Here’s How To Get Your Garden Ready For Spring

Warm weather can often trick plants into sprouting early. That is a more of a problem in states where it gets very cold. Here in St. Petersburg, the spring plants know when they should make their first appearance. They’ll be helped along by all the prep work you do in the garden. Here’s how to get your garden ready for spring:

Pull Weed

It doesn’t matter if the weeds are leftover from winter or new “sprouts,” they all have to go. The goal with weeds is to pull them out by the root. That way they won’t grow back. If you’re not confident with your pulling abilities, it might be time to dig in and go deep.

Prune

Timing is crucial when it comes to pruning and spring is a good time especially for those shrubs and flowers that bloom in June. As long as you’ve got the pruning shears out, you might want to give your trees a cut. Anything taller than a six-foot ladder you should leave to the pros.

Fertilize the Beds

Before you plant any need seedlings you want to get your soil ready. That means fertilizer. This can be brought in from your favorite nursery. If you have a compost pile, then you’ve got all the fertilizer you need. It might be a good idea to pre-test the soil for ph levels and then test again after the fertilizer has been there for a few days. Hopefully, you’ll see a big difference.

Stake Out Your Garden

A new garden requires the same kind of planning as furnishing a room. You want to spend time imaging how things will look before you put them in place. With a garden, you can use your seed packets to get a sense of how your new flowers should be grouped together. When planting veggies, it might help to get the stakes in early for tomato plants. Much easier to plant around stakes already in the ground than trampling on plants to put up stakes.

Clear Out Debris

It is not just your garden that needs to have debris cleared but your entire backyard. We’re not just talking about raking leaves (do that!) but getting rid of all the rubbish. Your backyard is for relaxing not storing construction materials or auto parts. And if you have furniture you know you’re not going to use, then turn it all over to Junk King St. Petersburg. These junk hauling experts can quickly swoop in and provide you with amazing help to get rid of all that eyesore rubbish. The first step for getting your garden ready for spring is a junk clearing session with Junk King St. Petersburg.

Getting Your Toddler Ready For A Big Bed

Somewhere between potty training and staring kindergarten is a good time to make the switch from crib to a toddler bed. Even though your little one might be in preschool, they could still be sleeping in a crib. Nothing wrong with that. But by the time they are ready for kindergarten they will definitely be too big for the crib. You also want to wait until after the potty training because you don’t want to give them too much to process. Here are some other things you can do to get your toddler ready for a big bed:

Set New Rules

As with any milestone, there are new rules. When a baby learns to stand, they also have to learn not to pull things off of tables. A toddler bed allows for “in and out” privileges that weren’t around during the crib years. Just because they have that freedom doesn’t mean they can explore. You should let your child know that they can only leave the bed by asking permission.

There might also be an issue of crawling into bed with you. That is fine during the occasional thunderstorm but you don’t want to get into the habit. Even if they come to sleep in your bed, you should carry them back to their own bed. That is where they should wake up.

Increase Safety

Of course, just because you tell a child a rule, doesn’t mean they’re going to follow it. They’re going to get out of that bed at night if for no other reason than to test their boundaries. A bedroom on the second floor would benefit from a security gate at the top of the stairs. Elsewhere throughout the house, you want to make sure kitchen, bathroom and medicine cabinets are secure and out of reach.

It will help to place the new bed in the same position as the crib. Keep it away from windows and blind cords. To make room, you might need to tap the services of Junk King St. Petersburg. These are professional junk haulers who can make quick work of clearing out your toddler’s bedroom of all the stuff they’ve outgrown. Those items can then be donated to a charity so nothing goes to waste. The best approach to getting your toddler’s room ready for the big bed is hiring Junk King St. Petersburg.

Making The Most Out Of Home Junk Removal

Every week the city garbage collectors will make their appointed rounds picking up your trash, recyclables and yard waste. It is a very efficient system provided you follow the rules. Those rules include proper placement of the trashcan itself and making sure there is no overflowing trash. Anything that is outside of the trashcan is considered a bulk item. That puts pickup into a whole other category. You might be able to schedule a single item bulk pickup from the city garbage collectors but what if you’re cleaning out a garage or organizing your closet? You’ll be tossing out a lot more than one item. That’s when you need to hire Junk King St. Petersburg to make the most out of your junk removal.

St. Petersburg Recycling Facts

We all know that recycling involves separating our paper, plastic and soda cans. That’s easy. It is even easier when the city provides recycling bins for curbside pickup. Beyond that home recycling program, what other benefits are there from recycling? Consider these facts:

recycle-sign-1226369-m

Recycling 1 ton of paper saves 17 mature trees, 7,000 gallons of water, 3 cubic yards of landfill space, and 2 barrels of oil. Every ton of paper recycled can save the energy equivalent of 165 gallons of gasoline. Those 17 trees can absorb a total of 250 pounds of carbon dioxide from the air each year. Burning that same ton of paper would create 15,000 pounds of carbon dioxide. The process of recycling paper instead of making it from new materials generates 74% less air pollution and uses 50% less water. Manufacturing recycled paper uses only 60% of the energy needed to make paper from new materials. The construction costs of a paper mill designed to use recycled paper is 50% to 80% less than the cost of a mill using new pulp.

What about all those cans? Recycling steel and tin cans saves 74% of the energy used to make them from virgin materials. A used aluminum can is recycled and back in use as a new can in as little as 60 days. Used aluminum cans are the most recycled item in the U.S. Other types of aluminum, such as siding, gutters, car components, storm window frames and lawn furniture can also be recycled. There is no limit to the amount of times aluminum can be recycled. A steel mill using recycled scrap reduces water pollution, air pollution, and mining waste by about 70%. Recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to run a TV for three hours or saves the equivalent of half a gallon of gasoline.

Then there is all the plastic that gets recycled. What happens with that material? 86% of plastic bottles in the U.S. end up in a landfill or incinerator. That averages to around 60 million plastic bottles ending up in landfills and incinerators every day.

All of that recycling generates a positive impact but you don’t have to stop with paper, plastic and metal. Junk King St. Petersburg can help you recycle all kinds of bigger objects like furniture, clothing and appliances. If they can drop those things off at a charity, then it still counts as recycling. If you want to expand your home recycling program, then count on Junk King St. Petersburg to get it done.
