Monsoon is the best season for planting, and also for preparing the existing plants for taking in the full pleasure of nourishment. Planting trees at this time reduces much of your labor on their establishment and maintenance.Here are some important gardening tips to be taken care for your garden at the time of monsoons.
1]Be careful to check your drainage system in the compound and garden. Water shouldn’t be allowed to stagnate in the garden as it can make plants rot easily.
2] Befriend the earthworms:
Earthworms are a gardener’s best friend. They not only aerate the soil by tunneling down about five feet, they also fertilize it.
3] Like earthworm,Frogs and toads are also a gardener’s friends. They are voracious insect eaters. Encourage them with moving water or with a small stream or pond.
4] Pull out the weeds:
Weeding is an essential part of monsoon garden maintenance. Weeds can grow rapidly during the rains and thus soak up the nourishment intended for your plants. Hence, keep trimming your garden in timely intervals to avoid harmful growth.
5] ….This is the right time for new shoots to grow but they will need some space which will be derived by Removal of dead growth.so prune your plant.
6]In monsoon we normally see accumulation of algae….so Remove the algae:
Check your soil surface for the green algae patches and remove them immediately as it absorbs all the nutrients needed for your plant.You can remove it by scraping the soil surface or can apply cinnamon powder on the soil surface.
7]Application of pesticide is much needed once fresh shoots appear after pruning. External application of organic pesticides will kill the sucking pests that prefer fresh leaves.
8] Like pesticides,application of fertilizer is also necessary in monsoon —It helps in expediting the growth with ample nourishment.
9] Insects need to be culled manually as they are numerous and proliferate during monsoon. Having the insects attracted to lights, with a bowl of kerosene placed beneath, is one way of eliminating them.
10] Set your indoor plants outside in Monsoon. They will like a bit of rainwater, it is the humidity that they love.
