few number of people have sufficient time to beautify their space as much as
they want. The challenge now remains how to keep your garden beautiful by doing
proper garden maintenance without neglecting any of your daily tasks.
Maybe
you have been thinking “how do I stay out of getting fully involved in
tendering my garden while still ensuring that it is well watered, and does not
get rough. Here are 8 garden maintenance practices that would bring that hidden
wish of your heart to reality.
Keep your Garden Damp
Never allow
your garden grow dry, moist is good for your garden so, always ensure that your
garden flowers are kept damp at all times, you can just engage in watering
between one and twice in a week.
Water in the morning and
at night
The
best time to water your plants is when the earth (soil) is cold, this occurs
majorly at the early hours of the day (morning) and at night after dusk. The
reason is because evaporation from the soil occurs better during these periods
compared to the hot period of the day.
Don’t water plan heads
During
watering always avoid putting water on the heads or tops of the plant and
flowers because watering the plants or flowers at the top is responsible for
the appearance of mildew on the plants or flowers. So pay attention while
watering to prevent damaging your garden.
Water regulation
You
definitely don’t want your garden to get water logged. A good method to avoid
this is by making use of an irrigation system which always keep the
soilmoisture content in check, to avoid dryness and excess moisture in the
soil.
Eradicate weeds completely
Peradventure
you injured a weed while working on your garden, make sure you get rid of the
weed completely. Use blades of get root of the root to avoid regrowth and
improper competitions for nutrients.
Practice
dense planting
By
“dense planting” we mean ensure that your plants are planted densely. The
benefit of this is that there will be an appreciable reduction in areas where
weeds can grow.
Temperature
regulation
Hot
weather is not good for your lawn. 260C is perfect to boost growth,
but when the temperature is getting beyond 300C, growth will be
impeded. Don’t cut your grass too short, about 5 inches from the ground is okay
so that soil won’t be able to drain the soil of moisture.
Automated watering
Between
4 and 8 hours is the best time to water the grass. Considering your schedule
you may not be able to this, but you can easily make use of an automated system
to carry out your watering during the hours. Garden Maintenance
Cape Town has been made easy!
All
tips described above are good garden maintenance activities that would keep
your garden in a perfect shape without interrupting your daily schedules.
