Isn’t it rewarding to grow your own garden? Are you planning on planting one? Organic gardening is becoming more and more popular because it’s so much more expensive to buy organic food. Check out these tips for greening up your Sun City Center home garden.
Greening-Up Your Garden
- Collect rain water. If you are worried about the water bill, you only need a simple rain barrel that can store hundreds of gallons of water throughout the year. Attach a drip hose and you’re plants will have plenty of water during summer months.
- Start with seeds. No need to buy young plants; you can grow your own from seeds. All you need to start your new garden are soil, fertilizer, seeds, and starter containers. Your best bets for first attempts at organic gardening are tomatoes, onions, and cucumbers. You might find additional ideas you hadn’t thought of on the USDA’s own website.
- Fertilize and spray organically. Check out your local garden center for a good selection of bio-based pesticides and organic fertilizers to nourish your home garden. Organic gardening doesn’t need to break the bank.
- Compost! Don’t throw away your scraps; toss them in a compost bin and you have the perfect fuel for growing your own compost. Start small and you can scale up as your garden grows. Looking for a complete guide to composting? Begin your search here.
