It’s officially Spring!
March 20th marks the official start of Spring in the UK, after what feels like a particularly long and wet winter! The weather is finally improving and life in the garden is coming back fast - starting with the first hyacinth, crocus and tulips coming up!
It must be time to get back in the garden and breathe life back into our outdoor spaces. With so many things on the to-do list, getting back in the garden ca be a little daunting, but with the help of our Hyundai garden experts (and a little help of some nifty power tools), getting a vibrant and flourishing garden in the months ahead has never been easier.
From essential maintenance tasks to exciting garden projects, the months of March and April offer a prime opportunity to prepare your garden for the upcoming Spring season.
5 Essential Garden Jobs for Spring.
1. Clearing Debris
March is the perfect time to clear away any debris that has accumulated over the winter months. Fallen branches, dead foliage, leaves and other clutter can hinder the growth of new plants and create an unsightly appearance. Utilise Hyundai's range of powerful leaf blowers and garden vacuums, like the HYBV3000E 3000W Leaf Blower and Vacuum that will efficiently clear your debris and create a clean slate for spring planting.
2. Pruning
Pruning is essential for promoting healthy growth and maintaining the shape of your trees, shrubs and bushes. There is still time to prune dormant plants before they begin their spring growth spurt. Hyundai Power Products offers a selection of reliable hedge trimmers and chainsaws, making it easy to tackle pruning tasks with precision and ease. Even for tall trees and hard to reach branches, a long reach pole saw is great way to prune and cut with minimum effort.
3. Soil Preparation
Healthy soil is the foundation of a thriving garden and taking some time in March to assess and improve its condition will reap rewards in your Spring and Summer garden. Use a Hyundai tiller or cultivator to aerate the soil, break up compacted areas, and incorporate organic matter such as compost or mulch. This will ensure optimal nutrient absorption and water retention, setting the stage for robust plant growth in the upcomign growing season.
4. Planting Time!
While the weather may still be cool in some parts of the UK, March presents an excellent opportunity to start planting certain cold-hardy vegetables and flowers. Consider sowing seeds or transplanting seedlings of early spring crops such as lettuce, spinach, peas and carrots. Whilst other planting can be started indoors by a window sill or in a greenhouse. As well as soil preparation, Hyundai's range of tillers and cultivators can also be used to help prepare planting beds quickly and efficiently, allowing you to get a head start on the growing season
5. Lawn Care
Give your lawn some much-needed attention in March to encourage lush, green growth throughout the spring and summer. As soon as temperatures go above 8-10 degrees the grass will rapidly start to grow.
