Gardening Pitfalls

Gardening=20 by the Yard : Episode GBY-627 -- More=20 Projects =BB=20

Even=20 the most experienced gardeners make mistakes now = and=20 then, and master gardener Paul James is no = exception.=20 The Gardening Guy discusses ways to avoid some = of the=20 more common pitfalls:

Allow at least = a few feet=20 between a wall and your plants for good = air=20 circulation. Make sure to take the = mature size=20 of the plant into consideration.=20 =

Pitfall: Planting too = close to a=20 wall means that there's just a little air = circulation=20 between the plant and the wall, and fungal = diseases can=20 run rampant.
Solution: Keep plants at = least a=20 few feet away from walls.=20

Pitfall: Planting in straight lines = (or curved=20 lines, for that matter) isn't a mistake per se, = but very=20 often one plant--or whatever reason--doesn't = perform the=20 same as others. One plant may grow at a slower = or faster=20 rate than others in the line and in some cases = die=20 outright, which ruins the entire planting = scheme.=20 Finding a replacement plant of the same size as = the=20 others can be difficult if not impossible.=20
Solution: If you plan on planting = five plants=20 in a line, then buy six or seven plants at the = same=20 time, and stick the extras somewhere else in = your=20 landscape. Then, if something goes awry with one = of the=20 plants in the line, you can dig up one of the = reserve=20 plants to replace the one that died.=20

Pitfall: Planting on a slope can be a = problem=20 primarily because water tends to quickly run off = the=20 slope before it has a chance to seep into the = soil. That=20 can lead to erosion on steep slopes. It also = means that=20 whatever is planted on the slope may not get = enough=20 water.
Solution: Regardless of what = you're=20 planting, create a level planting area. For = example,=20 James planted a young dogwood, raising the low = side of=20 the slope with soil so that the tree is actually = growing=20 on a level surface. If you are forced to plant = on a=20 steep slope, then chances are you'll be better = off to=20 actually create terraces and stair-step the = planting=20 area. This requires a lot of digging and very = often=20 constructing retaining walls, which means a lot = of work.=20

Before you = choose your=20 plants and their permanent locations, = notice how=20 the sun and shade move through your = yard.=20 =

Pitfall: An odd but not = uncommon=20 situation is a garden bed that's divided in two = parts:=20 one in full shade and the other in full sun. = Planting in=20 a spot like this can be tricky--particularly if = the sun=20 or shade scenario changes throughout the=20 day.
Solution: Monitor the situation = by noting=20 the hourly changes that take place during the = day. Pay=20 close attention to which areas receive mostly = sun or=20 shade. Only then can you begin to make your = plant=20 selections. Remember that while most sun-loving = plants=20 can grow with as little as three or four hours = of sun,=20 most shade-loving plants can't handle more than = an hour=20 or two of sun, and only morning sun.=20

Pitfall: Planting on easements, which = are=20 areas of your property owned by the city, can = create=20 problems. Easements are areas of your property = that=20 extend out from both sides of the property line = a few=20 feet and very often run the entire property = line. To=20 find out where the easements are on your = property, check=20 your plat, title or abstract. Easements are = there=20 because there's some sort of gas, water or power = line=20 below the ground. Although it might be legal to = plant on=20 an easement, if the city should need access to = the=20 easement to repair lines, it has no = responsibility for=20 your plants.
Solution: Don't plant = anything=20 on an easement (unless you don't mind losing the = plants), and don't place a shed or other garden=20 building, especially one that's built on a = cement slab.=20 Such a structure is not legal in most cities, = and you=20 might have to move the building and slab if you = ever=20 decide to sell your house. It's best not to = plant trees=20 below power lines, because the power company = contractors=20 have the authority to trim them back.=20

Pitfall: String trimmers are a threat = to trees=20 and shrubs (especially young ones), and also to = turf=20 (especially if the grass is cut too short). = Accidental=20 hits by the string leads to unsightly dieback = around=20 trees, borders and other areas that are = routinely=20 trimmed.
Solution: Try to trim the = grass=20 roughly the same height as you cut the lawn to = create a=20 cleaner look and avoid nicking tree trunks.=20

Pitfall: Kids can litter the lawn with = all=20 sorts of things by the end of a summer day. If = left on=20 the grass for more than a day--especially in hot = weather--these items can damage the lawn, = sometimes=20 permanently.
Solution: Try to remove = toys and=20 other items from the lawn as quickly as = possible.=20
