Firstly, upgrading your garden won’t happen if you aren’t willing to experiment with landscaping and do yard work. However, we want to offer you our best advice on what it takes to have a long-lasting, beautiful garden.
Spring is the key moment when you should dedicate your time to yard work. Don’t worry, hard work pays off. The summer should be the time when you reap the fruits of your labor, host garden parties, and relax, surrounded by a beautiful landscape.
If your grass is not green enough, you struggle with bare patches of ground or there are few spring sprouts. Spring raking is the solution. You will remove dead or damaged grass, making space for new ones.
Don’t allow your garden to look like a cluttered cupboard. You may not look into your cupboard or show it to your guests, but the same can’t be said about the garden. Find time to clean debris, dead branches, unnecessary garden tools, leaves, rocks, or twigs. And then, look at your plants. Do you have annual flowers? They go to the garbage too.
People think it varies from region to region. There’s only partial truth in that. Types of fertilizers vary and how often you should apply them varies. The need to fertilize stays the same for all gardens across the world. A good fertilizer will always improve the quality of your soil. Consequently, your grass will be greener, your plants lusher, and your vegetables bigger.
Tip: Before choosing a fertilizer, conduct a PH test of your soil.
