Some Important Practises
Develop
a regular habit of checking your small fields daily for any kind of emerging
weeds. These are a nuisance to your hard work. If you catch them young it will
save you a lot of work and headache. They are easy to pull up during their
sprouting stage. They sprought out daily with great strength as we have put a
strong foundation for healthy plant growth.
Just
spend a little time say 15 - 20 minutes daily inspecting your plants, this will
help you pull out the useless weeds and also look for any type of pest attacks too.
Missing a day of spending some minutes in your farm wont’ harm much, but if you
are away for more than a week......then I suggest please forget about it. Besides,
one of the most interesting part of your daily visit is being surprised by the
growth of your plants....you would never believe the climbers progress.
Another
important thing is Being Too Organic.
Organic
plant’s have their own way of taking care of themselves...but that doesn't give
excuses for us to be careless. Even organic plants require pest control and
fertilizer. Never neglect these two things. Try using inorganic chemicals. I’ll
describe in coming posts how you can create you homemade pesticides briefly.
Slowly
you will become an expert on which plants to grow in which season, what are
their specialties and what type of organic pesticides they need and which one will
thrive this hot summer.
Never over plant your farm. Being overambitious and over planting could lead to
unpleasant results.
Like
humans plants too need some space to thrive to the climatic conditions,
moreover a little space between them slows down the process in the course of a
pest attack. You could easily get in between them to volunteer their progress
also... if they have ample space. When your plants get mature they need some
space to bear their fruits also.
As
I have mentioned above some flowers like marigold can be planted in between the
vegetables...some of them have the ability to keep out some kind of miscreants.
About
the sunlight you need sunlight unfiltered for some vegetables like tomatoes for
more time of the day, this will give you a great result.. whereas spinach, lettuce and
cabbage prefer shaded sunlight. So plan your farm according to the seeds or
crops you prefer to grow.
Thanks for reading friends, see you soon.
