ORGANIC GARDENING THE EASY WAY
I frequently receive queries from Gardeners
on various problems and its solution
I will try to give solutions as much as possible.
These are the solutions
First
Soil pH, Soil Temperature, Moisture %
Soil Temperature required is 74F to 80F
Moisture 30%
Normally fertile soil pH 5.5 to 6.5
You will need a ph meter which also shows moisture %
This will be the guide for a start
Now which flowers/ vegetables you want to plant
You should know the ph of particular flower, vegetable
The details are available on call
Next The roots, are the main point for a plant, if the root is dieased it swollen joints, or the laces are getting black this will indicate that the plant is sick, stun growth, small
flowers. You do not have to dig out the plant, just dig few inches around the roots and you will be able diagnise it.
Cure I have tried garlic small pices mixed in the soil was not fully successful, yet it survived Actually lack of phosphourus in the soil, a small percentage could be help full
Pests a long list I will be brief, generally I use Oinion/Garlic Spray it works for almost all pests. Spray under the leaves as well.
Soil is generally infected, heat, moisture assist in its promotion
So before planting, I place small pieces of Oinoin/ginger 3 inch deep in the soil, and keep the moist for 3 /4 days. This nearly destroys all posibility of pests in the soil.
Seeds I do not sow seeds in pots, or beds. I fear it will be prone to infection.
It is like a child born under unhygenic condtion will be easily prone to dieases
So I plant seeds on Foam, take dish fill 1/4th water, place foam in it, the sprinkle a few seeds, cover moist mul mul cloth, caperlilary action will place and water will keep the moist. In a few days you will see the sprouts, do not remove it until it has grown has 4 inches. Here is a healthy birth under hygenic condition. In the process it will emit obnoxious smell so keep the under a shade far away
Now place in the soil you have prepared as mentioned above..
Happy Gardening
