Looking After Your Garden Beds: Gardening Maintenance Tips And Checklists
Having a garden plot is enjoyable and fun, but challenging at the same time. It evolves with or without us. We need to keep checking the garden to ensure it is healthy and ensure that the plants are getting what they need. Our mind is always on topics about soil improvements, and how is the climate or weather affecting the garden. Keeping an eye if the plants are healthy and what pests and diseases affect them. And what garden tools worked best, and are any gardening techniques requiring change on our part.
Our weekend gardening projects can sometimes get away from us. We started writing about gardening maintenance tips and ideas and what to do in the garden by month to help us, too; it seems we always needed a reference, a note, a reminder of what to do in our garden plot. Having these gardening maintenance checklists of what needs to be done, when, and how, provides a guideline with task priorities, especially when we only have a weekend. These checklists offer guidance for required gardening jobs, what action to take in kitchen gardens, weed control, and plant health and lawn care maintenance.
