The
last thing you want after working on your garden for so long is to see your
plants withering and dying one by one. The sight of a failing garden can be
very heart breaking. It is more than just a failed project since as a gardener;
you get attached to the plants you are nurturing. If you are in a state where
your gardening Doveton is not fairing as you would wish,
here are a few ways in which you could improve it.
Have achievable goals
This mostly comes into
play at the beginning of the gardening Elsternwick planning. What can really drive you mad is having goals that you seem
unable to achieve. When starting out your garden, look at your schedule
carefully. Consider how much spare time you have to spend on nurturing your
garden. If you have a lot of time in your hands then you can plant plants that
need a lot of care since you have the time. However, if the only spare time you
have is on weekends or just one day in the weekend, chose plants that require
less are.
Again as you consider the
plants to out in your garden, check the kind of soil that is in your garden.
This can be done by getting a kit form your local agro vet. This will enable
you to know which plants can do well in your garden and which ones will not. It
will also help answer why some of the plants in your garden are dying and why others
‘growth may be stunted. On the same breath, consider the climatic conditions of
your region. Some plants may do well for gardening Dandenong South for instance than in gardening Dandenong North.
To improve an already
existing garden you can choose to replace some plants with others. This may
seem painful at first but in the long run it will be more beneficial. Take the
above into account and see what plants need to go and which ones need to come
in.
Fertility
Some gardens can run out
of their fertility value in a few years. This could be brought on by the plants
grown in the piece of land or the fact that the soil has not had time to
breathe since you started growing plants on it. Well, fret not; there are a few
solutions to this. Your first option would be to rotate your planting regions.
Allow me to elaborate. You can for instance choose a section of the garden and
leave it bear for a period of time. During this time, you can place fertilizer
or natural manure on it as if it were a dumping ground. This will in time give
it back the nutritional value your plants will need. After the period is over,
do this with a different section of the land. Your garden will slowly regain
its fertility making it good ground for growing plants again.
Your other option is to
apply fertilizer. This is the most common gardening Elsternwick practise. Here you will need to first of all
take a soil sample and test it to see what nutrients are missing. Then apply
the relevant fertilizers and your garden will be good as new.
