# 5 Hack Your Way Through A Dry Spell

Homemade Water-Retentive Soil Mix Hack

Planting succulents and drought specific plants in containers is a great way to present a stylish garden with minimal water requirements. Photo taken by Shawna at P. Allen Smith’s Moss Mountain Farm garden.

  • 1 part organic potting soil with worm castings
  • 1 part organic rotted composted manure
  • 1 part plain compost

Succulent Garden

The secret to retaining water

Drought is devastating to a garden, and it seems to be more prevalent with every passing year. With watering restrictions and expensive fines for heavy water use, it truly makes sense to hack the drought so your plants can withstand low-water/highheat conditions.

Water-retentive soil is the number-one tool for keeping moisture close to plant root systems. One key to water retentive gardening is to practice a no-till approach (see Hack 1: 'Retire Your Tiller'). It also helps to amend beds regularly with rich compost material that absorbs and holds water. Whether for containers or garden beds, create drought-resistant soil with the recipe on the right.

# 23 Beyond Beer Several Solutions To Solving A Slug Problem

Slugs are bothersome and horrid garden pests found all around the world. Technically, a slug is a mollusk that lacks a shell and secretes a slimy covering of mucus for protection. While some slugs are predatory and eat other slugs, worms, or snails, most species prefer feeding on a wide variety of organic materials, particularly prized plants in your garden. Once your garden is infested with slugs, it can be hard to get rid of them because a slug lays between 20 to 100 eggs several times a year and is hermaphroditic, meaning it has both male and female reproductive organs. One individual slug can produce more than 90,000 grandchildren.

#50 Go Soak Your Bulbs

How To Soak Bulbs

Soaking bulbs in a manure tea mixture can help give the bulbs an extra energy boost before planting.

  • 1. Mix up a batch of full-strength manure tea (see Hack 18: 'Brew a Batch of Manure Tea').
  • 2. Soak the bulbs in the manure tea for the recommended length of time (see left).
  • 3. Plant as directed.
  • 4. Drench the planting area with the remaining manure tea.

Flowering Bulbs

A short bath before planting time encourages germination

Flowering bulbs are a true delight in the home and garden. You can help give your bulbs a nice start by soaking them in manure tea. But soaking your bulbs for too long can be disastrous as it can trigger fungal problems, so keep an eye on the bulbs during the soaking process to make sure there are no complications.

  • For flowering bulbs Soak bulbs—both spring- and fall-flowering bulbs—in the manure tea for 24 hours. Add organic fertilizer to the soil as recommended by the grower at planting time, then drench the soil with the remaining manure tea after planting in the ground.
  • For amaryllis and paperwhite bulbs These winter bulbs, particularly amaryllis, typically like it dry. Soak them for 30 minutes in the manure tea. Paperwhite bulbs can go longer, but not more than 24 hours. Water the plants with the manure tea once every two weeks.
  • For vegetable bulbs Planting bulbs and stem vegetables in the same location every season can deplete your garden soil. Crop rotation is key, but so is soil amendment throughout the seasons. Bulbs and stem crops such as garlic, onions, asparagus, cardoon, celeriac, fennel, kohlrabi, leeks, shallots, and chives can also benefit from a soaking with the manure tea 24 hours before planting.
