If vegetable gardening is something you enjoy doing, then organic vegetable gardening is for you. It’s a fun and health-promoting activity that also keeps our environment clean. Organic vegetable gardening isn’t demanding and is something that can be done in your free time. However, with organic vegetable gardening comes the dilemma of what to do with pests, since no pesticides or insecticides may be used. In this article, we will be discussing a few herbal organic gardening tips that will get rid of few nasty pests.One of the geotechnical engineers who also delt with flower deliveries and flowers Auckland had much to offer in this aspect.
Garlic (Allium Sativum) is the perfect plant to have in your organic vegetable garden, in order to get rid of aphids. It has pungent flat leaves and white flowers in the summer. Cloves planted in the fall or spring will increase and be ripe for picking in high summer or fall respectively. Be sure to plant them no closer than six inches apart and about one inch deep into the soil. In order for garlic to grow to its full potential, it requires lots of sun and well-drained soil.
Spearmint (Mentha Spicata) is the perfect plant to have in your organic vegetable garden, in order to get rid of ants. The spearmint leaves are green and sharply toothed, and have a have a cool and refreshing scent. It is a rampant colonizer, but I’d rather have a lot of spearmint than a lot of ants. It’s also a great culinary herb. As with garlic, be sure to plant spearmint no closer than six inches apart and about one inch deep into the soil. In order for spearmint to grow to its full potential, it requires a slightly shaded spot in your garden.
There are a number of types of prostrate rosemary, but I have found Rosmarius Lavandulaceus to be the most effective of them all to have in your organic vegetable garden, in order to get slugs and snails. It is distinguished by its violet-blue flowers. In order for prostrate rosemary to grow to its full potential, it requires lots of sun and well-drained soil.
The beautiful thing about organic vegetable gardening is that not only do we not pollute the environment with man-made chemicals, but we also keep ourselves healthy by eating all-natural vegetables. There is also a dual effect of the above herbs. Not only do they get rid of pets, but they also serve us well in the kitchen. Enjoy your garden!
