Make sure to clear away all leaves, soil and plant debris from your patios and flower beds; this creates a healthier environment for new growth, especially as we get into the summer months.
Starting a compost heap this spring is a pro-active, cost-effective way to harness nutritious soil for your plants and recycle organic waste that will benefit the overall health of your greenery and foliage.
You can also use your old milk cartons to create DIY watering cans, compost bins, and bird feeders.
Whether your plants are facing frost or spring cold snaps, they will stay healthy and thriving at no extra cost.
