Using a solution of aspirin and water can prevent certain plant diseases. Dissolve aspirin (1.5 pills per 2 gallons of water) in a bucket and administer to your plants. You simply have to spray the solution on your plants to assist them in warding off diseases. Try to apply the mixture to the plants at least once in each three week period.
If you choose to use organic methods to care for your houseplants, you should bear in mind that certain plants require more sunlight than others. If you live in a home or apartment that does not get great sunlight you may want to consider growing plants that are designed to grow in low or medium-light environments. If this is not an option, or you have your heart set on a particular type of plant, consider adding additional growing lights instead.
Have your tools for gardening nearby in order to maximize your efficiency with gardening. You could do this by using a big bucket, or just wear old pants that have some deep pockets. You should always have your gloves, pruning shears and a trowel close to you.
The compost pile should include equal parts of dried material and green plant material. Green means plant cuttings including grass, produce and weeds. The leaves you rake in the fall, straw, sawdust and the like are dry material. Avoid ashes, meat, charcoal and diseased plants in your compost.
Is there a natural way to kill weeds? Use a lot of layers of newspaper in order to achieve weed control. Weeds can only grow in sunlight. With layers of newspaper on them, the weeds are not going to have light, and therefore will not grow. Newspapers tend to break down into compost nicely. It can look more attractive by adding a mulch layer.
Now you can see how organic gardening is so enjoyable. Properly growing your garden can involve serious relaxation and even some fun. Use these tips to get your organic garden up and running in no time.
