He has spent a lot "of time and effort to make sure your garden is planned in the most promising, and taking into account the best way to grow the organic garden. Now you have to take care of their soil. Plants need light and water to grow. The light is attended by mother nature, be careful of the water! Water the garden every night after dinner can be good therapy for the gardener, but not good for plants. When the soil is often sprinkled on top, but never very wet, plant roots tend to stay wet, where a few inches of soil are vulnerable to the hot mid-summer heat and drought. Vegetables need an average of 2 inches of water per week. Be sure to water thoroughly so the soil is moist to a depth of 4 to 6 inches. This will encourage deep root growth. The germination of seeds and seedlings should be kept evenly moist without being swept away, so water with a gentle spray every day or two. The development of plants should be watered deeply but less frequently to encourage deep root growth. Water to a depth of at least 6 inches and then let your thumb or two surface completely dry before watering again. As a general guideline, garden plants have been watered properly, so they have developed deep roots, they need a deep watering every 5 to 7 days of heat. Watering delivered directly to water plants, waste disposal, but it takes time. Spot checks to ensure that water supplies are sufficient, and beware of giving to all areas of the garden, adequate coverage. Irrigators have the disadvantage of wastewater for irrigation and other open spaces within the garden. We also lose water through evaporation and wind drift. Why wetting the foliage, sprinklers can also promote the development of leaf diseases. However, the sprinklers are easier and eliminate the need to stay out of the holding of an extra 20 minutes – especially if you have a large garden. If you use oscillating sprinklers above the plants so that the increased flow of water are not blocked. To ensure that all plants are watered, place sprinklers so patterns overlap. Runoff water indicates the need for a slower pace. You might also consider a simple garden hose and make their own irrigation system to make holes in the lid of her gentle angle. Simply place the tube between the rows of plants and move when the irrigation is done in that particular section. Normally, water your garden in the evening when it's cooler. This will reduce the possibility of evaporation from sun and heat. Early morning watering is fine, but less effective. Afraid of over-watering your garden. This can cause the plants are less efficient and produce disappointing returns. Generally, the first weeks after implantation and transplantation and during development of the fruits or storage organs are times when the plants can be affected by shortages of water, that water in abundance in these times . Obviously, Mother Nature will provide some of its water as well. Monitor rain levels and make sure your garden is enough moisture, if it rained, to see if he has to say. Healthy plants that produce a large amount of healthy food can also get a boost from the need for some type of fertilizer. Composting can provide this, but there are other ways to fertilize. One of the best sources of organic fertilizer is animal manure. Beef, chicken, rabbit, horse and mink are among the most readily available in many parts of the world. They are best used after you have had the opportunity to rot a few years. That provide some nutrients from plants, beneficial bacteria, humus, better ventilation and helps to retain moisture when mixed with garden soil. Fertilizers are available in dairy farms, stables and chicken farms. Usually you have to take it from these sources, using its own trucks. Sometimes companies offering stocks mulch or soil and also provide one or two types of fresh or well rotted manure. A control section of the wishes of the newspaper ads are usually additional sources of supply. If you use fresh manure is best applied in the fall, as they tend to burn or delay of the plants if used during the spring growing season. Well-rotted manure can be used in the spring. You should apply fertilizer around the base of the plant. You can use fresh or rotted manure to make a liquid tea to feed plants. The tea is usually made from one part of manure and ten parts water. Let it set for several days before using it then spray directly on the ground. The process of dry manure, are often available in garden stores and can be used for top dressing of or can be mixed into the soil of the plant. Fish meal, blood meal, bone meal, animal manure, cottonseed meal and sewage sludge are organic sources of nitrogen fertilizer. Rock phosphate and bone meal are two organic fertilizers used to supply phosphorus. Wood ashes and rock potash are the two main sources of organic potassium. The department usually stock a local organic garden fertilizer above. You can also make your own fertilizer. Search our recipe section! When it comes to fertilizers, seed meal and various types of lime are the most important ingredients. Only these will grow a large garden. Seed meal are byproducts of the manufacture of vegetable oil. They are made of soy, linseed, sunflower, cotton, canola and other plants. The different regions are the different types more easily available. Seed meal are stable and stored for years if kept dry and protected from pests in a metal container with a lid to seal. Lime is ground, natural rock containing large amounts of calcium, and there are three types. Calcium carbonate is relatively pure agricultural lime. Gypsum is calcium sulfate and is included because sulfur is an essential nutrient for plants. Dolomite or dolomitic lime contains calcium carbonate and magnesium, usually in more or less equal. If you have to choose a genre, you probably should be dolomite, but will get a better result with the three types. These substances are not expensive when purchased in large bags of agricultural suppliers. Organic fertilizers are much more favorable to the environment and the health value of our food compared to traditional chemical fertilizers. Why? Organic fertilizers, manure and compost will release its nutrient content the same way they break down – as it decomposes slowly by the complex ecology of living creatures on earth. The complete decomposition of most organic fertilizers lasts about two months in warm soil. During that time, the steady release of nutrients. With organic fertilizers, overdose can be a real problem. They are so strong that it is easy for novice gardeners to cross the line between enough and too much. However, despite its strength, low-cost mixtures are incomplete. Only provide nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Unless the manufacturer intentionally adds other essential minerals, mixing of chemicals not supplied. Chemical fertilizers rarely contain calcium or magnesium, which plants need in large quantities with small traces of many minerals. Economic chemical fertilizers dissolve quickly in the soil. The result usually in a burst of rapid plant growth, followed by five or six weeks after a fall that requires other large applications. In case of heavy rain, chemicals dissolved in ground water will be transported as deep as the water soaks into the soil (this is called "leakage"), so deep that the roots of the plant can not reach them. With heavy rain or watering too heavy, fertile soil becomes barren. The chemicals can also pollute groundwater. The leaching risk is particularly high in the clay soils that contain little or nothing. Chemical fertilizers can be made to be "slow release", but these cost several times more than that dissolve easily in water. Seed meal in a mixture of natural organic fertilizer with slow release fertilizers, and are generally less expensive than the slow release of chemicals. You should fertilize the plants once every three to four weeks. You want to pay attention to how the plants are doing and fertilize accordingly. Some plants need more attention than other fertilization. Beans, peas, carrots and vegetables are among the low demand for fertilizers. They have fewer requirements for additional plant nutrients to the medium-term demand. Most garden plants plants demand averages. These include tomatoes, corn, squash, zucchini, cabbage and peppers. Be careful not to over-fertilize these plants. A good rule is 4-6 liters of fertilizer per 100 square meters with a layer of 1 / 4 inch of compost. Some vegetables are high in demand for artichokes, cauliflower, turnips and spinach. These require the same 4.6 liters of fertilizer per 100 square feet, but should increase the level of compost to 1 / 2 ". High demand for vegetables are sensitive, particularly sensitive and generally do not thrive if planted in light, loose and wet soil always offered the highest standard of nutrition. Of course, you need to stay on top of the clean to ensure that your plants have enough room to grow and the weeds are not steals their food! We intend to treat the garden, at the same time every day. Morning is best because it is cooler in the summer and not have to endure the oppressive heat. Do not let weeds take over. For this reason you should do every day so you do not have a big job, if we neglect a week or so. Caring for a garden may need to get their hands and knees to pull weeds from the center of the rows of beans or cabbage plants, to do this. save strain on your back and, of course, closer to the natural environment that is your organic garden! Then just sit and wait for the benefits of your garden – fresh! Of course, the successful gardener knows that time is not cold, your job is not finished yet.
