Good Planning Helps Fight Garden Pests~by Ken Churches |
|
Posted by: thepinetree on 01/25/2010 10:49 AM
|
January is a good time to draw up pest control plans for the spring garden. Apart from insects, pests include diseases, weeds, snails, rodents, birds, dogs and even neighborhood kids with balls. Some simple techniques can protect the garden from animals and birds. A strong fence, for example, will keep out most dogs and soccer balls. Hoop-supported spun bonded row covers can help protect vegetable seedlings from birds, while netting draped over grapes will keep their beaks off vines. ....

January Time to Prepare Soil for Spring Gardens~by Ken Churches |
|
Posted by: Kim_Hamilton on 01/20/2010 09:55 AM
|
A good fertility program is the best way to prepare garden soil for spring planting, and winter is the time to begin the process. Analyzing your soil is the starting point. Take soil samples at several locations in the garden to assess fertility levels. Take samples from six to eight inches deep, the depth most vegetable feeder roots reach. Mix the soil thoroughly for a good, representative sample and use a soil test kit available at local nurseries.....

Dwarf Fruit Trees Add Variety to Landscapes~by Ken Churches |
|
Posted by: Kim_Hamilton on 01/14/2010 10:31 PM
|
Gardeners who like to try new things in the New Year might consider planting dwarf fruit trees, which add colors and shapes to the home landscape and greater variety to the family diet. Most dwarf fruit tree varieties come from grafting one fruit variety or scion onto another that serves as the root system. Dwarfing occurs because of restricted nutrient supply to the scion. Different root systems result in different sizes...

Wood Ashes as a Garden Fertilizer~by Ken Churches |
|
Posted by: Kim_Hamilton on 12/16/2009 09:56 AM
|
At one time wood ashes were a chief source of potassium and much used in farming and horticulture. While not an important fertilizer anymore, wood ashes have become plentiful around many homes as more people turn to wood burning stoves and fireplaces for heat. It is better to put some of these ashes to beneficial use rather than have them take up space in our landfill. Gardeners with a supply of wood ashes often want to know if ashes are useful as a fertilizer or soil amendment. The questions most generally asked are...
