  Throughout history, gardening has been a great pleasure for humankind. Some people do it as a hobby, while others do it to feed their family. This article will introduce ways you can make the most of your gardening activities.
  
  The best way to start a garden is from first principles: seeds. As a green-friendly gardener, you always want to use seeds to start your new plot. The plastics used in nurseries are rarely recycled and ends up in landfills, so it is best to start with the seeds or buy from nurseries who use organic materials in packaging their plants.
  
  Use rainwater to keep your plants well hydrated, and feel confident that you are staying friendly to the environment. Using a special rain barrel or other workable container to capture rainwater can save money on monthly water bills, and make the best use of your naturals resources. Think of this alternative choice; stay natural and save money.
  
  One natural method of weed removal is called "boiling". Boiling water can be considered as an herbicide, and it is a safe one. Pour boiling water over the weeds to kill them, but make sure not to pour the water over any plants you don't want to kill. What this does it essentially kill the weeds by damaging their roots. The result is that those weeds are unlikely to regrow.
  
  When winter arrives, transfer a few plants into the house for safe storage during the cold weather. Maybe you'd like to save the most expensive plants you have or the most resistant. Dig around the roots carefully and transfer the plant to a pot.
  
  Draw up a planting schedule before you plant anything. A planting calender gives you an easy reference for which varieties of plant you are growing in each season. It can aid you in preparing ahead of time, as it will tell you what you could buy and when it is best to buy it. Any type of calendar can be turned into a planting calendar, whether paper or via a computer application.
  
  Plant perennials that are slug-proof. Creatures like snails or slugs can destroy a plant in a single night. Certain perennials that don't have tough leaves are especially tasty to snails and slugs. Some varieties of perennials are not preferred by snails and slugs, particularly perennials that have hairy, tough leaves or a taste that isn't appetizing. Some perennial families that snails and slugs won't eat include achillea, campanula, and helleborus.
  
  There are some annuals that grow better in the colder months. When plants become too out of control, simply prune them back. Following the pruning, it generally takes only a couple weeks before blooming occurs again, which creates a lovely image compared to the traditional foliage of the winter months. Dianthus and petunias are two annuals that fare well in cold weather. Likewise, snapdragons do well, too.
  
  Many of the tips here are quite easy and don't require you to have any special talents. Use the things that you have learned here to help you make your garden better. Watch your garden to see how different plants respond to these new techniques. If one thing fails, give another a go. Los Angeles Apartments
