Epsom Salt

While fertilizer is an essential part of keeping your plants healthy, you might not know that Epsom salt acts as an incredibly effective fertilizer for your shrubs. Epsom salt contains magnesium, which allows your seeds to germinate and helps your plants absorb vital nutrients they need to stay alive. It’s cheap, easy-to-use, and it will keep your plants healthy and your garden filled with greenery.

Use roughly two teaspoons of Epsom salt mixed with one gallon of water per month. Pour the mixture onto the base of your plants, then sit back and watch them grow!

Start Rose Cuttings In A Potato

Potatoes can also help you have a very beautiful garden. In fact, they can help you grow a variety of plants or flowers very easily! First, you’ll need to drill a hole in your potato. To do this, you can use a nail of considerable size.

Next, cut one inch off the stem of the plant you want to grow, then place it in the hole before you plant your potato. Whether you want some rose bushes, but find them too expensive, or you’re dreaming about various herbs instead, this tip is very effective and will save you a lot of money!

Take inventory of your garden

Make a running list of newly-added plants and their locations—this will help you remember what you planted where, which will prevent the inadvertent weeding (and replacing) of a “good plant.” Save perennial plant tags and store them near your favourite how-to gardening book to keep all your gardening tips and planting information in one spot.
