After a long stressful day in the office, all you want to do is to sit in your garden to enjoy the fresh air and the chilly breeze. However, if there are only dried plants with a lot of weeds the environment does not really make you want to spend so much time in your yard.  Having your own beautiful garden requires a lot of work and patience for a colorful variety of flowers and green grass. Check these tips for gardening to make all the work easier.

1.      Know the soil

Before you start investing time and money in your garden you need to know what type of soil you are dealing with. It can be sandy, silty, clay, peaty and saline soil. Some kind of plants might grow perfectly there, but some might dry right from the beginning so before you decide what you want to grow in your garden make sure the soil is favorable for what you wish.

2.      A wide variety of plants

If you want your garden to be very colorful then you should opt for a wide variety of flowers to grow. You can try to place them by colors or mix them, whatever your vision of a beautiful yard is.

3.      Water plants daily

Some plants can survive in dry soil easily, but some require a lot of water and the rain is not enough to keep your garden always green. So, make sure you do not forget to water your plants daily, but only after the burning sun is almost down, otherwise, instead of helping them to grow you are going to damage them.

4.      Lawn tools maintenance

In order to do an amazing job with your garden, you need to have the right tools as well. Shovels, leaf rakes, watering hoses, gardening gloves, and lawnmower are just a few of the things you need to plant and clean your garden. However, it can be expensive to change them after just a few times you used them, so make sure you take good care of them and you do not leave them outside in the mud where rain and dust can damage them. If your lawnmower ever breaks down, don’t instantly buy a new one. You may just need a new spark plug, or even a quick service. Do not waste money on things that you can protect from the beginning.

 

5.      Plant placement

How you place the plants is going to determine the way they are going to grow. You surely know that some plants need more of the sunlight, and meanwhile, some get dry too fast if they are exposed to the sun rays for too long and grow better in the shadow. So, before you decide where to place all the plants better check how the sun covers the surface of your garden.

6.      Clean the fallen leaves

When autumn starts to appear, fallen leaves start to cover your garden and make it look like is an abandoned place. In order to clean them and let your amazing yard breath again, water the leaves to stick together and then you can collect them very fast.
