The 7 Basic Elements You Need to Get Started – Organic Container Gardening
Next to wildlife eating your vegetation there is nothing more frustrating then weeds in the home vegetable garden. They seem to come out nowhere, and are extremely resilient. They compete with your vegetable plants for the very nutrients that exist within your soil. The more weeds that you have the more resources they are using which means less for your plants. Here is how you can take a few steps and reduce the weeds.
The only supplies you will need are newspaper and mulch. I like to mix black, dark mulch with compost from my compost pile. You will see why in a moment. The tools you will need are a rake and/or a shovel, but you can also do this all by hand. Throw in your garden hose with a spray nozzle that has the “mist” setting and you are ready to go.
Water is essential in your organic garden. Make sure to always keep the soil and the plants inside the container moist but never ever submerged them thoroughly in water as that could drown the plant.
Sunlight needs to be given every single day. Make sure to place the pots and containers in an area where there is sunlight. Remove them if it gets too hot as the heat may burn the leaves of the plant and dry the soil in the pot.
It is highly recommended to keep your container grown plants in a steady temperature of about 55 – 75 degrees Celsius. It helps plants keep their moisture and shine. The roots of container placed plants are more sensitive to temperature unlike their ground soil counterparts so make sure to always have a thermometer at hand to test the temperature of the organic garden.
With your newspaper spread out over your entire garden, use your garden hose and set your nozzle to mist and water the paper. This will help keep it down while you prepare for the next step. You don’t want to drench it. You want to lightly mist it with water so that it is damp and has some weight to it, to keep it down.
Considering and planning out the space you will use is very vital. Organic container gardening requires not a very large space only enough space to let your plants grow taller. It really depends on the types of plants and crops you would like to grow. So analyze your plant’s growth and widen the space from there if needed to.
Weeds are annoying but they do not have to be a problem, and they certainly should never be a reason as to why you should not have a home vegetable garden. If you follow the information above you will eliminate ninety to ninety-five percent of the weeds that you will get on occasion. Now all you have to do is get up in the morning and pick the one or two weeds you will get and that will keep your garden 100% weed free.
