Spring gardening tips
Spring has sprung, and there's no better time to get your garden in tip-top shape. With the warmer months approaching, getting your hands a little dirty now will allow you to reap the benefits of a thriving yard year round. We've compiled a few tips and tricks to help get you started:
-
We know there hasn't been a lot of it lately, so next time it starts to rain, fertilise your lawn to take full advantage of the soaking.
-
Raise your mower height to keep lawn weeds at bay and to shield the ground from the sun - in these warmer conditions, it will stop your grass drying out.
-
Likewise, mulch your gardens to retain moisture and protect against the summer heat.
-
Consider a proactive treatment against lawn grubs to stop the breeding cycle - prevention is much more manageable than battling lawn grubs all summer.
-
Do the hard jobs now! You'll be thankful when the Queensland summer hits full stride and conditions are a little too hot and sticky to get out in the garden.
