What does it take to have beautiful blooms in one’s own garden? Creating a pretty landscape isn’t as difficult as it may seem – there are fundamentals to follow, and one has to be hardworking and responsible enough for one’s garden. Here are some basic tips and advice to follow.

Get enough sun: Most flowering plants need to be in a site that receives full sun, or where sunlight falls six to eight hours a day throughout the growing season.

Have a healthy soil: The soil should be not too sandy, not too sticky, and has enough organic matter to drain well and invite plant roots to grow strong. Test soil pH and fertility and feed the plant with just the right amount and type of fertilizer to promote healthy soil and flower growth.

Research the best flowers to grow: Annuals go through their whole life cycle in a single growing season, while perennials have root systems staying alive underground for a few years to decades. Annuals are best for places where one wants a lot of flowers but note that they generally demand more watering and fertilizing. Perennials, on the other hand, offer steady form and structure to a garden and can build up anticipating for one’s favorite blooms.

Design the flower garden: There are many garden designs online that incorporate several kinds of blooms, such as long-living perennials or short-term yet alluring annuals, seasonal bulbs, vines, and ornamental grasses. Know how various garden plant types perform and what they can contribute to color and texture. Choose one’s preferred garden style, determine the garden’s shape and size, and review the flowers’ bloom time, to name a few important steps.

Why Fertilizing Plants Matters

Image
Why do farmers and gardening enthusiasts use fertilizers?  This seems like a no-brainer, but one that is less frequently addressed than it should be. For starters, all the nutrients in food come from the soil.  Creating healthy crops and plants means amassing nutrients and working with healthy soil.  Soils contain nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium, and potassium.  Without them, plants suffer from nutrient deficiencies and stop growing, unable to function properly and produce the necessary output. Image source: PlanetNatural.com   Fertilizers provide plant nutrients – they are exactly the plant nutrients applied to gardens or agricultural fields.  They have been used since ancient times.  Native Americans had used crude fertilizers such as burying a fish in their corn plots. Fertilizers are counted on to increase crop yield and improve poor-quality land.  Manure improves soil texture, recycles nitrogen, and introdu...

What Exactly Is The Role Of Irrigation In Agriculture?

Image
Irrigation is of value especially for communities that could be facing the effects of drought.  It is defined as the artificial application of water to soil, in the appropriate amounts and frequency, to cause optimal soil infiltration and plant growth.  The conditions to take into consideration are soil type, vegetation, size of the area to be irrigated, water pressure, and local circumstances.  Image source: clwa.org The increase in agricultural production and productivity is highly dependent on the availability of water.  Insufficient, inconsistent, and uncertain rain is causing unpredictability in agriculture.  In some parts of the world, rain is restricted to only a few months in a year, and there are times when these rains don’t come as expected, causing areas of the country to experience drought.  Irrigation assists in effectively controlling drought and famine.  In irrigated lands, a higher rate of productivity is experienced as c...
