Make sure to lay the sod properly. Prior to laying the sod, prepare your soil. Weeds should be removed,
and you should break up the soil into a tilth. Compact the soil firmly but lightly, and make certain it is
flat. The soil should always receive adequate moisture. Stagger your sod so that each joint offsets from
joints in adjacent rows. Make sure the sod is firmly placed to ensure a surface that is sufficiently flat and
even. Also, make sure to use soil to fill the areas where there are gaps in the sod. The sod needs to be
watered daily for two weeks, by which time it will be rooted and ready to walk on.

Planting a bare-root rose. Bare-root roses are best planted at the beginning of their dormant period to
lessen the shock of transplanting. If the roots look dry, soak them in a bucket of water for a few hours
before planting. Remove diseased or damaged stems, and trim any thick roots by a third. Place the rose
in a freshly dug hole, spreading out the roots and checking that the bud union is slightly above ground
level. Backfill with soil and water thoroughly.

If you have a vegetable garden and plan on eating the vegetables, you should inspect them carefully
every week. Look for bugs and worms or traces of disease and damages. Do not eat a vegetable that
does not look healthy. Make sure you wash your vegetables carefully before you cook them.

If you like to plant roses, before you buy any variety, ask yourself what characteristics you would like
from your roses. Different varieties have different characteristics, such as fragrance, heartiness, and size,
to name a few. The traits that you want the most from a rose bush will influence your decision on what
variety to plant.

how to can. Water bath canning is an effective way to store fresh vegetables for a very long time and is
not that difficult to learn how to do. It involves submersing jars of the gardens home grown goodies into
a bath of barely boiling water. This will preserve the vegetables for up to a year or more.

To avoid injuring yourself while gardening, be sure to do some warm-up stretches before starting your
project. Most people may not think of gardening as exercise, but injuries like pulled muscles frequently
occur in the garden. You should also be sure to move around and not stay in one position for a long
period of time.

If you do not have a lot of square footage for gardening, try using trellises or posts in your garden.
Allowing certain vegetables to grow up a trellis or post rather than spreading out along the ground will
allow you to grow more per square foot. You can do this with tomatoes, peas, and climbing beans.

When you first plant a seedling, make sure that you keep the soil moist until it germinates. This is very
important because, if the soil dries out, you risk the seedling dying. Once the seedling does germinate,
the soil can be allowed to dry in between watering, but remember that it is still delicate and needs to be
taken care of.

Keep a garden journal. The more information you collect about your site, your plants, and successes or
failures in the garden, the less likely you are to make costly mistakes in the future. Although there are
many resources to guide you, the most important resource is your own experience. Always be sure to
record important information, like the name and variety of the plant, the date it was planted, and where
in the garden it is located.

this simple method. Lay down several layers of newspaper where you plan to grow your garden, wetting
it down as you go. Cover the newspaper with thick black plastic, making sure the edges are secured so it
doesn't fly away. In the spring, remove the plastic and plant seeds right through the newspaper and into
the soil.
It is important to remember to apply sunscreen to the back of your neck as well as your ears when you
are gardening. Many people focus on their face, hands and arms when they are applying sun block
before going outside to do their gardening. Your ears and the back of your neck will get a lot of sun
exposure, so it is important to protect them too.

You can gain time by renewing your beds with this method: slice under the turf and turn it over. Cover it
with wood chips and wait a few weeks. You can then use this bed to plant your perennial plants. The
ground you have turned over should be made richer by the turf that is under it.
