Gardening Advice and
Tips for your Garden


Keep reading to find some gardening advice and tips for your rose garden.

For healthy plants- do what I do...

Crushed egg shells worked into the soil are very good for your plants. They promote root growth. After breakfast, crush up those shells, and work them in around the rose plants. (or just add them to the

Compost pile) I also sprinkle some Epsom salt into the soil around the plants, and work it in. This helps promote root and plant growth, and gives the leaves a nice, dark green color.

Banana Peels are high in Potassium. Good for root growth and flower production. Cut the peels into small pieces, and work into the soil.

Note: when (working things into the soil) be careful not to dig to deep. Carefully pull back the mulch, and dig only into the top most part of soil, or you will disturb and expose the feeder roots. Then carefully replace the mulch. It's also a good idea to water the plants after adding anything to it.

Organic Solution to Win the battle against Fungal Infections!

Gently remove some of the mulch from around the roses, then sprinkle a half cup of cornmeal around the base of the plant. Replace the mulch.

Cornmeal promotes the growth of good fungus that competes with the fungi that cause powdery mildew and blackspot!

It also provides nutrients to the plants!
