Roots are often excluded from garden maintenance schedules, and if not attended to, can end with the plant becoming root-bound and eventually in its demise.The roots continue to grow with the plant, but since they’re in a container they only have so much room branch out. As they continue growing, they’ll hit the edge of the pot and circle back onto themselves. This is how the roots end up eventually eating up most of the soil in the pot, and the plant could die of stress or starvation as a result. This is why it’s so important to prune your plant’s roots to keep it healthy

Getting overwhelmed with fertilizer choices? Fortunately, each bag you see should tell you what the mixture is best for; with the letters NPK and a three-digit number prominently displayed. For example, if you wanted to purchase an all-purpose fertilizer for your grow with equal parts NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium), then you might choose a product that had a ratio of 4-4-4. If you were looking for something that would help your sprouts during transplanting to promote root development, you would want a higher middle number such as a 2-8-4. Read on for the full scoop...

Spring is just around the corner, and it’s time to start planning your garden! From what you want to plant, where you’re going to put it, and what tools you’ll need to take out of storage or buy more of – the work has just begun! If you’re planning a container garden, you know that it’s not just the plants, it’s what you plant them in. Some containers look great, but they can be bad for your plants, bad on your back, or just won’t last a full season! If you’re in the market to update your garden, here are 6 of the most commonly used containers for outdoor planting:

 

Planning a new garden for the upcoming season can be exciting, there’s such a variety of flowers, veggies, and berries to consider! While plotting out where each plant will go, it’s best to consider what you may need to support them, as well.This goes beyond choosing soil or fertilizer – it’s understanding what you’ll need to support those plants as they grow, and they can surprise you with how fast this seems to happen! That little cucumber sprout? Before you know it, it’s a 6-foot vine snaking all through your garden and oftentimes right over the other plant!

It’s not just the sweet smell that makes these gardens attractive, it’s the colorful display that these plants give to your yard that can transform everything – red, blues, purples, you name it! But if you want to make a real statement, nothing will make more of a spectacular exhibit than a wall or trellis filled with climbing vines in full show!

Plants love the sunlight – it’s how they eat, grow, and get energy. The amount of sunlight a plant gets can have a big effect on how much the plant can grow, and how heavy their yields are. Growers have tried to better use and understand how light affects their grow; either with greenhouses or indoor grow rooms, which rely on special grow lights to simulate sunlight. Though greenhouses generally capture enough natural light to ensure a strong grow, there can come times when they need to supplement the interior with grow lights as well, and this is where thigs can get complicated.

If your harvest routine includes drying and saving herbs, fruits, spices, or any plant matter, really, then you know that an important part of finishing up the season is cleaning up to make the next season as smooth as possible. Even if you’re not drying any of your grow, clean-up is important – but for those who add drying into their repertoire, there’s a few more tools to look after, and they’re vitally important!

Let’s look at the 5 tools you use when trimming, and how you should clean them…

It’s getting close to the time when you can start a seedling indoors in preparation for having a healthy sprout to transplant when spring rolls around. Starting from seed is a common choice for many growers, as it’s far easier on the budget than buying young plants at a nursery. While it can be more profitable and add to the sense of pride you have in your grow when starting from seed, if care isn’t taken when transplanting the seedlings, it may cost you a whole lot more in the long run. That’s not say that you shouldn’t grow from seed, it just means that there’s a lot to be mindful of when moving your new plant from pot to ground. Here are the top six mistakes growers may make while transplanting:
