Gardening tips: 8 tragic mistakes to avoid!
Whether you have a huge garden or a tiny balcony, if you have decided to take over the situation and give yourself to gardening there is not much difference: there are good chances that you're going to make one of these 8 common mistakes!
1- Wrong vase!
Each flower, plant or vegetable wants a specific pot: plants that require drained soil will need pots with holes at the base. Plants that love moist soils may have a plastic pot but if they cannot have the least water stagnation, prefer terracotta pots. In short, for each plant that you have decided to plant in pots, ask what are the pots that help the plants to grow well. Emphasize not only the vase material, but also its shape! If you have any questions about which pot to choose between terracotta or plastic pot.
2- 2- Remove good herbs instead of weeds!
Removing weeds is one of the practices that is always recommended not only to have a better aesthetic result, but also to prevent them from infesting the whole garden. Are you sure you can recognize them? You will surely have had to tear weeds at least once and ask yourself why the plants did not bloom. If you are not sure you know how to recognize your flowers from those of weeds, mark with sticks what and where you have grown your flowers! Among the weeds there are some that are also beneficial.
3- Do not prepare the soil
The soil is never to be underestimated: if it is not the right one or if it is not properly nourished, the result will not delay in being seen. If your vegetables do not grow, if the flowers are thin and small, keep a local mind on the land you have used or ask yourself how long you do not fertilize the soil! The ideal solution would be to create the natural compost at home and feed the soil:
4- Plant too close together!
In order to have a lush garden, the solution is certainly not to fill the space you have at your disposal up to the unlikely chance of plants. If you put too many plants will suffocate each other, they will not grow well and will not become as luxuriant as you dreamt!
5- Too much water!!
This is absolutely one of the most common mistakes in which beginners and do not stumble! Watering the plants too much is as harmful as it is not watering them: so ask yourself about the amount of water that the plants you have in the garden require and stay away from spending every day with the watering can among all your plants.
6- Plant an invasive plant
Adorable the ivy, right? And what about wisteria? All beautiful plants, which if you don't follow and don't contain them properly, will invade your green corner. Carefully choose the plants you want in the garden and especially according to the patience you will have in looking after them in the future!
7- Incorrect exposure
Contrary to what you think, not all plants love to be in the sun! Plants must be grown in areas with the right exposure and not based on your stubbornness: sunflowers do not grow in the shade and a hydrangea in full sun will fade out!
8- Exactly with pesticides
You don't want your plants to be devoured by insects and aphids, but if you exaggerate with the pesticide your plants will die! Before running to shelter with chemicals, look for a solution among natural remedies: except in massive invasions of parasites, natural remedies work!
