8 Things to Do in the Garden While Waiting for Spring
The chill of winter has not completely dissipated, but we have already begun to look forward to the arrival of spring. Especially the garden at home, which seems a little quiet and desolate during the long winter, is now in urgent need of our careful care. Before spring really comes, there are many important things worth doing in advance. These preparations can not only make the garden full of vitality in spring, but also bring us a full sense of accomplishment and pleasure. Next, I will introduce to you in detail the eight things that must be done in the garden before spring comes.
1.Comprehensive cleaning: Thoroughly clean up the dead branches, leaves, and debris left in the garden during the winter. These wastes not only affect the beauty of the garden, but may also harbor germs and pests. Cleaning them up can create a good environment for the new growing season. You can use a rake to gather the fallen leaves into piles and then collect them properly in garbage bags.
2.Fine pruning:Carefully observe the growth trend of each plant and prune it carefully. Remove those crossed, sick and weak branches to make the plant more beautiful, while also improving ventilation and light conditions and promoting healthy growth of plants. For different plants, appropriate pruning tools and methods should be used. For example, scissors are suitable for pruning thinner branches, while saws are used to handle thicker branches.
3.Remove weeds:Carefully check every inch of the garden and remove the weeds one by one. Weeds will compete with flowers and plants for nutrients, water and sunlight, seriously affecting their growth. When removing weeds, try to pull out the roots completely to prevent them from growing again. For some weeds with deep roots, you can use tools such as a small shovel to assist.
4.Reasonable fertilization: Reasonable fertilization is crucial before the arrival of spring. It effectively stores soil fertility.After a long winter, the nutrients in the soil are lost due to plant growth and natural consumption. According to the fertility of the garden soil and the types of plants planted, choose the appropriate fertilizer for application. When fertilizing, pay attention to controlling the amount and method to avoid excessive concentration of fertilizers that burn the plant roots. You can evenly spread the fertilizer on the soil surface and then gently plow it into the soil to lay a solid foundation for the good development of plants in spring.
5.Tool preparation:If you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools. Prepare various gardening tools, such as shovels, hoes, scissors, watering cans, etc. Before using, check whether the tools are intact. If damaged, repair or replace them in time. At the same time, clean and maintain the tools, such as applying anti-rust oil to metal tools, to extend their service life.
6.Selection of flower pots:Order suitable flower pots according to the style of the garden and the needs of the plants. Gardens of different styles, such as European classical style, Chinese pastoral style or modern minimalist style, can create a harmonious and unified aesthetic by matching flower pots. For plants, the material, size and air permeability of the flower pots are directly related to their growth conditions.
Choose the GreenShip flower pots, which are not only diverse in style and good-looking, but also suitable for all styles of gardens.
