Garden Tips

Grow bag raised Bed



Did you know that you can use products in your home medicine cabinet to help your plants ?  One such product is called Hydrogen Peroxide. You must use a 3% solution as noted on the bottle and then dilute ½ cup of hydrogen peroxide with a gallon of water.

The hydrogen peroxide has an extra molecule of oxygen h202 that is very beneficial to your plants root system. This solution can help clear up the condition called root rot where your plants get water logged from over watering and die. It also is a great fungicide that will help with most fungus leaf problems.

The application is simple just mix ½ cup with a gallon of water and apply to the soil around your plants. This will help your plant to have more oxygen in the soil and able it to take up more nutrients found in the soil.

USDA ORGANIC







What is all the fuss about Organic anyway ?  In order for a product to be classified as Organic it has to be certified by the Federal Government  National Organic Program certified agent.

Generally speaking Organic certification requires that farmers and handlers document their processes and get inspected every year. Organic on-site inspections account for every component of the operation, including, but not limited to, seed sources, soil conditions, crop health, weed and pest management, water systems, inputs, contamination and commingling risks and prevention, and record-keeping. Tracing organic products from start to finish is part of the USDA organic promise.

The official Government organic label is marked USDA in green with a brown circle arount the outside. You will see this certified label on all organic seeds that we give our customers as members of our Garden Community at https://www.groworanicvegetablegardening.com
