Maintenance Tips as Your Garden Grows:
During dry periods, vegetable gardens need
extra watering. Most vegetables benefit from an
inch or more water each week, especially when
they are fruiting.
• Mulching between the rows will help to
control weeds, conserve moisture in the soil
and provide you with pathways to access your
plants. Black plastic may be used, or you can
use grass clippings, straw, wood chips or
garden debris.
• Throughout the growing season, you should
stay on top of insect pests. Discovering a bug
problem early will make it much easier to take
appropriate action and eliminate the pests. Do
not use pesticides once the plants have fruited
unless it becomes an absolute necessity, and
be sure to follow the manufacturer’s recom-
mendations.
• Weeds rob your vegetables of water, light and
root space. If you keep them pulled regularly (try
to get the entire root) the job isn’t too bad. If they
are allowed to go to seed, you may be dealing
with thousands of weeds instead of a few.
• Once you have harvested your crop, put the
spent plant and other vegetable matter into your
compost pile so that it can be recycled into your
garden next spring.
