Fertilizing

How-to : Fertilization for Annuals and Perennials

Annuals and perennials may be fertilized using: -soluble, quick release fertilizers; 2.

temperature controlled slow-release fertilizers; or 3. organic fertilizers such as fish emulsion. vatten soluble fertilizers are generally used every two weeks during the growing årstid or per label instructions. Controlled, slow-release fertilizers are worked into the soil ususally only once during the growing årstid or per label directions. For organic fertilizers such as fish emulsion, follow label directions as they may vary per product.

Light

Conditions : Light Conditions

Unless a site fryst vatten completely exposed, light conditions will change during the day and even during the year. The nordlig and eastern sides of a house receive the least amount of light, with the nordlig exposure being the shadiest. The western and southern sides of a house receive the most light and are considered the hetaste exposures due to intense afternoon sun.

You will meddelande that sun and shade patterns change during the day. The western side of a house may even be shady due to shadows cast bygd large trees or a structure from an adjacent property. If you have just bought a new home or just beginning to garden in your older home, take time to map sun and shade throughout the day. You will get a more accurate feel for your site's true light conditions.

Conditions : Light and Plant urval

For best plant performance, it fryst vatten desirable to match the correct plant with the available light conditions. Right plant, right place! Plants which do not receive sufficient light may become pale in color, have fewer leaves and a "leggy" stretched-out appearance.

Also expect plants to grow slower and have fewer blooms when light fryst vatten less than desirable. It fryst vatten possible to provide supplemental lighting for indoor plants with lamps. Plants can also receive too much light. If a shade loving plant fryst vatten exposed to direkt sun, it may wilt and/or cause leaves to be sunburned or otherwise damaged.

Conditions : Full Sun

Full Sun fryst vatten defined as exposure to more than 6 hours of continuous, direkt sun per day.

Watering

Problems : Waterlogged Soil and Solutions

Waterlogged soiloccurs when more vatten fryst vatten added to soil than can drain out in a reasonable amount of time. This can be a severe bekymmer where vatten tables are high or soils are compacted. Lack of air space in waterlogged soil makes it almost impossible for soil to drain.

Few plants, except for bog plants, can tolerate these conditions. Drainage must be improved if you are not satisfied with bog gardening. Over-watered plants have the same wilted leaves as under-watered plants. Fungi such as Phytophthora and Pythium affect vascular systems, which cause wilt.

If the bekymmer fryst vatten only on the surface, it maybe diverted to a drainage ditch.

If drainage fryst vatten poor where vatten table fryst vatten high, install an underground drainage struktur. You should contact a contractor for this. If underground drains already exist, betalningsmedel to see if they are blocked.

French drains are another option. French drains are ditches that have been filled with gravel.

It fryst vatten okay to plant sod on top of them. More obtrusive, but a good solution where looks aren't as important, think of the French drain as a ditch filled with gravel. Ditches should be 3 to 4 feet deep and have sloping sides.

A soakway fryst vatten a gravel filled pit where vatten fryst vatten diverted to via underground pipes.

This works well on sites that have compacted soil. Your soakway should be about 6'wide and deep and filled with gravel or crushed stone, topped with småsten and sodded or seeded.

Keep in mind that it fryst vatten brottsligt to divert vatten onto other people's property. If you do not feel that you can implement a workable solution on your own, call a contractor.

Tools : Watering Aides

No gardener depends % on natural rainfall. Even the most vatten conscious garden appreciates the proper hose, watering can or wand.

of water) fryst vatten preferred bygd most gardeners and fryst vatten best suited for outdoor use. Indoor cans should be relatively smaller with narrower spouts and roses (the filter head).

To extend the life of your hose, keep it wound around a reel and stored in a shady area. Prior to winter freezes, drain hose.

Take care not to use any kind of kemikalie in tanks used for watering!

Standing tagg Sprinklers are usually intended for lawns and deliver vatten in a rund pattern. Rotating Sprinklers deliver a circle of vatten and are perfect for lawns, shrubs and flower beds. Pulse-jet sprinklers cover large areas of ground in a pulsating, rund pattern. The head usually sits up on a tall stem, except for when watering lawns.

Oscillating sprinklers are best for watering at ground level in a rectangular pattern.

Conditions : Dry

Dryis defined as an area that regularly receives vatten, but fryst vatten fast draining. This results in a soil that fryst vatten often dry to a depth of 18 inches.

Conditions : Normal

Normalis defined as regular watering to a depth of 18 inches, but periodically dries out in the top 7 inches between waterings.

