The warmer months are on their way!
It’s time to dust off your tools, give them a good clean and start preparing for the busy season ahead.
By now, you may have noticed that early spring bulbs are starting to flower and in a few weeks, your plants will be picking up even more of a growth spurt.
March can be one of the busiest months in the garden, so stay organised and write a to-do list to keep on top of your gardening tasks.
As well as being great exercise, digging helps to give your soil a new lease of life after the big freeze. It is also a good idea to get on top of weeds sooner rather than later, especially while they are still young. Hoe any weed seedlings before they start to take hold of your garden – otherwise you will have your work cut out! Our Ultralight Dutch Hoe is a great tool for this, as its light weight helps you get the job done with minimal effort.
Give your lawn some attention this month to ensure you have a dense, green lawn come the summer. A good rake with our Carbon Steel Lawn Rake alongside regular feeding will help it on its way and now is the time to reintroduce regular mowing. This is also a good time to neaten up the edges of your lawn using our Stainless Steel Edging Knife and Single Handed Grass Shears as well as levelling out any humps.
You can also prepare for the summer by sowing bedding plants, herbs, tomatoes and vegetables in March. Some seeds can be sown directly into open ground but many will really benefit from starting in the greenhouse.
