Easy Gardening


The most important "secret" for easy gardening is gaining invaluable information at your county agricultural center. Make a visit there a priority before you even start to plan your garden and grow huge garden plants .


The helpful staff can not only tell you what native plants would be recommended to make your gardening more successful, but they can also guide you as to the type of garden you should attempt if you are new at this project. They will advise on what soil and mulch you should use as well as what fertilizer, whether to plant what you choose in sunlight or shade, how much watering is needed plus a wide variety of other suggestions that will help you on your way to a desired outcome.


Once you have your garden planted, here are some interesting easy gardening ideas for the used coffee grinds and tea bags from your breakfast:
(1) Coffee grounds make for healthier plants such as roses and camellias.
(2) Coffee grounds help reduce garden pests.
(3) Tea bags can be buried whole or cut open and sprinkled onto the soil.
(4) Place tea bags intact on potted plants underneath the soil. This retains moisture and gives the plants energy.