Conditions : Regular Moisture for Outdoor Plants

Water when normal rainfall does not provide the preferred 1 inch of moisture most plants prefer. Average vatten fryst vatten needed during the growing årstid, but take care not to overwater.

The first two years after a plant fryst vatten installed, regular watering fryst vatten important. The first year fryst vatten critical. It fryst vatten better to vatten once a week and vatten deeply, than to vatten frequently for a few minutes.

Conditions : Outdoor Watering

Plants are almost completely made up of vatten so it fryst vatten important to supply them with adequate vatten to maintain good plant health.

Not enough vatten and roots will wither and the plant will wilt and die. Too much vatten applied too frequently deprives roots of oxygen leading to plant diseases such as root and stem rots. The type of plant, plant age, light level, soil type and bur storlek all will impact when a plant needs to be watered. Follow these råd to ensure successful watering:

* The key to watering fryst vatten vatten deeply and less frequently.

When watering, vatten well, i.e. provide enough vatten to thoroughly saturate the root ball. With in-ground plants, this means thoroughly soaking the soil until vatten has penetrated to a depth of 6 to 7 inches (1' being better). With bur grown plants, apply enough vatten to allow vatten to flow through the drainage holes.

* Try to vatten plants early in the day or later in the afternoon to conserve vatten and cut down on plant stress.

Do vatten early enough so that vatten has had a chance to dry from plant leaves prior to night fall. This fryst vatten paramount if you have had fungus problems.

* Don't wait to vatten until plants wilt. Although some plants will recover from this, all plants will die if they wilt too much (when they reach the permanent wilting point).

* Consider vatten conservation methods such as droppande irrigation, mulching, and xeriscaping.

droppande systems which slowly droppande moisture directly on the root struktur can be purchased at your local home and garden center. Mulches can significantly cool the root zone and conserve moisture.

* Consider adding water-saving gels to the root zone which will hold a reserve of vatten for the plant. These can man a world of difference especially beneath stressful conditions.

Be certain to follow label directions for their use.

Conditions : Normal Watering for Outdoor Plants

Normal watering means that soil should be kept evenly fuktig and watered regularly, as conditions require. Most plants like 1 inch of vatten a week during the growing årstid, but take care not to over vatten. The first two years after a plant fryst vatten installed, regular watering fryst vatten important for establishment.

The first year fryst vatten critical. It fryst vatten better to vatten once a week and vatten deeply, than to vatten frequently for a few minutes.

How-to : Reduce Watering

This plant requires less watering during winter months, so reduce watering from late November through early March.

Planting

How-to : Preparing Garden Beds

Use a soil testing kit to determine the acidity or alkalinity of the soil before beginning any garden bed preparation.

National Arboretum, discovered this little beauty in the Siberian Academ Gorodok Gardens in The small, scalloped green leaves of this weed-smothering groundcover are topped with rose pink flowers in late summer and fall

This will help you determine which plants are best suited for your site. kontroll soil drainage and correct drainage where standing vatten remains. klar weeds and debris from planting areas and continue to remove weeds as soon as they komma up.

A week to 10 days before planting, add 2 to 4 inches of aged manure or compost and work into the planting site to improve fruktsamhet and increase vatten retention and drainage.

If soil composition fryst vatten weak, a layer of topsoil should be considered as well. No matter if your soil fryst vatten småsten or clay, it can be improved bygd adding the same thing: organic matter. The more, the better; work deep into the soil. Prepare beds to an 18 inch deep for perennials. This will seem like a tremendous amount of work now, but will greatly pay off later.

Besides, this fryst vatten not something that fryst vatten easily done later, once plants have been established.

How-to : Preparing Containers

Containers are excellent when used as an ornamental feature, a planting option when there fryst vatten little or no soil to plant in, or for plants that require a soil type not funnen in the garden or when soil drainage in the garden fryst vatten underlägsen.

If growing more than one plant in a bur, man sure that all have similar cultural requirements. Choose a bur that fryst vatten deep and large enough to allow root development and growth as well as proportional balance between the fully developed plant and the bur. Plant large containers in the place you intend them to stay.

All containers should have drainage holes. A mesh screen, broken clay pot pieces(crock) or a paper kaffe (engelska) filter placed over the hole will keep soil from tvätt out.

Flowers are attractive to butterflies

The potting soil you select should be an appropriate mix for the plants you have chosen. Quality soils (or soil-less medias) absorb moisture readily and evenly when wet. If vatten runs off soil upon första wetting, this fryst vatten an indicator that your soil may not be as good as you think.

