Controlling Pests And Diseases The Organic Way - Companion Planting

!±8± Controlling Pests And Diseases The Organic Way - Companion Planting

Companion planting is used to help control pests and diseases the natural way. There are various plants that grow well together, some however, do not do so well together.

Maintaining healthy plants is the best way to avoid Pests & Disease. Soil Rich in Organic Matter is a great starting point. Companion planting is a great way of keeping the nitrogen level up in the soil. In the vegetable garden you can mix Legume crops such as peas and beans with root crops such as carrots. Alternate planting's between rows of carrots and rows of Peas or Beans.

The Legumes contain Nitrogen sacks on the roots, which will aid in the feeding of the carrots and other root vegetables as they grow.

Plants that do well together to fight Pests & Disease are:

GARLIC:

Garlic planted near roses will help control aphids. Garlic is also valuable for repelling snails, and carrot root fly. Garlic in concentrated sprays have been seen to repel and kill whiteflies, aphids and fungus gnats among others with as little as a 10% concentration level! I have also used Garlic Sprays on Orchids without any problems.

LAVENDER:

Lavender can aid in repelling fleas and moths. Lavender also attracts bees which are feeding and beneficial insects. Dried lavender can repel moths. This is a great alternative to traditional methods and smells better too.

MARIGOLD:

Marigold has long been used as a companion plant for its natural insect repelling qualities. It will help eliminate Nematodes from the soil & will also repel ants.

MINT

Mint is useful planted amongst Brassica's as it is known to repel Cabbage Moth.

CHIVE

Chive planted around the base of fruit trees will help prevent insects from crawling up the trunk.

This is just a small sample of an almost endless list of potential companion plants. The above plants are very common and would be found in almost every garden. The next time your planting out a new Vegetable garden bed, consider using companion planting methods to help control pests & disease in your garden.

Elevated Vegetable Garden Essentials

!±8± Elevated Vegetable Garden Essentials

An elevated vegetable garden is basically exactly what it sounds like. Also known as a raised bed garden, it's simply a garden raised above the level of the surrounding ground. Why would anyone want to do this? Above ground vegetable gardens have many advantages.
The soil doesn't flood like low-lying land does. You can mix lots of good stuff into the soil easier. Your soil will reach warm temperatures earlier in the spring. Less bending over to reach the soil and work it.

Alright, so we've covered the what and the why. Let's talk about where. The most important factor in deciding where to put a raised bed is the amount of sunlight it will get. In most cases, the more the better. Six to eight hours per day is a general minimum, but it's possible to grow stuff with less sunlight if you don't have any other option. You also want to avoid areas that are prone to flooding. This is another one that isn't essential, however, since the raised bed will help keep your plants' roots up above the puddles. The great thing about raised beds is how versatile they are.

You can use pretty much any material you want to build the beds. If using wood, you may want to consider cedar or some other rot-resistant species. Just build a frame and fill it with soil. It can be any height. Depending on the conditions of where you build it, you may also need to install some kind of drain tile or other way for excess water to get out.

Once you've built your beds, you need to fill them with soil. If they're only slightly raised you may be able to get by with what you have already. But if you have tall beds, you'll need to bring in material from somewhere else to fill them. For the bottom few inches, wood chips are great. If you use wood chips you want them to be covered by at least twelve inches of other materials. Compost is also excellent, but you shouldn't use only compost. It is not substantial enough to support large plants, and usually does not contain all of the minerals plants need for healthy growth. You need at least some actual soil, whether it's from somewhere else on your property or purchased.

That covers the basics of elevated vegetable gardens. The real trick is to just get started and experiment as you go. Good luck with all your gardening adventures!
