Consider Yourself an Avid Gardener?
Anyone who is fortunate enough to own a garden, but unable to tend it for some reason, will know what will happen. The likes of weeds will spring up, insects invade, and plants start to encroach on each other’s territory. Yard maintenance is vital if you want to keep your garden looking good. Follow these simple but effective tips, and your garden will be in shape in no time.
One of the most important tips when maintaining your garden is to make sure you water it properly. So unless you have a desert garden, then few gardens manage to survive just through rainfall alone, which means you as the gardener must provide the water. You can achieve this using sprinkler systems, garden hoses, or old fashioned watering cans. The choice of the equipment used depends on where the garden is, and what kind of plants it has. For example, a container garden will need a different approach than when dealing with a large vegetable garden.
Dealing with weeds is another part of yard maintenance which is universal, however, can be achieved by using different approaches. For example, you can regularly visit your yard and pull the weeds out manually or mulch can help prevent the growth of weeds and retain moisture also. A variety of materials are used for mulch, such as wood chips, rocks, or plastic, to name but a few.
Which brings us to the subject of soil treatment. Testing your soil will help to identify any factors which mean that certain areas should not be used to plant food. For example, a high lead level due to careless house paint scraping, or a hint at nutrients that needs to be added to the soil. Fertilizer and compost, in addition to other additives, can help make the soil better for planting.
