February 4th, 2010 Posted in Green Living & News, Organic & Chemical Pesticides

Many people take pride in the work they do in their garden. Most people don’t realize how much work and care really go into maintaining a healthy and aesthetically pleasing garden.

With rising temperatures caused by global warming a gardener’s livelihood is threatened. Therefore, it is essential to care for your garden so that you can deal with the affects of global warming, reap your garden’s benefits and organically protect yourself.

Global Warming & Its Affect On Your Garden

Global warming is basically the rise of temperatures across the planet, which some believe is caused by mankind. Global warming is causing a negative reaction in many areas of the world causing glaciers to melt and many species of plants to die.

It can affect the environments in which many plants have become accustomed to for hundreds of years, throwing off their balance and in some cases killing them. Your garden isn’t immune to these changes, which is why constant care can help you avoid any issues. Scientists are trying to save the seeds of many plants across the world, in an attempt to prevent them from becoming extinct.

At this point it is still an experimental effort, but scientists have collected about 3,200 specimens to be relocated to better suited environments not expected to be as affected by the changes resulting from global warming. It is important for you to research what plants are better grown in the climate you live in, so that you guarantee they live longer and healthier lives.

4 Helpful Gardening Techniques

It isn’t always that easy to maintain a weedless organic garden, but following these techniques will bring you one step closer to having your perfect garden.

1. Use Organic Fertilizers & Mulches

Commercial fertilizer and mulches can severely hamper your garden’s growth because of the many additives and preservatives put into them. Using soybean meal is a natural way to give your garden the nutrients it needs, while not paying an arm and a leg to do so. A soybean meal is important because it helps give your plants the extra nitrogen they need to successfully thrive. You can also use cottonseed or alfalfa meal, but they tend to be a little more expensive.

2. Grow Cover Crops

These are plants that are specifically grown to help protect and improve the quality of the soil. Cover crops are often a legume because they are the most likely to improve the nutrients already present in your garden. Rye is also used extensively as a cover crop because it also is helpful in improving the quality of your garden.

3. Drip Irrigation

Depending on your garden’s size, drip irrigation can really help keep your garden weed-free. By creating a small irrigation system that allows water to slowly drip onto your crops and plants roots you avoid also watering any weeds. Drip systems are extremely successful and they help you save up to 75 percent of the water you would use with a normal sprinkler system. Drip irrigation systems are sold at all regular garden supply stores.

4. Effective Weeding

Weeds are a huge problem in most gardens, but being proactive will go a long way. The most common way to deal with this issue is just by weeding them by hand and throwing them out. In bigger gardens you can create a weed barrier of sorts by putting cinder blocks around the garden or particular plants. It isn’t the nicest looking thing to have in your garden, but it will help stop weeds from being a problem.
