Whether you are dealing with raised garden beds in Staffordshire or decking in Shropshire there are many ways you will want to reinvigorate your garden this summer. 

With many more weekends broadcast to be metaphorical scorchers, let’s look at some of the things you should be doing in your garden this coming summer. 

Manage Your Watering System

We start with one of, if not the most, important techniques to enact this summer. Managing the watering of the plants in your garden is of paramount importance. Overwatering can cause your plants to die and likewise, not watering your plants can have the same effect. 

In addition to this, much of the country will be seeing hose pipe ban due to the upcoming heatwave which makes managing your watering system all the more important. 

Add Mulch 

This summer, you should add mulch in your garden and more specifically to your flower beds and other soil filled areas. Adding mulch in your garden has many benefits. Mulch suppresses weeds and helps your soil to remain moist. This is particularly beneficial when temperatures start to reach the more soaring highs. 

Attract The Right Kind of Guests

Attracting certain bugs and insects can be very beneficial as far as your garden’s health is concerned. Certain insects and other bugs can eat other more harmful kinds of insects. As such, you will want to attract these kinds of bugs. You can do so by ensuring they have access to fresh clean water, food and by ensuring the soil is organic. 

Deter Unwanted Pests

On the other hand, when it comes to attracting certain insects, you might want to deter some unwanted guests such as rats and even unwanted bacteria, which can have a real knock on effect on your garden. These unwanted guests can ruin your grass and eat your plants amongst many other potentially problematic occurrences. To mitigate their effects, you might want to lay down pest controlling measures in advance.

Start Planting More

Are there many better ways to reinvigorate your garden than by planting more flowers and/or other plants? Having more plants in your garden is a sure-fire way to make your garden appear more lively and generally more attractive to onlookers.
