One good way to have a steady supply of healthy, fresh vegetable is to develop an organic garden. It does take some time and effort, though. There is a diversity of seeds that are suitable for organic gardening as well. With the following steps, you can make sure that you get exactly what you need for your organic garden to grow properly.
Learn the proper way to lay sod. Before you use sod, you need to prepare the soil. Remove the weeds, then break up the soil into fine tilth. Make sure your soil is flat and compacted. Make sure the soil is thoroughly moist. Stagger your sod so that each joint offsets from joints in adjacent rows. Compact the sod down so you form a flat and even surface, then fill in any crevices within the sod by using some soil. Water the sod each day for two weeks so it will become well-rooted and ready for foot traffic.
Using a shovel in clay soil is a lot of work, not only is the clay hard, but it will stick to the shovel and make it twice as hard to handle. Make your shoveling job easier by lightly coating a shovel with a layer of wax, then buffing the surface. Either car wax or floor wax will work just fine. This will make your task easier because the clay won't stick to the shovel. It will also keep your garden tool from rusting.

Cover the fences and walls with climbers. They can be used to cover up unsightly fences or walls. Often, they can grow enough to cover up an eyesore in one season. They can also grow through existing shrubs or trees, or be trained to cover an arbor. A number of climbers need to be attached to a support, but others just take care of their own attachments via tendrils and stems that twine. Reliable varieties include wisteria, honeysuckle, climbing roses, clematis, and jasmine.
