When gardening, beware of stink bugs and other insects, particularly in the autumn. They like to feast on all kinds of fruits, as well as peppers, tomatoes, and beans. If not taken care of, these pests can damage the garden, so take steps to cut down their population.

When deciding on which plants to include in your landscaping projects, consider evergreens which produce colorful berries. This will aid in giving your garden great color, even during the winter when other plants have lost their colors. A few examples that you could go with include the American Holly, the Winterberry, the American Cranberrybush, and the Common Snowberry.

When you are thinking about planting a garden, think about the herbs and veggies you use on a regular basis. This will make your garden space-effective and cost-effective. You want to avoid planting anything you don't use or eat, particularly if you don't have much room to garden.

Make sure to water your garden properly. You can save time by using soaker hoses when watering plants. By doing this, you won't need to water your plants individually. Keep water pressure on your hose low so you don't harm fragile plants. This allows you to leave the hose running as you go about your business.

Tempt your cat away from the plants he has been bothering by planting catnip or wheat grass near them. Additionally, use your cat's keen sense of smell to your advantage. Citrus fruit peels and mothballs both smell horrible to cats, so put them on the soil near the plants your cat likes to eat.

Water your garden wisely. Use a hose with a soaker attachment to save you time, so the garden can get watered while you are doing other tasks. Lower your water pressure on the soaker hose to avoid harming tender plants. Set the soaker hose to water your all your plants over a couple hours, and then you will be free to get other things done.

There's no need for chemical intervention if you discover powdery mildew on leaves. Mix a solution of baking soda, water, and a tiny bit of dishwashing liquid. Once a week, spray this solution on your plants and your mildew should disappear in no time. The baking soda is harmless to your plants and a very effective remedy.

When you are thinking about planting a garden, think about the herbs and veggies you use on a regular basis. This is a good way to get the most use from your garden space and reduce your food expenses too. It is pointless to grow an item your family or you won't eat, particularly if your space is limited.

Sometimes, all it takes is one little tip that can help guide you along your way to help you get started. Follow our tips to start happily on your way.
