Video on Gardening Tips

by erica on November 4, 2007

This video, very simply titled “Gardening Tips, is an excellent source of gardening tips. The narrator, who has done several other gardening videos, is well spoken and to the point. He holds your attention for the entire span of the short video (under three minutes). He offers some good gardening tips. Some of these you have probably thought of and some may be new to you.

Here are some gardening tips:
· Check the origins of your species before you plant anything. This will tell you the conditions that a plant likes. You can then make sure that your plants are in the proper place in your garden.
· Don’t throw out your old mop head. According to the narrator, an old mop head can be used to make hundreds of plant ties. These recycled ties are strong and just the right length to be used in the garden. What a great idea!
· When used together, a flowerpot and acrylic paint is a great gift idea for kids. The recipient will think of them whenever they see the flowerpot. Some of you may have thought about this already, but it’s still a classic idea.
· Here’s an excellent tip. You should take as many cuttings as you can from the gardens of people you know. Ask first! And always have your cuttings kit on hand. A cuttings kit consists of a damp tissue, rubber band, knife, and a freezer bag.
· You should label everything in your garden. Use a permanent marker to write your labels. Don’t stop here, or your labels will soon fade. Keep going by adding a coat of clear nail polish over the ink. Your labels will not fade this way.

The audience targeted in this video seems to be the novice gardener. While there are some useful tips for everyone, there is not really any hard to find or advanced knowledge provided here. Still, this video is worth watching and is recommended.
