Fall Gardens -- Best Plants To Grow In Cool Weather
It can sometimes seem overwhelming to think about how to learn to garden, but with proper knowledge, anyone can be taught how to grow a successful garden. Hopefully, these tips will help you to improve your horticulture skills and become an expert gardener.

Lay sod properly. Your soil should be prepared before you lay the sod. Pull all the weeds and loosen the soil so the new roots can take easily. Flatten the soil back into place, gently but firmly. Water the soil until it is saturated. You should lay your sod staggered, and have the joints offset. Firm the sod down to form a flat, even surface, and fill in any gaps between the sod with a little soil. After two weeks of daily watering, the sod should be rooted at this time, it is now safe just to walk on it.

Start your plants in containers, and then transplant the seedlings into the garden later on. Your plants will be more likely to survive if you do this. This also helps tighten time between plantings. Your seedlings will be ready to be planted when you remove your old mature plants.

If you see mildew that is powdery, stay away from expensive chemicals to treat it. Put a little baking soda and some dish soap in water. Spray this onto your plants about once per week or until it subsides. This option would be perfectly safe for your plants and gently treats mildew in a short amount of time.

Place organic mulch close to your vegetables. Mulch keeps soil moist for longer periods of time. This also helps reduce the appearance of weeds. This could save you lots of weed-pulling time.

Be vigilant about keeping moisture off your plants. Moisture on plants is sure to attract disease and parasites. An example of a common plant parasite is fungi. To control fungi, use a fungicide spray on the area before you notice any problems.

Not as difficult as you thought, right? Just like any number of topics, much has been written on the subject of horticulture, and therefore a great deal of advice is available. In many cases, all that's needed to earn some sense of the whirlwind of information is a reference point out of which to get started. Hopefully, you received that from the above tips.
