How to garden organically


When's the best time to fertilize and transplant a Lillac bush?

I live in Vancouver BC, spring starts early here, and I'd like to know when i should add organic fertilizer to the garden bed, as well as other plants.

I also have a very big Lillac bush i want to move, but i don't want to shock it either by moving it when it's not the right time.

Thirdly ;-) I have a pear tree, in its 3rd year, last year it was swarmed by aphids…just way too many, and this year i want to spray it, but not with toxic chemicals. I heard you can spray some wax ? Any ideas?

Any gardening tips would be helpful, i'm only good at digging so far ;-) Many thanks.

After it flowers move it. Fall/Winter

Fertilize it

Fruit Tree organic dormant oil
dish washing detergent vegetable oil 1/8 cop each to one gallon water. Mix well spray on branches and trunk

    All bushes should not be moved until after it's flowering season.

About Author

I've been an avid gardener most of my life and I've always had an interest in organic gardening. My parents always had gardens when I was a child and while I can't say that no chemicals were used, most products and methods used to maintain the garden were natural. Now that I have a garden of my own (past 7 years) I've gone strictly organic. This blog is my attempt to share Organic Gardening Tips with you.