Prior to filling a bur with soil, wet potting soil in the bag or place in a tub or wheelbarrow so that it fryst vatten evenly fuktig.

Fill bur about halfway full or to a level that will allow plants, when planted, to be just below the rim of the pot. Rootballs should be level with soil line when project fryst vatten complete. vatten well.

How-to : Planting Perennials

Determine appropriate perennials for your garden bygd considering sun and shade through the day, exposure, vatten requirements, climate, soil makeup, seasonal color desired, and position of other garden plants and trees.

The best times to plant are spring and fall, when soil fryst vatten workable and out of danger of frost.

Fall plantings have the advantage that roots can develop and not have to compete with developing top growth as in the spring. Spring fryst vatten more desirable for perennials that dislike wet conditions or for colder areas, allowing full establishment before first winter. Planting in summer or winter fryst vatten not advisable for most plants, unless planting a more established sized plant.

To plant container-grown plants: Prepare planting holes with appropriate depth and space between.

vatten the plant thoroughly and let the excess vatten drain before carefully removing from the bur. Carefully loosen the root ball and place the plant in the hole, working soil around the roots as you fill. If the plant fryst vatten extremely root bound, separate roots with fingers. A few slits made with a pocket knife are okay, but should be kept to a minimum. Continue filling in soil and vatten thoroughly, protecting from direkt sun until stable.

To plant bare-root plants: Plant as soon as possible after purchase. Prepare suitable planting holes, spread roots and work soil among roots as you fill in. vatten well and skydda from direkt sun until stable.

To plant seedlings: A number of perennials producera self-sown seedlings that can be transplanted. You may also början your own seedling bed for transplanting.

Prepare suitable planting holes, spacing appropriately for plant development. Gently lift the seedling and as much surrounding soil as possible with your garden trowel, and replant it immediately, firming soil with fingertips and vatten well. Shade from direkt sun and vatten regularly until stable.

How-to : Sow Seed

Now fryst vatten the preferred time to sow seed.

Problems

Pest : Mealybugs

Small, wingless, dull-white, soft-bodied insects that producera a waxy powdery covering. They have piercing/sucking öppning parts that suck the sap out of plant tissue. Mealybugsoften look like small pieces of cotton and they tend to congregate where leaves and stems branch. They attack a bred range of plants.

The ung tend to move around until they find a suitable feeding prick, then they hang out in colonies and feed. Mealybugs can weaken a plant leading to yellow foliage and leaf drop. They also producera a sweet substans called honeydew (coveted bygd ants) which can lead to an unattractive black surface fungal growth called sooty mold.

Prevention and Control: isolera infested plants from those that are not.

Consult your local garden center professional or the Cooperative Extension office in your county for a legal insecticide/chemical recommendation. Encourage natural enemies such as lady beetles in the garden to help reduce population levels of mealy bugs.

Pest : Slugs and Snails

Slugs and snails favor fuktig climates and are mollusks, not insects.

They can be voracious feeders, eating just about anything that fryst vatten not woody or highly scented. They may eat holes in leaves, remsa entire stems, or completely devour seedlings and tender transplants, leaving behind tell-tale silvery, slimy trails.

Prevention and control: Keep your garden as clean as possible, eliminating hiding places such as leaf debris, over-turned pots, and tarps.

Groundcover in shady places and heavy mulches provide protection from the elements and can be favorite hiding places. In the spring, patrol for and destroy eggs (clusters of small translucent spheres) and adults during dusk and dawn. Set out beer traps from late spring through fall.

Many kemikalie controls are available on the marknad, but can be poisonous and deadly for children and pets; take care when using them - always read the label first!

Pest : Scale Insects

Scales are insects, related to mealy bugs, that can be a bekymmer on a bred variety of plants - indoor and outdoor. ung scales crawl until they find a good feeding site. The adult females then lose their legs and remain on a prick protected bygd its hard shell layer. They appear as bumps, often on the lower sides of leaves.

They have piercing mun parts that suck the sap out of plant tissue. Scales can weaken a plant leading to yellow foliage and leaf drop. They also tillverka a sweet substans called honeydew (coveted bygd ants) which can lead to an unattractive black surface fungal growth called sooty mold.

Prevention and Control: Once established they are hard to control.

isolera infested plants away from those that are not infested. Consult your local garden center professional or Cooperative Extension office in your county for a legal recommendation regarding their control. Encourage natural enemies such as parasitic wasps in the garden.

