How to Prepare Your Garden For Spring in 5 Easy Steps

#Clean up

Of course, as with most things in life, we will start with the cleaning up. Once the snow melts, clear the ground and collect leaves, branches and small debris that do not belong. If there is plant debris, it is time to get rid of it, as well. It is not just about the aesthetics – for months, pests multiply and wait for the season to start attacking all the plants. So, a clean and tidy garden is what you need to strive for at all times.

#Prepare the soil

If the first weeds have already sprouted on the ground, it is time to get rid of them. Again, this is not done just because it is unsightly. By weeding the rested soil, you preserve its potential for future plantings. So, prep your soil for all that new growth that you expect in the spring!

#Plant the new seedlings

Planting the new seedlings is actually a matter of preparation. Just take pots filled with a mixture of soil and sand and plant the bulbs and seeds in a warm place. You can do that at home on a windowsill, on the balcony or in the greenhouse. And when the weather gives green light, put the plant seedlings in place, and water generously. It is really not as hard or time-consuming as it sounds!

#Cut off the dead branches

The next step for preparing your garden for spring is to carefully inspect the shoots of shrubs and fruit trees. Cut off the dead branches as well as last year’s shoots. To avoid damaging the plants, use a sharp knife and disinfect the cutting areas with a special detergent. Choose a cloudy, dry day to work – so that the bright sun does not burn the tender branches and the humidity does not provoke rot.

#Take measures against pests

Late March is a great time to disinfect the garden because pests and microorganisms come out of hibernation in the spring, just waiting for the favorable weather. So, stock up on sprayers, lime brushes, watering cans and, of course, all of the necessary solutions. Also, take a look at our guide for organic pest control, it might come in handy. Choose a dry, cloudy, windless day for disinfecting. Preferably, do that on an early morning, as this is the best time for the procedure so that your efforts are as concentrated as possible and literally do not dissolve into thin air.
