Simple Organic Gardening Tips You Must Know

1. The Purpose of cleaning is to remove all unwanted insects eggs; larvae; and real plant pests; before the leaves appeared; so that you can save more fruit buds.

2. Do your job on a freeze free and sunny day.

3. Do your task with respect and appreciation and to harmonies with the nature; while you are focusing on the cleaning of the trees (You will understand what I mean when the season advanced).

4. Insects have the rights to travel everywhere freely to fulfill their hunger and thirst, because they are staying in the nature; and so; the bacterial will spread very fast in your garden; if you do not take care (picture 9 below).


5. Most insects would avoid noise and vibration. When you move close to them; they would try their best to run away.


6. Insects or the spiders; and baby snails love to lean on the underside of the cool leaves (below picture 10); or hide away from the sun during the day.

• If you have a numbers of trees to work on; you can divide your task in a few days. So that; when you are cleaning the rest of the plants; you can also re-paint the earlier ones; when you have time.
  
  
• If you see caterpillar or spider hanging on the tree; you have to face the sun by standing at the back of the tree; so that; you can see the webs and the silky strings clearly (center picture 8).
  
  
• Turning your brush around it to remove the webs is easy. However, the spider may try its best to escape; so, it might jump on your body. I suggest to collect the mite first before you remove the webs.
  
  
  You can hold your container very near to it; and let it land on the water surface naturally. Thereafter; you have to shake the water; to stop the pests for climbing out.
  
  
  
• Clean your brush by stirring it in the water; before you move to the next branch; or when you need to add fresh water to the bottle.
  
  
• You can use different brush for different plant; or clean it thoroughly and change the water before you start on another new.
  
  
• If you are interested to study the garden pests that you have collected; you can put them away in a different container for further explore.
  
  
• When all is done, clean all the brushes and container thoroughly with fresh rain water; and hang up to dry; until the next use.
