Garden Tips And Garden Secrets!
Recycling and your garden!
When Pruning Reuse The Cuttings and make new plants!
When cutting plants back for the fall use the steams
to grow new plants. Cut the stems on a diagonal and place the stem in
rut
cutting mixture (which you can buy at the garden store), put some plant
food under the stem in a pot and put soil up at least 4 inches of the
stem in the pot. Water the cutting with a rutting cutting mixture of 1
tsp to one pint water, water this way every other day may take Several
weeks for stem to start rooting.
Plant Marker's
Don't throw away your damaged mini blinds. Save them and cut them into
plant makers and use a magic maker, write the name of the plant on it.
They work real well and the maker doesn't fade away. I yours them to
mark my garden with and bulbs with that have to be dug up ever year.
Compost piles
Making a compost pile is very easy to do and cheap; it also help the
environment. One way is to make a wire in closer using metal fence post
and chicken wire . You needs at least 4 or more of these stakes in order
to make it into a square or a
circle. Stake the posts into the ground and put them in a square shape
or circle . Next yours the chicken wire on the out side of the post
raping it all the way around it with a piece of wire ( clothes hanger
work good) attach the chicken wire to the post starting at the front
right hand side, next go on to the last pole and don't attach to the
pole with the wire this will be your door. Using old or new clasps like
the worn dog leash except the have to have a clasp on both end , attach
on into the chicken wire door and the other end on the first post with
the chicken wire. You will need at least 4 clasps in all to hold the
compost in. Be shore and not make the compost any higher that 5 feet
tall. Also do not put a bottom on the compost pile, this will let good
parasites into the pile, like worms.
