My back aches from shoveling, but the weeds still grow faster than the flowers.
The garden, which should bring joy, in reality turns into a battlefield.
However, it is not necessary to dig until you are exhausted.
Five tricks will help you achieve clean garden beds without spending all weekend weeding and watering.
Mulch instead of sweat
The first trick is to use mulch.
Cover the soil with straw or grass clippings. This will retain moisture, slow down weed growth, and keep the soil loose without much effort.
Bottles on guard
Bury plastic bottles with holes in the bottom next to the plants and fill them with water.
The moisture will go straight to the roots, and you will forget about the watering can.
Compost to the rescue
The third idea is to nourish the soil.
To do this, collect vegetable peelings and coffee grounds in a bucket and add them to the soil once a week.
Plants will come back to life and chemistry will be a thing of the past.
Beds up
Make raised beds from boards or old boxes. This will make it easier to care for them and the rain won't wash them away.
Neighbors with Benefit
The fifth trick in planting. Plant marigolds or mint next to cultivated plants. They will scare away pests, and your garden will bloom without losses.
These simple techniques won't turn you into a slave to the shovel.
Just try to change your approaches to working in the garden, and the garden will become a place of relaxation, not hard labor.
