What to do in the garden this week.
Editor’s note: Readers have missed the 5 garden tips that our late colleague Jack Christensen used to provide, and so the tips are returning courtesy of our long-running columnist Joshua Siskin.It’s desirable to build a raised bed since that will assure good soil drainage. Work your own compost into the soil or procure it at the nursery by the bag. Use a spading fork for breaking up and aerating the soil. After amending, your soil should be soft and crumbly to a depth of at least six inches.
2. Prevent insect pests from infesting your vegetable garden by integrating species that attract predaceous, beneficial insects. Three families of plants are recommended in this endeavor: daisies ; umbellifers ; mints and sages, which belong to the same family and are represented by numerous garden worthy insect attracting species . Adding a shallow bowl of water here and there will further encourage beneficials to take up residence in your garden.There are fertilizers expressly formulated for citrus trees. Follow the application rate, based on the size of your tree, given on the bag.
