Garden Remedies And Garden Enemies, Never Surrender

The first of these garden remedies against garden enemies is an old wooden box covered with glass, plexiglass, or a protective cloth. The underlying advantage is safeguarding from cold, making it possible to establish growth earlier than Spring frost may allow, or protecting plants from an early Fall frost.

A plastic or cardboard collar is a more manageable garden remedy for defending early-season plants. Make a collar of either cardboard- such as a sonotube- cardboard or a ditch culvert- made of plastic. Find these at various large home improvement centers, and they come in multiple sizes. Cut the collars to the desired height and place them around the plant and either bury it several inches into the soil or pile mulch upward around the outside of the collar.

Garden Remedies Against Insects 

Apply powdered pesticides by shaking a handheld canister or using a powder gun. Apply liquid pesticides using plastic spray canisters- relatively inexpensive, with a short life span, or metal, moderately more expensive, with a longer life span. Ensure that the mixtures are correct, not over-pressurized, and environmentally friendly and that you have enough wand to reach your plants adequately. Wand extensions are available for more coverage in hard-to-reach places, such as shrubs, trees, and climbing vines.

Common Gardening Tools

A spade digger, pronged cultivator, and spade-fork are the most utilized tools for the average gardener. You’ll want the long-handled ones in your garden to give the leverage of penetration and pull in the time of harvest and weed removal.

A good set of gardening shears are handy to keep around. Sharp, clean, and in good working order. Use a sharpening file for smooth cutting, lightweight oil for lubricating moving parts, and rubbing alcohol not to cross-contaminate trees or plants.

Give Your Plants Support

Supporting your plants with stakes, garden wire, and cages promote strength as your plants begin to mature, along with the appearance of a tidy garden.

When it comes to garden remedies against your garden’s enemies, the key is to stay on the offense. Preventative measures and maintenance go a long way in having more time to enjoy your garden.
