Spring gardens look beautiful with their colorful flowers and soothing fragrance. You need to start cleaning up the lawn after the harsh winter season when the grass is not very wet, and also the mud or soil does not glue to your hand. It should fall apart when you pick them in your hand and leave them loose.

Here are some more spring garden tips:

Sharpen the blades of your existing tools during the late winter in order to start using it immediately when the spring starts.

Use the rake to remove weeds, dead leaves, twigs and debris that accumulate during winter. You also need to prune trees and the shrubs that grow in your garden in order to remove dead, diseased and damaged branches.

Plan up your spring garden in advance in terms of what varieties you are going to plant and how you are going to make best use of the space. You may have to order some new gardening tools and also some plants accordingly once the spring starts.

Choose varieties that grow fast and can be maintained easily. Your garden would start looking lush green very soon, and even start flowering rapidly if you take enough care to prepare healthy soil before planting.

Prepare soil beds containing compost or manure. Plant the chosen shrubs, perennials and bare root trees on a cool and cloudy day. Transplant the plants grown in the container to the soil and water them thoroughly.
The varieties of plants that would work for spring growth are perennials such as daylilies and hostas, vegetables such as spinach, lettuce and parsley, and flowers like poppies, calendula and sweet peas. Use fertilizers to protect the plants from pests when the new growth starts.

Create a compost pile by collecting the plant debris and dead leaves. Chop these wastes to speed up the decomposition process. Brown color wastes like dried leaves and straw are carbon rich, whereas green color wastes like grass clippings and weeds are nitrogen rich. Mix equal amounts of this debris with water and a compost bio activator. Keep turning them regularly and continue to add to this pile in order to prepare homemade compost for the next spring season, so that you can save on buying them from outside.

Fix the damaged or bare patches of the lawns. Use the rake to scratch up the soil. Mix soil with grass seed and spread them in the patch where you want to fix the lawn. Water regularly until the new grass emerges.

To maintain a spring garden successfully, you should remove the weeds in the garden regularly so that they do not affect the growth of other plants, as they would start consuming all the nutrients of the soil. They also spoil the neat look of your flower beds, bushes and trees. Aerate the garden soil to allow the plant roots to breathe in fresh air.

Cut overgrown trees, shrubs and clean the debris and garbage regularly. Water the plants early in the morning before 9 AM or after 6 PM and maintain a clutter free orderly garden in order to get best results for all your hard work.
