If you haven’t already, it is time to prepare your trees, shrubs, and plants for the winter. You want to be sure that you help your plants transition for the winter so that they remain healthy for the spring season.
Before the winter arrives there are a few tips I recommend for maintaining a healthy lawn for the spring. There is still some mowing, watering, cleaning, weeding, and fertilizing that needs your attention.
Mulch versus Gravel As you are braving the heat and getting into “design mode”, it is time to decide whether or not to put down mulch or rock in your garden beds. You’ll need to consider the pros and cons of each option.
With spring right around the bend, you may have begun planning which perennials and annuals to plant in your garden beds. Before you make your final plant purchases, I recommend you add mulch to the list. Begin this spring season providing your lawn with the nutrients it needs by mulching. Using a mulching lawn mower allows you to leave tiny grass clippings on your lawn that decreases thatch, adds nitrogen, and makes great compost. |
