  Maximize use of the colors of autumn. A lot of shrubs, vines and trees will transform your garden into a colorful firework of colors during the fall. Leaves change color because they are no longer producing chlorophyll. The natural pigmentation that was previously covered over by the green of the chlorophyll is finally allowed to show. You should be sure that your plants recieve adequate sunlight. Aim to boost their sunlight during the afternoon, when the sun peaks. You will find excellent shrub and plant options including Boston ivy, maple, burning bush and barberry.
  
  Make sure to wear sun protection gear if you'll be working in the garden in the sun. Wear sunglasses and hats with wide brims, and apply sunscreen. Utilizing the correct sun protection makes it less likely that sunburn will occur and decreases the chance that skin cancer will develop.
  
  If you have a cut on your hand, take the time to make sure it is either healed or completely covered before you put your hands in the soil. Your cut could get infected if you're dealing with grime and dirt when gardening. You can completely seal the area using some of the great bandages that are now available.
  
  Invest in a kneeling stool, and a wheelbarrow to work in the garden. It's rough on your knees to spend lots of time on the ground kneeling or squatting. That's why it's a good idea to have a portable, lightweight garden stool on hand. Gardeners usually need a wheelbarrow to move the heavy dirt and other objects so they are a good item to buy.
  
  A good way to add to the compost pile is putting your organic materials in a plastic garbage bag. You can do this during the autumn, once you have picked your leaves up. Make sure to put the bag somewhere warm. You have the perfect compost material you can add to your garden after the spring comes.
  
  Don't use broad-spectrum pesticides for your garden. These pesticides will also kill any beneficial insects that consume the pests you are trying to get rid of. Since these pesticides often affect the good bugs more than the bad, using them can actually increase your pest problem. This will cause a cycle to start where you will need to keep increasing the amount of pesticide you are using.
  
  If you are a first time gardener, it is important that you follow all of the instructions on all of your tools and chemicals. If you miss this easy step, you run the risk of harming yourself due to the chemicals that can irritate your skin. Keep your health intact and follow the directions to the letter.
  
  Make gardening into a hobby for your children. Many children absolutely adore choosing the plants and flowers for your garden. Many see it as a fun excuse to get dirty, especially with their parents.
  
  After reading this article, you should now have a solid base of knowledge about gardening. You might have already thought you knew quite a bit about gardening, but now look! The above tips have hopefully spurred some great ideas that you can use in your own backyard to create a garden you can be proud of.
