Make A Wonderful Garden With These Tips!

August 13, 2013 by Shen

Gardening can be a rewarding pastime and can bring many benefits. Regardless of what you grow, cultivating and caring for plants brings a special kind of satisfaction. The tips in this article will help you get the most from your garden.

Digging in clay soil with a shovel can be very difficult. The clay isn’t easy to work with and will adhere to the shovel, which only makes the problem worse. Simplify the process by putting a bit of wax onto the shovel. The clay won’t stick then. This will make your task easier because the clay won’t stick to the shovel. It will also keep your garden tool from rusting.

Cover fences and walls with lots of climbers. These types of plants can climb anything, which makes them perfect for covering up a wall or fence that needs to be hidden. You can also train climbers to cover arbors and other things that you want covered, and they will even grow right through trees and shrubs. Some varieties of these plants will have to be tethered to some sort of support, but other varieties will be able to attach to the medium they are climbing. Some climbers that have proven to be reliable are honeysuckle, jasmine, wisteria, clematis, and climbing roses.

Bulbs will give you wonderful flowers that you can enjoy in early spring and right through the summer. Bulbs are one of the easiest plants to grow and are hardy perennials that return each year. If you choose your plants carefully, you could have flowers in blossom from the first weeks of spring to the end of the summer.

Irises can be easily divided. Try increasing your stock by dividing your overgrown clumps of plants. Once the foliage has died off, lift out your bulbous irises. The iris bulbs should easily split apart in your hand. Once you replant them, they will have a good flower show the following year. Use a knife to divide the rhizomes. Discard the center and cut pieces from the exterior. There needs to be a minimum of one healthy offshoot on each of the new sprout sections. Replant your pieces right away.

As was mentioned earlier in the article, gardening can be a truly rewarding hobby. The benefits ranges from seeing your garden filled with brightly colored flowers and thriving, luscious green plants, to cutting your grocery bill in half by providing your family with fresh home grown vegetables. By assimilating what you learned about gardening into your routine, you can enjoy gardening and all it has to offer.
