Each Saturday in August we will devote the Daily Tip to the benefits of gardening. Enjoy!
Cultivating a garden is a terrific way to de-stress and get back to nature. Another benefit - you control the growing conditions, so go organic! To get good results without chemicals:
- Intercrop. Bringing a diverse group of plants together in one bed creates a pleasant environment for beneficial insects, as well as nutrients for the soil.
- Compost. Don't dump your carrot peels and apple cores in the garbage. Recycle them to fuel the next generation.
- Be creative. Use crushed eggshells, vinegar solution, or stale beer to keep out slugs and snails. Garlic is an effective measure against sucking insects such as aphids.
