Garden and orchard activities in early spring. – Blog

Spring is already here and we are taking the strength to prepare our garden for a new station. Spring works in the garden and the garden must be planned step by step in order to work in the most efficient way possible. Find out what are the most common activities to carry out once the heat will arrive.

Spring cleaning

It is not surprising that we are talking about spring cleaning. As soon as the temperature is hot enough to work in the garden for a few hours, the owner starts cleaning. What does this mean? We begin to collect the dry branches and leaves that have fallen to the ground in recent months. These waste are not only antisnetic, but they can also provide a good shelter.

Maintenance of trees, fruit and rosy. This is now done to increase the process of growth and fruiting in the following months. The glass of the tree must be the cleanest possible. The abundant vegetation will consume many nutrients and water, so the fruits do not develop enough. In the case of old trees and bushes, pruning are also made to help their regeneration. At the same time, for people affected by low temperatures, frozen branches are eliminated and distinct from their darker color.

In the case of roses, during the first two months of spring, when the gems are already swollen. Pruning is made to Rosales a little older, once the second or third year is overcome. For the smallest, the cut will damage the flower, therefore if necessary, only withdraw the branches that have been dried.

Prepare the floor to plant.

If you have applied a layer of mulch to protect the ground during the winter, it will be removed as soon as the temperatures are starting to rise. So the weeds will be eliminated and the ground will be at the level. Before sowing flowers of flowers, the earth must be loosened with a shovel, when it is not very humid, otherwise it will harden after drying.

The floor on which we will plant flowers, vegetables or trees may not be nourishing enough, so you have to enrich it with the fertilizer. The nutrients contained in fertilizers will help flowers grow and develop wonderfully. Most of the fertilizers contain the following essential components:

• • potassium – guarantees robust growth and protects the plant of the disease

• • encounter – contributes to the growth of flowers and the development of roots

• • nitrogen – increases the growth of leaves and stems, being an indispensable element for most plants

A fertilizer with a balanced formula will contain the three nutrients to integrate the lack of the soil. Other necessary substances contained in commercial fertilizers are calcium, magnesium, copper, iron and zinc. On the product label you will find details on its composition, on how to use it and on the type of plants to which it is expected.

If you prefer to use natural organic fertilizers, you can use materials such as: lethame, ortiga juice, egg shells, ground coffee combined with earth, sprout (straw obtained, plants, leaves), compost, ashes. Before applying fertilizers, it is necessary to check the humidity of the soil. Take a handful of earth in hand and, if it falls easily, the earth is sufficiently wet.

March is suitable for planting seeds. Now that the temperature is quite high and we have enough light and humidity in the air, all these conditions are fundamental.

Tool control and useful.

Before starting your activities in spring, you have to check which tools you still have. When you do an inventory in the seminary on tool and tools, you will realize if you miss something or if you have to invest in new tools. During the winter, the old tools can be damaged or oxidized, so it is a good idea to review each element separately.

If you need new aid for gardening, the agricultural bee is at your disposal with a wide range of gardening tools and equipment. Check even if you have everything you need. Accessory necessary, such as sprinklers, scrapers or grass separators.

If he kept furniture in his garden during the winter, he also checks. It may be necessary to repair or paint them due to the cold and humid climate of the last few months.

Spray Trees

The first month of spring is the ideal time for smoking trees. Application of the sulfocalcio solution will be protected from heating. Then a copper solution will be applied, which will protect diseases from diseases such as radishes or jewelry.

Care césped

Now it's time to clean the grass, removing the remains with the rake so that the grass can receive enough air and light and grow. In the places where the grass was empty, new seeds are planted. However, spring is not the right time to apply the fertilizer to the grass. The nitrogen contained in these products will favor the abundant growth of the grass only on the surface. To really feed the soil, it is better to wait until May, when temperatures increase.

Screw graft

In a few weeks we can start working on the insertion of the screws. First, the screw must be ignored, then cut it and sew the trunks.