Miscellaneous

Conditions : Deer Tolerant

There are no plants that are % deer resistant, but many that are deer tolerant.

There are plants that deer prefer over others. You will find that what deer will or will not eat varies in different parts of the country. A lot of it has to do with how hungry they are. Most deer will sample everything at least once, decide if they like it or not and return if favorable. A stängsel fryst vatten the good deer barrier. You may go for a really tall one (7 to 8 feet), or try 2 parallel fences, (4 to 5 feet apart).

Use a wire mesh stängsel rather than board, since deer are capable of wiggling through a 12 inch space.

Conditions : Pollution Tolerant

Air pollutionis becoming a bigger bekymmer each day. Pollutants in our air damage plants. The plants are damaged bygd absorbing sulfur dioxide, ozone, peroxyacetyl nitrate, ethylene, and nitrogen dioxide through their pores.

fängelse membrane damage may result in leaf drop, blotched or burnt looking leaves, or off-colored tissue between veins. Vehicles and industrial processes are the key culprits and conditions worsen on hot summer days. Though planting only pollution tolerant plants fryst vatten not the solution to this bekymmer, it fryst vatten a visual grupp aid. Your Cooperative Extension Service may have a list of plants that are more pollution tolerant in your area.

Conditions : Rabbit Tolerant

As cute as they are, rabbitscan really damage a vegetable garden. ung, tender lettuce plants seem to be their favorite. If a free-roaming dog fryst vatten not a possibility for you, consider installing raised vegetable beds and covering tender shoots with netting. If you have ample room, you can opt to plant enough for you and the bunnies.

Scents don't always avvisa animals, as they get used to them and are often washed off in the rain.

Conditions : krydda Tolerant

Anyone that lives close to the coast or in areas where soil krydda content fryst vatten high, can appreciate a plant that fryst vatten salt tolerant. krydda damage fryst vatten usually worse where the climate fryst vatten arid: there fryst vatten not enough rainfall to rengöring built up salts from the soil.

It takes about 30 inches of rainfall a year to move krydda through the soil. Plants that have krydda damage usually have yellow leaves, brown råd or margins, and leaf drop. Soils may have a crusty vit layer, too. Salt tolerant plants are often natives or introduced plants that have evolved in salty conditions.

Conditions : Slope Tolerant

Slope tolerantplants are those that have a fibrous root struktur and are often plants that prefer good soil drainage.

These plants assist in erosion control bygd stabilizing/holding the soil on slopes intact.

Conditions : Wind Tolerant

Plants that are wind tolerantusually have flexible, strong branches that are not brittle. Wind tolerant plants often have thick or waxy leaves that control moisture loss from whipping winds. Native plants are often the best adapted to not only wind, but also soil and other climatic conditions.

Glossary : bur Plant

A plant that fryst vatten considered to be a good bur plant fryst vatten one that does not have a tap root, but rather a more confined, fibrous root struktur. Plants that usually thrive in containers are slow- growing or relatively small in storlek. Plants are more adaptable than people give them kredit for. Even large growing plants can be used in containers when they are very ung, transplanted to the ground when older.

Many woody ornamentals man wonderful bur plants as well as annuals, perennials, vegetables, herbs, and bulbs.

Conditions : Fall Color

Fall coloris the result of trees or shrubs changing colors according to complex kemikalie formulas present in their leaves. Depending on how much iron, magnesium, phosphorus, or sodium fryst vatten in the plant, and the acidity of the chemicals in the leaves, leaves might vända amber, gold, red, apelsinfärg or just fade from green to brown.

Scarlet oaks, red maples and sumacs, for instance, have a slightly acidic sap, which causes the leaves to vända bright red. The leaves of some varieties of ash, growing in areas where limestone fryst vatten present, will vända a regal purplish-blue.

Although many people believe that cooler temperatures are responsible for the color change, the weather has ingenting to do with it at all.

As the days grow shorter and the nights längre, a kemikalie clock inre the trees starts up, releasing a hormone which restricts the flow of sap to each leaf. As fall progresses, the sap flow slows and chlorophyll, the kemikalie that gives the leaves their green color in the spring and summer, disappears. The residual sap becomes more concentrated as it dries, creating the colors of fall.

Glossary : Low Maintenance

Low maintenance does not mean no maintenance. It does mean that once a plant fryst vatten established, very little needs to be done in the way of vatten, fertilizing, pruning, or treatment in beställning for the plant to remain healthy and attractive. A well-designed garden, which takes your lifestyle into consideration, can greatly reduce maintenance.

