By Cassi Phoeuk


Now's the best time. You may have many questions and concerns about initiating this, but rest assured that the following paragraphs will give you the answers you seek. The ideas and tips below will get you started and on your way to a successful garden.

All plants need an adequate supply of carbon dioxide in order to thrive. More CO2 generally produces more luxurious plant growth. The best method to obtain a high amount is to get access to a greenhouse. If you have a greenhouse, keep CO2 levels high.

A planting calendar is a great way to start your garden project. If you keep a planting calendar, you will know exactly which variety to plant every season. It can be helpful to prepare in advance so you know which seeds to buy and when. You can make a calendar to hang on the wall, or to merge with your online scheduler.

Your garden can really benefit from evergreens featuring berries. The evergreens will add some color to your garden or yard, especially during the winter, when other plants have died or lost color. Plants which you can purchase that offer color during the winter are the Winterberry, the Common Snowberry, the American Holly, and the American Cranberrybush.

Store autumn leaves in plastic bags for use as compost when you plant your garden. You can do this during the fall once the leaves have been raked. A warm place is where your leaf bags should get stored. Once spring rolls around, your yard will also have soil substance perfect for addition to the compost pile.

Ammonia mixed with water makes an effective snail spray. The ammonia is safe for your plants, and will be absorbed into the ground and converted into nitrogen. Its effect on snails, however, is deadly. The snails will no longer be able to harm your garden. Daily use is recommended for best results.

Some houseplants may require re-potting, and others resent having their roots disturbed. Determine whether or not you need to re-plant by looking at the number of roots in the bottom of the current container. If the plants roots take up much of the space in the dirt, you need to plant it in a larger pot. By contrast, if the roots aren't very prominent or aren't showing at all, there's no need for a pot transfer.

You are now one step closer to fulfilling that ambition and beginning your garden. You now know much more about how to have a successful garden. The tips above were meant to give you a little guidance to aid in your gardening endeavors so you can go out and have some real fun!
