For many people, gardening is more of a chore than a hobby, waiting for that one sunny weekend to head out with the lawnmower and secateurs to neaten up the outdoor areas, but it doesn’t have to be that way.
By following the tips below, you can improve your gardening skills and utilize the space you have for the ultimate gardening success…
Careful Positioning
In order to achieve the perfect florals and grow the best veggies possible, you need to ensure your plants are in the correct position. Positioning is everything when it comes to gardening as you want to ensure your plants are receiving as much natural sunlight as possible.
Figure out which position is best for the type of plants you’re wanting to work with, as this will help to ensure your plants grow to their full potential. Similarly, some plants require more shade the sun exposure, so in this case, you can position your beds in an area that you know will sit in the shade more than the sun.
Space is Key
You don’t want your plants to be squashed in together as this can stunt their growth. In order for your plants to grow properly, they need to have plenty of space allowing them to flourish.
When it comes to adding the beds to your garden, make sure there is enough space for all of your bulbs to be planted with room between each other. Monitor what each season is like in your garden to get a real feel for where your beds should be placed, as this will help you to spread the beds out accordingly.
Prepping the Soil
First things first, you need to try and work out what type of soil your garden currently has. There are a few different types of soil, including clay, sand, chalk, loam or peat, so it’s important to know what you’re working with.
When purchasing soil for your beds, you want to ensure you’re getting the right stuff for your plants. You can find a selection of soil at Milford Building Supplies that you can then add to your flower beds before planting your bulbs. If you’re unsure on which soil to go for, do a little research online to find out a little more.
Tackling Weeds
From the moment you let weeds take control, your garden will start to look overgrown and messy. This can get out of control very quickly, so it’s important to keep on top of weeding and prevent unwanted visitors from growing in your garden.
You should try to tackle weeds as and when you notice them starting to grow, spraying the area carefully with weed killer to keep the weeds at bay.
Watering the Garden
Ensuring your garden has plenty of water is really important, as you want your plants to grow to their full potential.
Throughout the warmer months, plants can become dehydrated due to lack of rainwater, so you should try to give them a sprinkle of water 2-3 times a week. This will ensure they have plenty of water to grow and will prevent them from dying off due to the heat.