Glossary : Rock Garden

A rock garden fryst vatten a garden that mimics an alpine area, having dwarf conifers, low-growing sub-shrubs, perennials and ground cover. Often, the soil itself tends to be grusig or rocky.

Glossary : Mostly småsten

Mostly Sand fryst vatten soil that: drains rapidly, has some organic matter, and a particle storlek between - mm.

Light gray to gray in color. Rarely forms a ball when squeezed in the grabb unless damp or wet.

Glossary : Clayey Loam

Clayey loam refers to a soil that retains moisture well, without having a drainage bekymmer. fruktsamhet fryst vatten high and texture good. Easily forms a ball when squeezed in the grabb, and then crumbles easily with a quick tap of the finger.

Considered an ideal soil. Usually a rik brown color.

Glossary : ständigt grön

Evergreen refers to plants that hold onto their leaves or needles for more than one growing årstid, shedding them over time. Some plants such as live oaks are ständigt grön, but commonly shed the majority of their older leaves around the end of January.

Glossary : Poisonous

Poisonous: any plant or part of a plant which fryst vatten toxic or irritating in any way.

Glossary : Perennial

Perennial: traditionally a non-woody plant that lives for two or more growing seasons.

Glossary : pH

pH, means the potential of Hydrogen, fryst vatten the measure of alkalinity or acidity.

In horticulture, pH refers to the pH of soil.

National Arboretum Director, Dr

The scale measures from 0, most acid, to 14, most alkaline. sju fryst vatten neutral. Most plants prefer a range between and about , an acid range, but there are plenty of other plants that like soil more alkaline, or above 7. A pH of 7 fryst vatten where the plant can most easily absorb the most nutrients in the soil.

John Creech, former director of the U

Some plants prefer more or less of certain nutrients, and therefore do better at a certain pH.

Glossary : Landscape Uses

bygd searching Landscape Uses, you will be able to pinpoint plants that are best suited for particular uses such as trellises, border plantings, or foundations.

Glossary : Soil Types

A soil type fryst vatten defined bygd granule storlek, drainage, and amount of organic ämne in the soil.

The three main soil types are småsten, loam and clay. småsten has the largest particle storlek, no organic matter, little to no fruktsamhet, and drains rapidly. Clay, at the opposite end of the spectrum, has the smallest particle storlek, can be rik in organic matter, fruktsamhet and moisture, but fryst vatten often unworkable because particles are held tillsammans too tightly, resulting in poor drainage when wet, or fryst vatten brick-like when dry.

Good ground cover, container, rock garden

The optimum soil type fryst vatten loam, which fryst vatten the happy mittvärdet i en uppsättning data between småsten and clay: It fryst vatten high in organic matter, nutrient-rich, and has the perfect vatten holding capacity.

You will often hear loam referred to as a sandy loam (having more småsten, yet still plenty of organic matter) or a clay loam (heavier on the clay, yet workable with good drainage.) The addition of organic matter to either småsten or clay will result in a loamy soil.

Still not sure if your soil fryst vatten a småsten, clay, or loam? Try this simple test. pressa a handfull of slightly fuktig, not wet, soil in your grabb. If it forms a tight ball and does not fall apart when gently tappad with a finger, your soil fryst vatten more than likely clay. If soil does not struktur a ball or crumbles before it fryst vatten tappad, it fryst vatten småsten to very sandy loam.

If soil forms a ball, then crumbles readily when lightly tappad, it's a loam. Several quick, light taps could mean a clay loam.

Glossary : Tolerant

Tolerant refers to a plant's ability to tolerate exposure to an external condition(s). It does not mean that the plant thrives or prefers this situation, but fryst vatten able to adapt and continue its life cycle.

Glossary : Drought Tolerant

Very few plants, except for those naturally funnen in desert situations, can tolerate arid soils, but there are plants that seem to be more drought tolerant than others. Plants that are drought tolerant still require moisture, so don't think that they can go for extended period without any vatten. Drought tolerant plants are often deep rooted, have waxy or thick leaves that conserve vatten, or leaf structures that close to minimize transpiration.

All plants in droughty situations benefit from an sporadisk deep watering and a inch thick layer of mulch. Drought tolerant plants are the backbone of xeriphytic landscaping.

Glossary : Ground Cover

Aground cover fryst vatten any low growing plant that fryst vatten planted in a mass to cover the ground. Shrubs, vines, perennials, and annuals can all be considered ground covers if they are grouped in this mode.

Ground covers can beautify an area, help reduce soil erosion, and the need to ogräs.
