Don't Forget the Weeds!

Weeds can be a nuisance in the garden. They can provide interest and color, but they also take nutrients from your plants. This can lead to weaker crops and less vibrant landscaping, making it important to tackle the weeds regularly. There are many alternatives to chemicals that can cause harm to the earth. This will allow you more time to enjoy the garden.

One of the most effective ways to combat weeds is to plant them in a thick. This will allow your vegetables and other plants develop enough size to cover the weeds. They will be less noticeable for a longer time. Mulch is a great method to reduce the number of weeds. vegetable gardens is another fantastic way to control weeds.

Avoid disturbing the soil in your garden by not over-turning the soil. This will expose dormant seedlings, and bring them to the surface, making them more easily removed. Instead of re-turning the soil, use a hoe to gently "tickle" the surface. This won't alter the soil's structure and will keep all the beneficial microbes, fungi, and insects where they belong.

Keep the edges of your lawn and garden mowed to prevent weeds. This is particularly beneficial in the case of the first garden or wild and weedy space in that it will give the weeds fewer chances to sprout up into the rich, fertile garden soil!

Be sure to eliminate weeds as soon as they appear. This will prevent them from growing into full-grown plants that can rival your crops for water, nutrients and sunlight. Waiting until they are larger can make it difficult to get them out and could eventually cause your crop to be smothered.

One final suggestion is to use boiling water to kill weeds near the root, making it more difficult to grow them again. This is a great solution for small patches of unwanted grass or if you don't have the time to manually pull them out.

Add Organic Matter

Organic matter in soil, made up of decaying plant and animal material, improves the structure as well as the aeration, water-holding capacity and root penetration of garden soil. It also feeds a variety of microorganisms that create an ecologically healthy soil ecosystem.

Garden soil with too little organic matter clumps together and forms clay-like clods which restrict water and nutrients. Organic matter helps to bind soil particles to form porous granules or crumbs which allow air and water to move through the soil. Organic matter can absorb and store nutrients, and also retain moisture (humus can hold up to 90 percent of its weight liquid). It also provides a home for good organisms which decompose plants, weeds, and other harmful organisms.

Every kind of garden soil can benefit from the inclusion of organic material, however it is particularly important for clay- and sandy soils. Organic material can increase the capacity of sandy soils to hold and release water and nutrients and can also help loosen and aerate clay-based soils.

The best organic matter comes from plants and animals which are primarily carbon-based. Materials like banana peels, coffee grounds shredded leaves, shredded leaves, and grass clippings are great. They can be added to your compost pile, where they will add organic matter and feed earthworms that will in turn, aerate and fertilise your garden soil. You can also purchase bags of amendments like peat moss composted cow manure pine bark fines, and even the potting mix (which usually includes perlite, which is a light potting additive that aids in aeration).

Before planting every season add organic matter to your soil. Apply unfinished, raw organic matter like raw manure, rotten leaves or compost to the soil a month prior to when you plan to plant, so that it can break down and be available to your plants. If your soil is sandy or heavy clayey, apply 1 to 2 inch of material. If the soil is fertile and loamy and loamy, you may need to use less.
