March is here and is a month filled with new life and (keeping our fingers crossed) warmer weather! With things starting to ever so slightly warm up, there are a few tasks that need completing to make sure that your garden is in top condition. Read through our guide to find out what we recommend should be taken care of this month.
General Tasks For March
- Start keeping an eye out for weeds that will be appearing and apply weed control products that are suitable for use at this time of the year
- March is the best time time to start prep work in your garden before sowing anything or even going ahead with your first cut of the year - keep an eye out for moss and other debris that may be present
Lawns / Turfed Area Maintenance
- On dry days you can start to mow the lawn
- If the ground is wet, keep off of the lawn to avoid soil compaction
- Look at applying a suitable fertiliser for the time of year
- Continue with moss treatments if moss is present
Trees, Shrubs and Hedges
- Planting of bare-root trees and shrubs (including fruit trees, fruit bushes and hedging materials) can be done this month
