Tips to prepare your garden for summer

It is time to stop postponing the moment to get down to work and give it the attention it deserves, and needs, just before the arrival of summer: you have to prepare the garden. In fact, during the hottest season of the year it is advisable to take certain measures so that plants and flowers grow as healthy as possible. As well as so that they can show off during those weeks in which they will ask for more attention. A few days that also coincide with the greater amount of time usually spent outside enjoying the garden. Whether simply to rest or relax, or to take advantage and spend time with family or friends doing meals and activities outside.

Be that as it may, outdoor plants will require some preparations to be able to face the summer, when their water and nutrient needs will increase due to high temperatures and the proliferation of pests. For all these reasons, it is advisable to spend some time applying a series of recommendations regarding the preparation of the garden that can represent a turning point in its good condition.

If you want to prepare your garden for summer, the first thing you have to take into account is the most basic thing: its substrate. During these days, the most common thing is to think about adding new plants to the garden, as well as giving those that are already there a touch-up. In both cases, it will be key to take into account the type of soil in which they will grow. This is because each species requires specific conditions. For example, some plants are more sensitive to waterlogging and require much more effective drainage. Although there are also those that thrive in substrates with certain components and particular nutrients. All of this will have to be taken into account.

The issue of preparing the land is also linked to the need to remove all the weeds and remains of dry leaves that are lying around. So add fertilizer so that it recovers nutrients and improves its structure. This without forgetting that it is also necessary to have a good team of tools, especially ensuring that they are in good condition. That is, no rusty or damaged shovels or pruning shears.

It will also be the ideal time to make transplants and to sow the seeds and bulbs you want. To do this, it is advisable to make a simple garden organization plan, in order to ensure that each plant is with other similar plants. And, of course, you will have to plan the maintenance that the garden will require, especially with regard to the amount and frequency of watering that each plant needs.
