on the table, toilet paper with the spray, and place the seeds according to the data packets of seeds.

Cover seeds with another long strip of toilet paper, fold the edges and fog again to ensure that the seeds stay in place. Then bring the tape of the seeds in your garden and has already created in the furrows and covered with soil. Doing this will help you avoid spending time outdoors, trying to find the right distance between seeds and then worry about the possibility of planting the seeds close together.

Another method of planting seeds is to buy seeds that have already been initiated. This means that the seeds have already begun to germinate. The seeds have already begun to sprout usually can be purchased at any garden store and many organic seeds in the containers are biodegradable. Once you get home half of everything you do is plant containers in your yard then put old newspapers around the outbreaks and newspaper coverage with mulch.

To save money you can also start seeds at home with their own containers and compost from the compost pile. From seeds to enable them to germinate, usually in the house with the help of a slight increase, and after transplant to a garden. It is best to start with organic seeds in biodegradable containers that can help prevent damage that sometimes occurs during a transplant. Once the seeds have just germinated plant containers in your garden and surround them with newspaper and mulch.

If you have the seeds directly on the floor with tape or planting seeds by hand, laying down the fertilizer and the newspaper can be a pain. In fact, it is probably the hardest part of your garden again, and he wants to be sure not to cover the seeds. The sign at the time of planting the seeds of these is usually the best way to avoid problems or in anticipation of mulch until the seeds began to germinate.

We recommend that you check the areas of seed and fertilizer to establish immediately, because, although an additional step will be worth it because the newspaper and mulch helps soil retain water and discourage weed growth and insects.
