Six Jobs for Spring
Spring is officially here! The lighter nights and warmer days are on their way so it’s time to head outdoors and give your garden the TLC it needs so you can reap the rewards across the seasons!
Follow our six tips for the spring season below, let’s have a happy spring together!
1. CLEAN PATHS AND PATIOS
Remove moss and green algae from your paths and patios after the wet winter! We think Algon is perfect for the job as it doesn’t have any harmful chemicals.
2. NOURISH YOUR SOIL
A happy garden starts with healthy soil! Adding fresh compost to garden beds and borders is the easiest way to add much-needed nutrients back into soil after a long winter and prepare your space for the growing season ahead!
3. FEED YOUR PLANTS
For brilliant blooms and bumper crops, give plants the best start by adding a feed such as Fish, Blood & Bone at the base of newly planted bedding and annuals.
4. LOVE YOUR LAWN
April is here and it’s time to give your lawn some love. We recommend you scarify and aerate before applying a spring treatment, and consider overseeding your lawn to rejuvenate and thicken grass.
5. SUPPRESS THE WEEDS
It’s worth using a mulch such as decorative bark or landscape fabric to help suppress weeds, preventing them from taking hold once everything starts to grow. It’s also a great way to protect young plant roots from extreme weather conditions!
6. PRUNE BACK
Prune certain hardy evergreen plants, roses and shrubs such as hydrangeas and spirea. A great pair of secateurs can quickly cut through stems of dead wood!
