How to Make Healthy, Free Garden Soil
Before I started making my own soil by composting, I would spend up to $8 per bag for potting soil. Once we moved to a 3 ½ acre homestead, I knew there must be a cheaper way. After all, our thrifty forefathers didn’t have a Bunnings or Home Depot just down the road. They also didn’t have regular curbside rubbish pick-ups. Frankly, they didn’t even have plastic bags to haul the black gold home from the local hardware store.

The Serenity In Gardening
Gardening is my new found passion, it’s something I never thought I was good at, but I needed an outlet for when I was feeling stressed or overwhelmed. I always admired how my grandma or my mom had a good hand for gardening, and seeing how their plants would flourish. My immediate passions always were painting, writing, or baking... those are the three things I was good at above everyone else in my family, it was something that I could get lost in doing and do it all the time. Baking was a hobby as well as a thriving idea for a business for me, I was able to start a at-home business, it went well, but life came along and a lot of things changed. I experienced loss in my family, my work life became quite complex, I needed something that would make me go outside and enjoy the beauty of the world. I took on gardening, I started by buying a starter kit box of lavender and sunflower seeds to see if I was any good at it, long behold, I actually had a niche for it; who knew?! So, I started making trips to Home Depot, buying small variety of plants, and I started created other things that were opening up the possibilities for more. I discovered that I had a talent for caring and taking care of something that also required a lot of love and attention. Not like I’ve never had pets that I needed to take care of, or family, but this was something for which brought joy to my heart as well as joy to others. I’m not an expert by any means in this field, I am still learning as I go, but I would’ve never imagined myself doing this and being good at it. I started getting my friends into it, I had a coworker like seeing my succulent sitting on my desk, so I took her one, and it just picked up from there.

How to use Peat Pellets
In an earlier article I listed off some items that one can use when they first start growing plants. One of the items I listed was peat pellets. Personally, I love peat pellets. They are neat and easy to use. The only setback can be the price. My local Walmart happens to sell a pack of 72 peat pellets for just under $8 USD, but I was surprised to find that online you can buy the same 72 pack for a little under $44 USD. So I would suggest shopping around to find the store with the best price. Like I said in my earlier article, peat pellets are perfect for when you first start planting your seeds. The only thing is, what do you do once your little plant baby starts sprouting up? It's hard for beginners to know when the right time to transfer your plant into a pot or garden bed is. In my experience, it really depends on the plant. So here is what I do when I use peat pellets.

GARDENING AND THE PANDEMIC
A bit of history first When I moved into my house, one of the first things I did – or, thought I did, was to have my back garden gravelled. I invited a number (at least six) of so-called specialists (oh, how naive I was) to inspect the garden and make suggestions and invited them to provide me with quotes. I waited. And waited. Eventually, one of them submitted a quote for using beach pebbles across what was the lawn, and larger stones around the base of the trees. (I had an apple tree, a pear tree and a forsythia at the time.) I had made it clear that I wanted the flower beds left as I wanted to plant something there.

5 eco-friendly pest control solutions
Almost in every land or garden, pest infestation is a significant issue. Pests wreak havoc on crops, resulting in crop losses and, as a result, financial losses. Many problems, like rodents, mosquitoes, as well as roaches, carry bacteria and viruses that can cause diseases in homes. Some of these diseases are potentially fatal if not treated properly. With this in mind, it is critical to find environmentally friendly pest control alternatives.

Why You Should Plant Moss Rose
It's finally Spring! You can finally go out and get some fresh air without having to bundle up in excessive amounts of layers. Spring is also the time of year when most will start growing their own plants. For some, you want a nice pretty plant to decorate your interior. Others are looking for plants to add to their yard's aesthetic. Moss Rose is a perfect plant that's both pleasing to the eye and easy for anyone to maintain. Moss Rose is a variation of Portulaca, a flowering succulent plant that comes in a variety of different types that can usually withstand harsh climates. Their fleshy succulent leaves store water making them able to adapt to dry weather. Depending on the variation some types can tolerate cold weather as long as there is no frost and others can withstand the intense tropical climates. Some Portulaca variants will even reseed themselves making them annual plants. Since these plants thrive in all sorts of climates and can take over an area. Some Portulaca variants are considered weeds to some gardeners.
