The more prep work you put into your garden, the more it will flourish. Most seasoned gardeners will start prepping in the coming weeks. Those efforts will start paying off in April and May when the flowers start coming up. Here’s a good checklist to help with getting your garden ready for spring:
Get Your Bulbs and Seeds
Some plants might benefit by starting them in small pots or even an egg carton and then transferring them to your garden. To that end, you’ll want to get all your bulbs and seeds purchased and ready for planting. This will help give you the “big picture” of what your garden is going to look like.
Clear Up Flower Beds and Borders
It’s clean up time in the garden. There has probably been a lot of winter debris that made its way into your yard. Not only weeds but also leaves, twigs and branches. Those should all be picked or raked up. You should edge the boarders of your garden and get that chore out of the way. If the soil is workable, then start turning it and mixing in your first layer of fertilizer.
Hunt Down Garden Pests
While you’re doing the cleanup, you might come across some garden pests that are waiting for “dinner.” They can’t stick around. Make sure all the snails, bugs and other harmful insects are taken care of with methods that won’t harm your garden. There are plenty of natural pesticides you can put to use.
Clean Pots and Tools
The cleanup effort continues with your garden pots and tools. They should all be hosed down and ready for the season. Your tools might have gotten rusty in the garage over the winter. If you can scrub the rust, then go for it. Otherwise, those tools might need to be replaced.
It’s not just weeds that have to be removed but also all those things that are taking up space or have become an eyesore. This is where Junk King Nashville is going to make a big difference.
