Garden expert Horst Mager: The best tips for flowering dream gardens!

The garden season is in full swing, and garden lovers are looking for the best tips for your green oases. Horst Mager, a recognized landscape gardener, biologist and author, offers valuable advice for the garden and balcony. Lean, which has become known through the RBB program "Garden Time" and its Instagram channel "Horst his allotment garden", has over 75,000 followers and knows what is important in their own green empire. With the right tools and plants, hobby gardeners can also achieve amazing results.

An important tool that recommends lean is the suction tooth, which not only removes the herb, but also loosens the soil. It also attaches importance to a good planting shovel with a large trowel so as not to damage the roots of the plants when repotting. When choosing the tools, the quality, in particular stainless materials, is crucial. Lean recommends British brands such as Kent & Stowe, Burgon & Ball and Krumpholz as particularly reliable.

tips for tomato lovers

A central topic for many gardeners are tomatoes that are one of the most popular plants in the garden. However, they can be susceptible to different diseases. The most common include the dreaded brown rot as well as other problems such as flower rot and herb and brown rot . These diseases are often expressed by specific symptoms on the plants: brown rot is shown by gray-black spots on the leaves, while blossom rotation occurs especially when stressing drought and brownish-black lazy spots are formed around the flower. These can occur particularly in hot weather without sufficient irrigation, since a lack of calcium is the cause.

To keep the tomatoes healthy, Lean recommends using outdated varieties, such as the English salad tomato tigerella , which are robust against diseases. Smaller tomatoes such as cocktail and currant tomatoes also ripen faster. The avoidance of over or undersupply with fertilizers and the guarantee of a uniform water supply are crucial for the health of the plants.

other garden tips

For the rearing of other plants, such as cucumbers, it recommends choosing lean, warm, warm and sunny locations. Ice -cold water is harmful to cucumbers, which is why the water should always have room temperature. Organic fertilizers or special nettle flows are ideal for supplying the necessary nutrients. Refined cucumber plants, such as the lucky cucumber , offer additional robustness.

Wild roses, on the other hand, are another healthy choice for the garden. They are more robust than highly finished breeds. In particular, pike, dog and rambler roses , which in November can be obtained as rooted plants and are cheaper.

It is clear that the correct selection of plants is decisive depending on the location conditions. Shady areas are ideal for funkies and stork snaps, while sunny places prefer daisy and similar plants. When it comes to care, the early removal of wild herbs should not be forgotten in the late winter, as this saves a lot of work in summer.

When it comes to pests, such as lice , patience is required. Lean emphasized that the ladybug population is encouraged by existing lice. These are natural predators and can be removed manually on balcony plants.

The combination of the right tools, the choice of healthy plants and the use of preventive measures against diseases will help every hobby gardener to create a flowering paradise.
