It's that time! Time you're looking forward to the taste of all the wonderful vegetables from your garden. Wow I know I am! I thought I would do a series of gardening tips to help you grow a lush vegetable garden this year. You don't need a lot of chemicals, just the right information and a little elbow grease.Tip # 1.
How Often Should You Weed Your Garden.
Weeds not only make your garden look untidy and uncared for but they also rob your vegetables of water and necessary nutrients, so be sure and pull them when you see them. This is especially important in the early stages of growth in your garden. Studies show that keeping your garden weed-free for the first four to six weeks can have a significant impact on the productivity of your plants. Preventing weeds from returning is not that difficult if you put down three to six inches of coarse mulch. A study by the Ohio State University showed that shredded newspaper suppressed the weeds and increased the yield of tomato plants.
It is always a very pleasant sight to view a well kept vegetable garden from your deck or patio.
