How to take care of your garden in the winter months
During the winter months, it can be easy to neglect your garden due to the cold and wet weather. Understandably, the last thing you want to be doing is pruning hedges in the rain. However, getting your garden in top shape for spring will ensure that you will have a vibrant and inspiring garden when the sun finally decides to come out again.
Top Tips:
General Clearance
Even during the warmer months, we can all agree that removing fallen branches and twigs isn’t the most exciting thing to do in the garden. But, this simple act of cleaning can ensure that there are no damp issues for underlying plants due to sprouting in spring.
Fence Repairs
Natural deterioration and rotting are common. By fixing or replacing the fences at this time of year, guarantees you will have a sturdy boundary to your property. Make sure to add a lick of wood preserver to enhance the life of your fences.
Weeding
This can be one of the most tedious jobs but the most rewarding when you step back and take a look at the difference it has made. During winter, we can be under the impression that everything is frozen in time and won’t grow until we see the sun again. Even though that might be what it looks like on the surface, the truth is, most plants are dormant and are still living and breathing, yet some plants grow whatever season, and in this case, they’re weeds.
