You don't have to be a professional, experienced gardener to have a great looking garden. By reading and using the following tips, you can fool anyone into believing you have a green thumb! Plants require attention and care, but a little love and effort, can really make a difference in the health of your garden.

It seems silly to recommend keeping your gardening tools clean. It is dirt after all, but the dirt on your tools can harbor bacteria and microbes that could infect your plants with disease. Also the moisture in the soil could rust your tools before it dries out. Wash them after each use and dry them well to prevent rust.

To make your garden more productive, allocate space based on what grows best in your area instead of simply choosing your most favorite crops. Although you may love beets, if tomatoes grow better in your climate then give them more room in your garden and make your beet plantings smaller. Ask your neighbors or take a look around your area to see what grows best in your region.

Give your plants an appropriate amount of water to optimize growth and plant health. Different varieties of plants require varying amounts of water so you cannot water your entire garden at the same rate. Instead, determine how often each type of plant needs water and how much before planning your watering schedule.

Try to keep your plants aerated and dry, every day. Moisture on your plants is a sure way to attract parasites and disease. Fungi are a common parasite common in the plant world. Fungi can be controlled with fungicide sprays, but it is important to treat your area with the spray, before you see any problems.

The tips provided in this article, are a great resource for making an improvement in your garden. Even if you are new to gardening or an old pro, these tips from knowledgeable gardeners, will convince you that creating a nice garden is within your reach! Give these tips a try.
