Spring Gardening – Think about lawn care supplies and equipment. Get your mower prepped and ready and begin planning or buying ahead for any fertilizer, sod or other supplies.
AFTER WINTER ASSESSMENT
For your Spring Gardening & Landscaping. Be sure to check your plants for signs of rodent damage. Look for bark chewed off branches and tree trunks. Evergreens such as pines, yews, and fir may have been dried out or burned by the winter wind and sun. As a result, their foliage is orange-ish brown right now instead of green.
- RAKE IT OUT
Raking out your lawn isn’t just for the fall. If the ground is well dried after the snow, raking in the spring can help remove old grass matted by snow mold and any accumulated trash. Raking also stands the grass upright to allow air and light to reach the soil. This allows the grass to warm, breathe, and begin to grow.
