Getting the Best Back from Weeds

The widespread damage that weeds cause is often underestimated. Besides crippling your plants, they also drain a massive amount of nutrients from your garden’s soil in general. Remember that each weed pulled out, takes with it a load of your soil’s goodness, so don’t throw them away. Rather, place your yanked weeds into a bucket filled with water. In just a few hours, a portion of your soil’s former nutrient content will have brewed into the water. Pour the bucket out evenly over your garden and replenish the earth (minus the weeds obviously!).

Ever regretted raising a plant that sadly doesn’t belong with your outdoor or indoor plants? By planting two different plant types and then stacking them, you can ensure that you can always mix and match different plant strains to achieve the best aesthetic for your garden. Seasonal plants look best during their relevant time of the year, and certain color coding must be considered for a magazine-worthy haven. It takes some time to get the perfect blend, but you will thank yourself later when everything flows together amazingly.
