Blue Diamond
Things to do this month - March
- Hoe all bare soil before the first weed seeds appear. Remove any larger weeds by hand.
- Mulch hungry plants with a suitable compost.
- Top up decorative wood chip and pebbles or stones.
- Repair any garden structures that were damaged over the winter.
- Make a bug hotel to attract beneficial insects to your garden. Collect small planks of wood, bricks, pots and tiles for the main structure. Fill the gaps between with natural materials gathered from around the garden, such as twigs, grass, shingle and fir
- Install an irrigation system. Plan and order everything you need to set up an automated means of watering your garden throughout the summer. This will make it easier for you to focus on other tasks and allow you to go away without needing to ask helpers to assist.
