January Gardening Tips
We have a few top tips from our Landscapers to help you take care of your Garden this January..
- Repair lawn edges around flower & shrub borders using an edging iron (half moon), slicing down the edge of the grass will slow down the encroachment of grass roots from spreading into the border
- Dig over your vegetable plot, the coming frosts will help break down any large lumps of soil & help aerate it
- Mulching borders will help suppress spring weeds & also protect any new growth from the frosts
- Clear away those last few leaves
- Bare rooted roses & shrubs can still be planted
- Keep bird feeders topped up, the winter berries will soon come to an end
- Clean out & sterilise greenhouses including shelves & tools
- if you have a pond- an old ball placed in the water will stop the pond from freezing over completely
- Have mowers serviced ready for the first cut
