What is the most important thing to do before you start a new garden?
The first step to starting a garden is to prepare it. This includes adding organic matter such as composted manure, grass clippings, leaves, straw, etc., which helps provide plant nutrients. Next, you will plant your seeds or seedlings directly into the prepared holes. Finally, water thoroughly.

How To
How to apply foliar fertilizers
Foliar fertilizers may be applied to the leaves of plants by spraying. Foliar fertilizers provide nutrients to the plants, as well as promoting growth and protection from adverse weather conditions. They can be used to treat all plants, including fruits, vegetables and flowers as well as trees, shrubs, lawns, and grasses.
Foliar fertilizers can be applied without soil contamination. The type of plant, the size of the plant and how many leaves it has will determine how much fertilizer is needed. Foliar fertilizers can be applied when the plant's active growth is taking place. This allows them faster to absorb the nutrients. When you're ready to fertilize your garden, follow these steps:
-
Make sure you know what kind of fertilizer you need. Some products only contain one element, while others may include multiple elements. If you're not sure which product is right for you, you can ask your local nursery.
-
Be sure to follow the directions. Before spraying, read the label. Spraying near windows or doors could cause damage. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
-
If possible, attach a hose to the nozzle. If you don't want to spray too much, make sure to turn off your nozzle after each few sprays.
-
Mixing different types is a dangerous thing. Mixing two different kinds can cause some harmful effects, such as burning or staining of leaves.
-
Spray at least five feet away from the trunk. A minimum of three feet should be left between the tree trunks and the edge of your area where you plan for fertilizer application.
-
Apply only after the sun has set. The sun causes light-sensitive fertilizer chemicals to be broken down by sunlight.
-
Spread the fertilizer evenly on the leaves. Spread the fertilizer evenly over large areas.
-
Allow the fertilizer to dry completely before watering.
