You can either build a walkway of stepping stones around your garden, or replace the moss by another groundcover. Japanese gardens often incorporate architectural design. The Japanese have used temple designs to honor their ancestors, and to add beauty to their landscapes.

How To

How to apply foliar fertilisers

Foliar fertilizers are applied directly on the leaves of plants via spraying. In addition to providing nutrients to the plant, they help increase photosynthesis, improve water retention, prevent disease, increase resistance against pests, promote growth and development, and provide protection from weather conditions. They can be used for treating any plant, fruits, vegetables or flowers.

Foliar fertilizers are safe for the soil and do not cause any soil contamination. The amount of fertilizer needed depends on the type of plant, its size, and how much foliage it has. Foliar fertilizers should only be used when the plant is active growing. This will allow them to absorb nutrients quicker. Follow these steps when fertilizing your garden.

  • You should know which type of fertilizer you require. Some products only have one nutrient while others contain multiple elements. If you aren't sure what product you need, ask your local gardening center.
  • Pay attention to the instructions. Before applying, please read the label. Spraying near windows or doors could cause damage. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
  • If you have a hose attachment, use it. To avoid overspray, turn off the nozzle after every few sprays.
  • Mixing different types of foliar fertilisers can cause problems. Mixing two different kinds can cause some harmful effects, such as burning or staining of leaves.
  • Spray at least five to six feet from the trunk. At least three feet should be spaced between the trunk of the tree and the edge where you plan on applying the fertilizer.
  • Wait until the sun is down before applying. Sunlight causes light sensitive chemicals in fertilizer, to breakdown.
  • Spread the fertilizer evenly across the leaves. Spread the fertilizer evenly over large areas.
  • Before watering, let the fertilizer dry completely.
