lehigh gardening

Even as children, we used to blow the small parachute seeds to watch them go into the sky. Follow these simple rules in order to get started with your garden this spring.

The average winter low temperatures for a particular area are the basis for zone hardiness. Understanding the growth pattern of different species of grasses will help you determine the best grasses for your landscaping project. The rows tend to waist valuable compost materials, not to mention that stepping on the soil in between rows kills the soil structure.

It is very important to kill all weeds before you begin planting your garden. Make sure to raise the beds eight to twelve inches above ground to give them proper drainage. Pruners come with different types of blades that you use for different types of plants.

Also, get yourself a compost pail. Be careful not to spray on your plants as it could harm certain plants.
