Organic Gardening Tips For Every Season Of The Year

O.K. So you made it through another winter in Cheyenne. Time for the great outdoors and enjoying the sun, earth and fresh air.

 Let's start your garden.  These few tips will get you started to beautiful flowers, great vegetables and an organic experience with the earth.   

Make the most of the time spent in your garden every day. Don't spend 30 minutes searching high and low for a tool. Prepare all the tools you need before you go out to work on your garden, and then put them away neatly when finished. If you need to use a tool belt, purchase a tool belt or heavy duty pants with plenty of pockets.

Coffee grounds are good addition to your soil. Coffee grounds have nitrogen that will utilize.

Don't let all the little chores for your organic garden pile up. Even if you end up being too busy to do garden chores every day, you can do little things to help so that there is not a huge amount of work to be done when you are ready to get back to it. For instance, pull a few weeds if you're outside and waiting for your dog to finish his business.

Your compost pile should contain green plant materials and dried ones in equal amounts. Green plant material consists of spent flowers, fruit waste, leaves, grass clippings, and fruit and vegetable waste. Dried materials are things like hay, shredded paper, cardboard and paper. Avoid ashes, meat, diseased plants and meat-eating animal manure.

Some common examples are petunias and petunias. If you are not sure whether your seeds need to be exposed to sunlight, you can find out online or through the seeds' package. 

When you run your personal organic garden, lightly brush over them using your hand up to twice a day. It may sound a little odd to do this, but research has shown that handling the seedling like this often will make them grow bigger than seedlings that are ignored.

Create raised beds with stone, bricks or untreated wood.Choose wood that is naturally resistant to rot and does not contain any chemicals. Some good choices you might consider are locust, cypress, and cypress. In order to avoid toxic substances from getting into the ground and perhaps into your vegetables, don't use treated wood since its chemicals can leech into the food crops and soil.If you have to use treated wood, at least take the time to make a plastic lining beneath the soil.
