You can use a rake to prep your lawn by removing any leaves. This is important to take away all the debris that has accumulated over the winter. Bare patches in your lawn need to be seeded, and fertilize it when you are through. See if any equipment needs to be repaired. You should apply mulch around the base of the plants, and check to see if there are any bulbs and perennials that need to be taken care of. This makes your garden more beautiful. In the spring, you can fertilize growing plants with compost, aged manure or a fertilizer. This is the time where you should trim your trees and scrubs to get the any broken branches from them.Â
This is when you should clear out the weeds and last season's garden debris from the beds. You need to start a compost pile, so that you can remove last year's debris. After the first spring mowing this is when you should apply the lawn fertilizer. You need to start with a sharp blade on your lawn mower, a dull blade will rip the grass rather then cutting the grass. You need to consider the soil type, sun and shade patterns and direction of the wind. You can soak the plant to get it to grow before you put it in the ground. Keeping the soil moist during the first season is very beneficial. This is very important to use when you are planting a garden. Posted by Alfonso "Fonz" Salazar on
