Here is a great way to keep out the weeds. Do not get rid of that old shower curtain because you can put it right under the mulch so that you will not get those annoying weeds. They do sell products that you can put under your mulch but why waste you money when you can just use something that you already have. This will be sure to to stop any annoying weeds from popping through that mulch. This is just as easy to use as the products that you by at the gardening stores!

Dish soap will kill aphids even better that the insecticidal soaps however, it may harm your plants. Alwasy be sure to test a small area and only use 1-2 tablespoons of dish soap to a gallon of water and DO NOT use antibacterial soaps…they will hard your plants. Personally, I have had great luck with Equate. Filed under: Flowers and Insect and Bugs and Lawn Care Comments: None |

The beer traps really good if you husband will spare you a beer for your garden :)You just have to make sure that you design it correctly. My first try…I attracted slugs but I didn’t trap them! AH!! Make sure that the beer is around 5 inches deep and 1 inch below the top of the trap so that when the stupid slugs reach up to get out they fall in.

When to water your plants…sounds rather simple yet sometimes over looked. The best time to water is early morning or early evening. Do not water during the heat of the day when the sun is at it’s strongest - you will burn the plants and it will evaporate before the plant can benefit form it. And do not water when it is windy because you have no control of where it is going Filed under: Lawn Care Comments: None |

If you are having a problem with your fungal sport plant disease such as powdery mildew - try mixing some baking soda with water and spraying it on the leaf surface…this ways it makes the fungal sports unable to actually infect the plant…therefor you don’t have the plant disease. Not to mention this is a lot healthier for the environment and a lot cheaper than all the other products that sometimes really don’t work! 1 tablespoon of baking soda , 1 teaspoon of dish soap, 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil and 1 gallon of water. Make sure you test this on a small area - you don’t want to burn the plant if it is a sensitive plant! Filed under: Flowers and Gardening Tips and Lawn Care Comments: None |
