Spring Gardening Tips Organic and Chemical-Free

Introduction

If you’ve got a tiny garden, or maybe even just a half-acre, I’ve got some good news for you. You don’t have to turn your whole home into a gardening center if you want to be organic and chemical-free. Instead of worrying about which type of fertilizer or pest killer to buy (and how much), why not focus on the basics? The three things that are most important when it comes to gardening are location, location, and location.

Find a spot.

Find a spot that gets sun and shade.

Plant vegetables.

Now that you have your garden space ready, it’s time to plant vegetables! It is recommended that you plant your vegetables in the spring, summer, and fall. You can do this by purchasing seeds or seedlings at a local nursery or farmers’ market. If you choose to use seedlings instead of seeds, make sure they are the right type for your region and soil type (for example: tomatoes will not grow well if planted in sandy soil). The same goes for climate; some plants thrive in hotter conditions while others prefer cooler weathers so make sure to do research on what will work best for where you live before planting any plants!

Plant herbs.

Herbs are easy to grow.
Herbs are useful for cooking.
You can grow herbs indoors or outdoors.
Herbs can be grown in pots, too!

Herbs are great for summer and winter baking, as well as soups and salads—and they’re very pretty!

Dig in.

Now you’re ready to dig in. Use a spade to dig the soil, making sure it’s moist before you start. For planting holes, use a trowel; if there are clumps of weeds mixed in with the dirt, use a hoe on them until they’re dead and gone (if they don’t die right away, keep working at it until they do). Then rake the soil level so it doesn’t look like an unruly mess—and finally, move the soil around using your shovel.

That’s it! You’ve done all of your prep work for spring gardening!

Prep the soil.

Use a garden tiller on the flower bed and lawn, making sure to remove any weeds that are growing in your yard.
Dig holes for seeds or transplants using a trowel and place them near large trees or shrubs, so they can take advantage of their shade as they grow.
Apply fertilizer by placing it on top of the soil with a fertilizer spreader, or by digging directly into the soil with your hands and applying it manually along with organic compost to help improve growth rates and overall healthiness of your plants’ roots systems.

Water daily, or when dry to the touch.

Watering is essential for healthy plants. If you want your plants to grow as tall and lush as possible, you need to make sure they get plenty of water. Plants will always let you know when they need some—if a plant gets too dry, its leaves will wilt and droop.

If you don’t water your potted plants daily or when they feel bone-dry on the top inch or two of soil (which is the first place roots draw their moisture), it could cause them to drop their leaves prematurely before they’ve had time to flower and fruit properly. It’s also important not to overwater because this can lead to root rot—one of the most common problems in container gardens where there isn’t good drainage around the roots as they grow into deeper potting mix or soil mix that stays too wet due to lack of air circulation around them.

To see what kind of watering schedule works best for your particular plants’ needs, pay attention carefully over a few days: If a plant looks like it needs more than one heavy rainstorm during that period then take action by watering more frequently until better weather arrives again later on down the road when things start heating up outside again after winter ends next month.”

Give them food.

You can fertilize your garden with compost, compost tea, organic fertilizer or chemical fertilizer. If you have a small garden, adding a few cups of compost to your soil will give it the nutrients it needs to grow healthy plants. You can make compost tea by soaking spent coffee grounds in water for 24 hours and then allowing the mixture to ferment for another day. You’ll be left with an acidic liquid that’s perfect for feeding your plants! You can also add some manure and other scraps from your kitchen if you don’t have any coffee grounds on hand.

If you want to use a more commercial product instead of making compost tea yourself (or if you’re not into making things from scratch), there are plenty of options available commercially as well—just check out our list of recommended organic fertilizers here!

Gardening can be easy and fun if you follow a few steps

Gardening can be easy and fun if you follow a few simple steps:

Water your plants. Plants need water to live, so it’s important to remember to water them regularly.
Feed your plants. It’s also a good idea to feed them fertilizer (which should be composted first) in order for them to grow strong and healthy.
Rotate crops so that pests don’t become an issue as well as taking care of weeds naturally without having to use chemicals or pesticides on your land. This will make sure that everything is growing at its best while also protecting the soil from toxins or other harmfull substances which may cause problems later down the road when someone else wants something planted there too!

Conclusion

In the end, nothing feels better than eating food you’ve grown yourself. Gardening is a fun and rewarding way to pass your time. If you’re interested in gardening, I highly recommend you get started today!
