Picnic Tables Are Easy to Plant
By Kathy Moran
With spring in full swing, many of us are working ardently to erase any remaining signs of winter from our backyards. Besides putting out the picnic tables and patio furniture, we’re mowing, weeding, seeding, pruning, and planting, in order to create spectacular gardens.As with everything else, this is easier for some people than it is for others. While certain individuals seem to have innate talents for growing things, others can’t even keep thriving potted plants alive. There are also those who inherited their green thumbs from parents or grandparents who were skilled gardeners. Then, there are the ones who have the huge and unfair advantage of living in areas that have inherently fertile soil.Whether you’re an expert or a novice, good soil makes all of the difference in whether the seeds that you sow will flourish or falter. Naturally, experienced gardeners already know this, while many beginners get disappointing results, even when they’re sure that they’ve done everything right. In many cases, their only mistake was planting in poor soil.Although there are ways in which you can easily identify soil that has too much clay or sand in it, sometimes there are no obvious signs that soil is inferior. If you’re not sure what you’re dealing with, one good way to find out is to take a scoopful of dirt to a nursery or garden center and have it tested. The resident expert, upon getting the results, will be able to recommend supplements, also called amendments, that will enrich the soil. These can be added with a shovel or rotary tiller when the ground is dry.If you want to take the easy way out, you can buy top-quality potting soil by the bag – or, rather, bags. The trouble with this solution is that it’s also a more expensive way out, as you will need enough to cover your entire garden bed at a depth of 1½ - 2 feet. If you don’t want to spend that much money, try mixing bagged garden soil with the dirt in your garden.Once you have your soil situation resolved, and you’re ready to begin choosing plants for your garden, make sure that you get the proper ones for your region. To get started in the right direction, read plants’ labels. Besides listing the zones in which they thrive, they’ll tell you when, and how far apart, to plant them, whether they’re annuals or perennials, what their water requirements are, how much sun they will need, and how large they will grow. All of this is vital information that will help to ensure a brilliant outcome.Another way to produce stunning results in your backyard is to plant a gorgeous picnic table from AllPicnicTables.com.
