Professional landscapers know that small habits make a huge difference in garden longevity. Here are some insider tips to extend your garden’s life and beauty:
- Inspect Regularly: Take a few minutes each week to inspect leaves, stems, and soil. Early detection prevents pest infestations and plant diseases.
- Sharpen Your Tools: Clean and sharpen pruning shears and mowers regularly. Sharp tools make cleaner cuts, reducing stress on plants.
- Mind the Drainage: Ensure your garden has proper drainage to avoid waterlogging. Raised beds or gravel layers can help.
- Fertilize Wisely: Too much fertilizer burns roots and harms beneficial organisms. Follow a schedule based on your plant types.
- Keep It Clean: Remove fallen leaves, debris, and dead plants. A clean garden discourages pests and promotes healthy regrowth.
