With Spring into the Garden: Simple Tips for a Lush Garden

In spring, you need to invest a little work to get your garden in shape for the summer. Here are 6 things to start with. Clean up the garden by removing dead leaves, weeds, and other debris. Sharpen, oil, and clean all tools you use. This makes every job easier. Feed the soil with fertilizer or organic material like compost or manure. Old plants and hedges need to be pruned for healthy new growth. Add a few inches of mulch to flower beds to retain soil moisture and prevent weed growth. Start a compost pile and layer green (grass, weeds) and brown (leaves, straw) layers alternately.
