Registration Research Notes


You don’t become an advanced gardener by taking a course, you do it one bit of information, one new technique, over time.

What’s on this site is a developing series of advanced gardening tips, hints and practices that I find, write about and store for my own use. I’m sharing these with other gardeners on these pages. It’s the latest research, the latest tip from something I’m doing in my own garden you’ll want to know about, the latest in plant developments you want to know to make yourself a better gardener.

Because that’s what this is about – having a better garden.

You can take a course, listen to a lecture etc but the most consistent way I’ve improved my own garden is to stay current on what’s happening in the gardening world around me. To keep learning new skills and techniques to grow plants that little bit better than my friends and colleagues.

This site contains up-to-date garden research and advanced gardening tips that pass over my desk from a wide variety of sources. I read, summarize and file this material in my own files as it comes to me (sometimes once a week – sometimes more but I average writing two new gardening tips every week) and now you can share those summaries as well.

Understand one simple point. It’s not the magic bullets that create great gardens – not the single sprays or pruning or plants – but the accumulated appliction of one technique here, one technique there. It’s why my gardens work and how yours can as well.

My gardens, plants and techniques are always in a state of learning and improving. Frankly, I think “hardening of the attitudes” is as dangerous in the gardening world as anywhere else and my objective is to avoid this – to keep becoming a better gardener every year.

Subscribers can also ask questions and get answers about each of the posts – I answer these and help you understand the details. Also, you’re going to find other readers post their comments and summaries of the information and this helps us all learn a bit more.

Here are a few of the latest posts:

  • Watering properly in the heat and why your plants look dead but aren’t
  • A new dandelion killer that’s organic
  • Another new dandelion organic solution
  • The new basil problem and what to do about it
  • Hydrogen peroxide in the garden – not accepted but some growers are using it.
  • the use of compost teas as fungicides and which kind of compost works the best. (latest research).
  • bacteria mutation in the face of chemicals and what that might mean for our garden disease control. (latest research).
  • plant trials and the download reports from them (latest is Echinacea in mid-Atlantic).
  • compost removing heavy metal concentrations in the soil away from plants
  • using home dishwashing detergent as a powdery mildew spray on fruit but with all the cautions about the problems as well. Also info on the concentrations to experiment with.
  • bee colony collapse and how you might help prevent it
  • why soluble fertilizers wreck your soil and what to do instead.
