TIP! Digging in hard clay soil is made even more difficult because it sticks to the shovel. Simplify the process by putting a bit of wax onto the shovel.

If you’re planning on eating healthier and saving a lot of money on groceries, growing an organic garden will accomplish that and much more. It can be a little daunting, however. From the type of mulch to use to the right equipment, there are many questions you need answered. As well, there are a lot of choices when it comes to seeds. The tips below will help you get started in growing an organic garden.

TIP! Try planting your plants in flower pots first, then transferring them to your garden once they have had a bit of time to grow. Your plants will be more likely to survive if you do this.

Climbing plants make a strong addition to walls, fences or other free-standing structures. Climbing plants are known to be very versatile, and can help hide any ugly wall or fence, and this often only takes one growing season. You may also be interested in training them over an arbor or trellis. You can also grow them among existing landscape trees and plants. There are those that have to be fixed to a support, but others will find a surface to cling to all on their own through twining stems or tendrils. You can be sure that varieties such as climbing roses, wisteria, jasmine, clematis and honeysuckle will grow very well.

TIP! Plant some perennials in your garden that repel slugs. Slugs and snails are voracious eaters that can destroy a plant literally overnight.

Be sure to weed your garden. Weeds and gardens do not mix; they will destroy your garden. To help with the removal, you can use white vinegar. The acid in white vinegar kills weeds. You may also be using plants that need that very same acid. If you don’t want to take the time to remove the weeds by hand, simply spray them with a white vinegar solution.

TIP! Keeping your garden soil rich and healthy is the best way to discourage garden pests. Healthy plants can better ward off pests and diseases.
