One way to help ensure good air circulation in your garden is to open the windows and doors as much as possible. This will allow fresh air and sunshine in, while discouraging pests and insects from entering.
If you want to grow crops in your garden, there are a few basics that you will need to prepare the ground before planting. One way to do this is to use organic matter, compost or manure. This will help to improve the soil's texture and make it easier to plant seeds in.
Compost is a good soil amendment to help supply nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Blood meal is a good source of iron and manganese. Cottonseed meal provides a good balance of amino acids for fertilizing plants. Rock phosphate supplies phosphorus, magnesium and potassium. A complete fertilizer will provide all the nutrients your plants need.
To help retain moisture and suppress weeds, mulch around plants with shredded leaves, straw or compost. This will help to keep soil warm and moist, and discourage weed growth.
Greenhouses also help to increase humidity and temperature, in order to protect plants even more. This is because they are designed with a higher concentration of both variables than the outdoors.
Shelf gardening is a great way to extend the growing season. By growing plants on shelves you can keep them out of the weather and dirt, increasing their chances of survival. When planting in spring or fall, choose plants that are hardy in your area.
Grow lights work by providing energy to the plants through a light bulb. This energy helps the plant grow and develop. The use of grow lights can make your plants really flourish.
