| − | It can be very hard to shovel clay soil, especially when it sticks to your shovel as you are working. To make the clay soft so you aren't working as hard, take floor or car wax and rub a light coat on the surface of the shovel using a clean cloth, then buff the surface. This will both make the clay fall off of the surface, and prevent the surface from rusting.

| − | Make sure you protect your knees well while you are gardening. It's not a good idea to spend much time standing while you are bent over at the waist. You should kneel while tending to your plants for the sake of reducing stress to your spine. Get knee pads or a small mat you can use to kneel on if the ground is too hard.

| − | Protect yourself from sun overexposure while gardening by wearing the proper clothing. Try wearing a large sunhat and sunglasses to protect your face and eyes, and use sunscreen on any exposed skin. If you properly protect yourself from the sun, you will not get a sun burn and you will decrease your risk of getting skin cancer.

| − | It is possible to use natural materials as well as other plants to help keep pests away from your garden. Plant marigolds or onions around other vegetables to keep slugs away from them. Wood ash can be used as mulch, and if put on the base of shrub and tree seedlings, will keep insects away. By utilizing these methods, you will not have to apply chemical pesticides on your vegetation.

| − | Having healthy soil in your garden is your number one defense against pests! Healthy and well-nourished plants will be hardier and therefore better able to prevent pests from taking hold. To give your garden the best chance of yielding the healthiest plants, start with a high-quality soil that has fewer chemicals which over time will accumulate salts.

| − | To keep your plants from getting shocked, you need to gradually introduce them to changes in temperature and conditions. Put them outdoors in the sun for no more than two hours the first day. Over one week, gradually build up the amount of hours you leave the plants outside. By the end of the week, your plants should be ready to make the big move with no problem!

| − | For visual interest, make one plant a focal point of your garden. Your focal point will be the main center of attention for anyone who sees your garden. The best focal points are those plants that really stand out from those that are adjacent.

| − | For proper optimum growth, plants require sufficient amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2). More CO2 generally produces more luxurious plant growth. The best way to get a high level is to plant them in a greenhouse. Here the CO2 can be increased, as it cannot be outdoors, and can give your plants the best conditions for rapid growth.
