Put The Spring Back Into The Garden!
Improve Your Lawn by Mulching
As we move towards the warmer months your lawn will jump back to life and that means it’s time to get that mower back out of the shed! It’s considered good practice to switch from mulch-mowing to traditional catcher mowing over the cooler months so right about now it’s time to be flipping that around and switching back to mulching.
Mulch-mowing is often poorly, or at least superficially, understood by many home-owners. Here’s the background on why you really need to be getting into mulch-mowing and how you can maximise its benefits for your lawn and soil.
Trim, Prune, Repeat!
OK, you survived another Winter; no more frosty mornings for another year. Now’s the time for you and your garden to become reacquainted, so get the relationship off to a great start this Spring with a good pruning. If hedges have finished flowering it’s time to give them a haircut with a Victa hedge trimmer, to help keep things dense, bushy and bring on lots of nice new growth. Hedges throw out multiple new shoots below the pruning cut, so a trimmed hedge is a thick hedge!
Get Your Lawn Ready For a backyard outing!
Spring is just weeks away and warmer weather means more time outdoors, rediscovering the joys of spending time on the lawn. Before you even think of stepping out on to the lawn, clear the fallen leaves and branches - best to do this when conditions are dry as moisture will make leaves and debris stick to the lawn. Another reason to clear them away is dead patches of grass can result. A Victa leaf blower will make light work of this, so that you can enjoy spending time in the backyard.
