Transplant existing shrubs before they leaf out in the spring to prevent transplant shock.
-
Cut back and clean up any perennials left standing through the winter.
-
Pick a container that is big enough for your plants, even if it has space in it right after you plant
-
As soon as the burlap or winter covers are off plants, put down rabbit and deer repellent. As soon as the leaves break, wildlife will be there to eat them!
-
When planting trees, dig the hole as deep as the root ball and twice as wide. This gives the roots room to spread out in loose soil.
-
Start weeding as soon as they appear, the earlier it is the easier it will be to pull them
-
Develop the soggy section of your yard into a rain garden to contain and cleanse water instead of pooling it.
-
rain barrels are an efficient and environmentally friendly way to collect gardening water.
-
Put in water permeable hardscape materials to reduce water run-off, such as gravel, bricks and pavers.
-
