Ten Basic Rules for Gardening
By Staff Writer
Rule #1 - Buy plants from a very reputable source--I prefer nurseries over discount stores and warehouse stores.
Rule #2 - Select plants that will grow in your climate--consider your high and low temperatures.
Rule #3 - Plant your plants in the right place in your yard--sun-loving plants in the sun, shade-loving plants in the shade.
Rule #4 - Provide your plants with complete nutrition. Most fertilizers and plant foods don't. Spray-N-Grow and Bill's Perfect Fertilizer provide major and minor elements identified by botanists as necessary for plant growth and production.
Rule #5 - Water your plants properly.
Rule #6 - Keep your plants bug free. Look for bugs on your plants as often as possible. Apply an organic and environmentally friendly bug killer if necessary.
Rule #7 - Watch for plant disease. Spray your plants with Physan 20 or Serenade if you see any wilting, black spots, etc.
Rule #8 - Weed around your plants or use All Down Organic Weed and Grass Kill or Burnout Weed and Grass Killer.
Rule #9 - Deer, rabbits, squirrels and other animals may try to feast on your plants. If you see evidence of munching, use a humane animal repellants. It may take a little detective work to figure out what type of hungry animal is invading your garden.
Rule #10 - Gardening is a physical activity--take care of yourself. Wear a hat and gloves. Use sunscreen and watch for stinging insects. Use safe products--many common gardening products are not organic or all natural. To buy garden products mentioned in this article, visit Spray-N-Grow's website (www.spray-n-growgardening.com). Their garden products are safe for people, plants and pets.
