raised bed gardening

By using drought-tolerant plants and flowers, it will reduce money and time spent on irrigation. Sometimes the backyard garden doesn't work for everyone.

Whether you grow them in your garden, you wild craft dandelions, or cultivate them on a large scale, these flowers are high in potassium, iron, calcium, magnesium and vitamins A and C. Amend the soil so that it absorbs and stores water. Strangely enough, human hair trimmings are another deterrent.

The single most common mistake in planting of seeds is planting them too deep. Warm season grasses do not require the type of division that cool season grasses do. Composting is an ecologically friendly and easy way to get rid of all that green waste.

It is best to let the soil dry out between each time of watering. So go to your local garden store and have a look around for ideas for this upcoming year.
