Lets Cover Gardening and Plants
Gardening is a delightful pastime that can not only produce delicious fruits and vegetables for meals but can also supply beautiful flowers for your table. Whether you want to focus on growing plants in containers, need to learn more about perennials, or require a sturdy ground cover, there are a variety of gardening tips to help you.
The science of companion planting and what vegetables grow well together has been around for hundreds of years. The benefits of one plant can be used to aid in growing another. For example, planting onions by members of the cabbage family repels certain insects without the use of harmful chemicals.
No one wants to be around wasps, whether inside or out. To learn how to get rid of wasps and keep them away, avoid wearing scented lotions or perfumes when outside and never swat a wasp away, as it will come back with a vengeance! Homemade wasp traps and sprays can effectively repel these creatures and carefully destroying their nests will keep them from your yard.
What is neem oil used for? Neem oil, derived from the Azadirachta indica tree, also known as the “tree of life,” is a natural solution for many different problems. As an anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and anti-fungal agent, it relieves many skin conditions, improves hair quality and softness, resolves mouth issues, and repels fleas and ticks and other bugs in the garden. How versatile can you get?
Thankfully, deck cleaning with a homemade deck wash is usually only needed once a year. This labor-intensive job is not difficult, just time-consuming. A solution of bleach and water generally works well, whether you use a pressure washer or scrub brush. Sealing the wood after cleaning ensures that the finish will last longer and that it is conditioned.
