Work on lawn and plants now

Now is the time to spike your lawn. The long-awaited rains are here! All the dry brown grass is slowly disappearing, and it is necessary to take care of your lawn.

To do this, you need a garden fork. Plunge it in about 5 inches deep and rotate so that the water can penetrate the lawn.

With heavy rainfall, water will accumulate on and around your lawn. Please make sure that you have proper drainage so that excess water can run off easily or you may have to cut a drain to let

the excess water run off.

Check your potted plants for drainage, as well. Open and clear all drainage holes. You may also need to lift your potted plants off the ground and place them on blocks or stands. 

Please note that nutrients will leach out from your lawn and plants. You would need to boost them up. Miracle Gro All Purpose Plant Food is recommended for this.

Until next week, Happy Gardening!
