If you have an organic garden and children, plant some everbearing strawberries for them. Children love to snap up these sweet juicy fruits for themselves and will be much more willing to eat other foods you’ve planted as well.
Strawberries are a great plant to grow in any organic garden, especially if you happen to have kids or any strawberry lover in your home. Children are thrilled to harvest fruit from their own garden, and doing so often makes them more enthusiastic about helping out with the more hum-drum aspects of tending a garden.
If you are growing plants organically indoors, you have to consider the light that they are getting. If you’re living in a home that doesn’t receive much sunlight, you should consider growing plants that thrive in environments with low to medium amounts of light. If you want to grow a plant which requires more light, you can invest in grow-lights.
It is simple to prepare your garden for perennial flowers. Turn over the soil in your garden so it will be soft and easy to plant before spreading wood chips around your garden. Give this area at least a few weeks, then you can dig into the area and plant the new perennials.
Using coffee grounds as part of your soil mixture in your garden is often advised for healthy plants. Your plants will thrive from the nitrogen contained in the grounds. Generally, nitrogen is the limiting nutrient with any plant and having a good nitrogen source either by coffee grounds, compost, or even diluted urea, will make your plants bloom faster and grow taller.
These tips are intended to help you become an excellent organic gardener. There is plenty of information out there for you to use, it’s all a matter of how you apply it. Use the tips and build them into your own gardening strategy and you’ll find great growing success!
