Albuquerque Springtime Garden Preparation – Part One

Great plants can translate into an amazingly beautiful Albuquerque garden, but they will not make it happen just by virtue of the quality and beauty of the plants themselves. A stunning Albuquerque garden mandates a completion of a significant amount of garden readiness tasks and standard pre-spring upkeep activities for it to happen. Prior to planting your Albuquerque garden in spring 2020 here’s a great to-do-list guide you can follow to get your garden ready for a stunningly beautiful season this year.

Organize Your Garden Shed

Review the tools you have on hand to make sure you’re not missing any you may need or that you like to use when you garden. If you have it in your budget, buy the one’s that are missing and add the one’s you have always wanted to have on hand. Get all your tool blades sharpened and add oil in hinges where needed. When sharpening your tools using a mill file and then apply oil to take away metal corrosion and reduce the chances from it happening in the future. It’s truly amazing how much better and simpler it is to chop branches, dig holes and cut plants with sharp, nicely oiled gardening tools. Additionally, the right tools that are new can also make working on your garden far easier and enjoyable

Take the time to fill out all the supplies you need for you garden. Be certain you are supplied with sufficient fertilizer and soil additives. Load up on the necessary gardening plant devices including plant supports and other available devices. Put structures together ahead of time like tomato cages and trellises while you have downtime when the weather is still cold and nasty outside. Doing this will free up your time to work in your garden completing the extensive amount of tasks required to make your garden thrive and look beautiful

Clean Build-Up Debris and Old Left-Over Weed

Spring cleaning is not just for your house. Go on the attack and clean out your entire garden area of old leaves, weeds and seeds and mulch down the garden soil itself. Move dead leaves and other organic material to your compost bin so it can break down for use later. Existing mulch should be left untouched so it can do its magic for your garden, but clean out unwanted weeds, leaves and unhelpful material.

For you Albuquerque garden to be successful, your primary focus must be on getting rid of weeds that might still be growing and thriving. Weeds must be completely eradicated from your Albuquerque garden soil. Bag them and throw them far away from your home. The biggest reason you do not want weeds it that they are plants that will dominate your garden plants. Weeds have got to go.

Doing Albuquerque springtime garden preparation takes work, but the work is well worth the results you’ll realize. There’s plenty work involved, but the end it will payoff in a big way.
