Top Threats That can Damage your Garden

Table of Contents

1.  Climate change

Climate change is always beyond human control. We don’t get to choose when we want the rain to fall, or the sun to shine.

These climatic factors like light, water and rainfall, temperature, air, relative humidity, and wind therefore can cause a very serious hazard in your garden.

Water, for instance, is needed for crop survival, but too much water or flooding damages the crop by suffocating the root. Light on the other hand is critical for photosynthesis, therefore locating your garden in a dark enclosed area will affect this important growth stage.

As much as wind is important for pollination, strong winds affect the crop. It reduces pollination because pollen tends to be blown far from the crops and it also leads to the lodging of crops.

However, some climatic factors can be controlled. When there is drought, you can irrigate your plants, when there is too much sunlight, you can erect a shade or a greenhouse.

One of the benefits of having a greenhouse is you can shield your crops from pests as well as providing them with an optimum growth environment. You also don’t have to worry about the size or space, there are mini-greenhouses available in the market.

2.  Pests

Pest attack can be the most annoying and stubborn treat to control in your garden.  Pests usually attack at different stages of plant development and thus very hard to predict.

Among many other effects of pests on crops, they pose a grave danger to your crops especially when they are disease vectors, meaning you’ll have to control both the pest attack and the disease.

 

When choosing the best pesticide, you should keep the following in mind. Learn about the pest, often this will call for expert advice. You should also note the extensive damage by the pest.

Once you get to know the type of pest affecting your plant, then look for the right pesticide to control that specific pest. Selecting pesticides should be done with extra care because one wrong move might damage the whole crops.

Reading consumer feedback of the same pesticide from other gardeners will give you a grounding on what you should pay close attention to when using it. You must also read the pesticide label carefully. It will guide you on the application and the safety measures you need to take before and after handling it.

3.  Harsh chemicals

Third, on my list of top threats that can damage your garden is the use of harsh chemicals. This might be after excess application or use of the wrong pesticides, treatment, or fertilizer.

Apart from damaging the crop, it may also harm beneficial insects like honeybees and other pollinators. You should therefore exercise great care and read the instructions well before use.

Frequently check on the crops to notice changes after the use of any chemical. With earlier detection, you will make an earlier treatment and this will reduce the adverse effect of the harsh chemicals.

4.  Diseases

There is an endless list of garden plant diseases with some of them being very serious such that when the affected crop is consumed, it becomes toxic and dangerous for human health.

 

With many diseases that can attack your garden, you must contact an expert gardener to help you identify exactly what type of disease is damaging your crops.

If you take matters into your own hands, chances are you might end up misdiagnosing and therefore using the wrong control which will eventually cause you to lose your garden.

To help you in this, you should seek professional assistance from Home service companies (gardeners). With an expert by your side, you’re more likely to get a good evaluative report and the right control recommendation.

5.  Poor garden equipment and structure.

Designing how you want your garden to look and the location can have an impact on the general production of your crops.

You need to watch the topography of the land, check to see whether the crop you intend to plant requires a low or minimal amount of sunlight, and if shading is required. If it does, then erect the right structure.

If you disregard this, you might end up getting low produce or your crop might not grow in the first place.

Contacting companies specialized in garden structures and equipment will give you better recommendations on what suits your garden landscape.

One such company you may consider to look at is Fifthroom, they offer a range of garden structures you may choose from.
