Garden Cleaning

How to Keep Gardens Clean?

1: Weed out the weeds

Gardens tend to have weeds and it is unavoidable and sometimes they go to the seed. Adding chemicals to your garden to kill weeds might not be the best idea for the soil. Some ways to remove weeds are hand picking them or using a good garden hoe. Leaving chickens in the garden is also a great idea for scraping and weeding. Tilling is another great way to remove weeds from gardens.

2: Prune & throw out dry leaves

Pruning is a very important step in garden cleaning. Before you start clipping, you must prune dead branches. Winter is a great time to prune trees and shrubs since they are clearly visible during this time. Also, you should remove dry leaves periodically to keep your garden plants looking fresh.

3: Dust leaves & pots regularly

Pots and leaves hold a lot of dust and mud tends to stick to these. A great way to deal with this is to regularly clean them with a soft cloth, especially leaves. Leaves are very often tender even though they look robust. As for pots and planters, you can wash them down or scrub them down with a cloth.

4: Wipe down garden furniture

Garden furniture is notorious for collecting dust and grime over the months. Wash them down with a hose if they’re very dirty; continue to maintain them by giving them a wipe-down once a week with a wet cloth. If you have furniture that is broken or worn out, consider repairing or replacing them because they definitely detract from the look of the garden overall.

5: Rearrange plants to avoid overcrowding

Another great way to keep your home garden looking fresh is to move things around. Make sure you rearrange the pots every now and then and so that your garden looks new. Also, remove any broken pots and replace them with new ones. This will ensure that your garden does not look overcrowded.
