With spring just around the corner; now is the time to clear your flower beds of Winter rubbish and give your yard a facelift. Here are some tips on what to do.
Old man winter leaves much behind with leaves, sticks and other dead foliage. In fact, this has probably been one of the worst winters ever so you may have your work cut out for you as you prepare to clear your flower beds of debris. Here’s how to get started.
What you’ll need:
- Rake
- Clippers
- Shovel
- Garden Gloves
- Mulch
Now you are ready to begin:
- Take away any debris such as branches or leaves.
- Get rid of all the dead foliage from your perennials by cutting them back just near ground level.
- Rake the flower bed clean.
- Pile up the debris in a compost pile.
- Remove the mulch off the bed and replace it with a fresh layer of compost.
- Toss the compost with a shovel.
- Rake the compost as you spread it over the flower bed.
- Replace a fresh layer of mulch.
Winter has not been kind to us, in fact, every forecast you listen to describes this winter as the worst in America. Therefore, you may not be able to clear your flower beds just yet, but in case you do - may your garden spring cleaning be a successful one.
