Keep Your Lawn And Garden Healthy

June 28, 2018 by Carter Leave a Comment

If you’d love to be able to create and maintain a healthy, vibrant garden, or are looking for some spring lawn care tips continue reading to discover a few handy ideas, which will help you obtain the lush healthy garden and lawn of your dreams.

How to keep your lawn and garden healthy:

Make sure that you choose the right type of soil to grow flowers or vegetables

As an example, if you want to create a vegetable garden which produces plenty of fresh produce, you may want to use a soil mix which offers the right nutrients to encourage your vegetable seedlings to grow. In much the same way, if you want to grow a variety of beautiful flowers, make sure to use a soil which suits the flowers which you plan on growing.

Invest in having a sprinkler system fitted in your garden

If you find it hard to motivate yourself to water your garden or lawns on a regular basis, it’s definitely well worth investing in a sprinkler based irrigation system, which has an automatic timer. That way during the warm summer months, you’ll be able to water your lawn and garden at the same time each day. Which will prevent your lawn or plants from becoming dehydrated and drying out.

Make sure to use fertilizer to keep your lawn and plants healthy

If you want your garden to boast healthy green grass and plants, make sure to fertilize your lawn and plants on a regular basis.

Make sure to choose a species of grass which will thrive in your conditions

There are a wide variety of grass types available, each of which will suit different soil conditions and climates. As an example, there are species of grass which suit warm climates and species of grass which thrive in cooler conditions.

Aerate your lawn in fall or spring each year

In order to ensure that your lawn remains healthy from year to year, it’s important to take the time to aerate your lawn. If you’re unsure of how to go about aerating your lawn, you’ll be able to find detailed instructional videos on Youtube, which will guide you through the entire process of aerating your lawn.

Only use herbicide to kill weeds if they don’t disappear on their own

If your grass is healthy, it should automatically kill any weeds which appear within a short time period. If however, your grass starts to become overrun with weeds, you may want to consider using a trusted herbicide to kill your weeds. Just be sure not to place any herbicide near your flowers or vegetables as herbicide will kill any plants which it touches.

So it pays to be careful when using herbicide to rid your lawn of unsightly, unruly weeds. Also, make sure to clean any gardening equipment which you use to spread herbicide around your lawn.

So if you’d love to be able to spend lots of time enjoying a beautiful garden, it’s well worth using all of the information listed above in order to create and maintain the gorgeous, healthy garden of your dreams!
