Rules of Gardening
The rules of gardening are made to ensure that one has a pretty decent garden. For our garden to flourish one must strictly follow the rules of gardening. Some of the rules of gardening are given below:
While gardening one must not fertilize trees, shrubs or other landscape plants especially if he is living in an area where freezes occur suddenly because doing so will encourage new growth which is extremely susceptible to freeze damage. One must also fertilize the lawn especially during the later periods of the summer season when the grass is still green, as the turf grasses are believed to store more carbohydrates,
which helps in the produce of lush green lawns. One must not scalp the lawn when the time comes to cut the lawn care as scalping stresses the turf and encourages the growth of weed.
While removing a weed one must remove the weed and not a valuable plant. One must not also use a pre-emergent herbicide two weeks before or after sowing grass seed as it prevent seeds from sprouting. While gardening one must not stake trees as it has clearly been declared after a demonstration that it is not necessary for the growth of the plants. One must not also walk in the garden beds and must try to limit the amount of walking as walking is believed to compact the spoil which prevents the gradual development of the plants. As an alternative one can use a board to walk on to distribute the weight of himself uniformly and to reduce compaction. One must not also work in the garden when the soil is still wet, as it is universally believed that working on the wet soil destroys its structure and it may require a long time to recover the lost flowers.
