Gardening Advice
Q: What can I do about weeds in my garden?
A: Weeds can be a common problem in gardens, but there are several ways to manage them. One method is to pull them by hand or use a hoe to remove them. You can also use mulch or low growing plants to prevent weeds from growing. Boiling water is good for killing weeds growing in paths and driveways.
Q: How can I prevent pests from damaging my plants?
A: There are several ways to prevent pests from damaging your plants. One method is to use companion planting, which involves planting certain plants together to repel pests. You can also use natural pest control methods such as introducing beneficial insects or using natural pesticides such as neem oil. Physical barriers such as netting or fruit bags can keep your produce from being eaten by pests. Keeping plants healthy will help plants to naturally defend themselves against attack by pests and diseases.
Q: How can I improve the health of my soil?
A: Healthy soil is essential for growing healthy plants. Adding organic matter such as compost and well-aged manure will help to improve the water and nutrient holding capacity, and improve drainage. Using natural fertilisers such as worm castings or organic slow-release manure-based fertilisers will improve soil fertility. Testing and correcting pH (aim for pH of 5.5-7.5) will ensure the bioavailability of nutrients in the soil.
Q: What should I do if my plants are not growing well?
A: If your plants are not growing well, there may be several factors at play. Check to make sure they are getting enough sunlight, water, and nutrients. You may also need to adjust the pH of your soil, use a wetting agent to improve soil water holding capacity, or add organic matter to improve its health.
Q: How can I prevent diseases from affecting my plants?
A: There are several ways to prevent fungal, bacterial or viral diseases from affecting your plants. One method is to plant disease-resistant varieties, and only planting certified plants or seeds. You can also practice good hygiene by removing dead or diseased plants, avoiding over watering, and cleaning all tools and equipment.
