Your back yard garden can be a plentiful source of luscious fruits and nutritious vegetables. What could be better than making a salad from the vegetables in your garden? Use the common sense advice in the article below to ensure a bountiful harvest.


Using a shovel in clay soil is a lot of work, not only is the clay hard, but it will stick to the shovel and make it twice as hard to handle. Take the hard work out of using a shovel in clay soil by rubbing a light coat of car or floor wax over the surface with a clean cloth and buff the surface. This will keep the soil from sticking, and prevent rusting of the tool.


For a garden that thrives, choose the right type of soil. Depending on the type of plants you desire in your garden, your natural soil may or may not be appropriate. It can happen where one artificial area is designated to have just one type of soil.


If your plants do not grown very tall, try buying some knee pads used for gardening. Kneeling on the ground as you garden will eventually cause serious discomfort for your knees. Cushion your knees with a pair of gardening knee pads.

Pest control can become a major issue. Don’t spray any harsh chemicals on your vegetables because you will be eating them later on. Frequently check your garden for pests. When you catch a potential infestation early, the solution may be as simple as picking the pests off of your plants with your fingers.
