The garden tasks that need to be done in May are somewhat extensive.
But all this is worth it, since it is the month where the flowers are in full bloom.
So for it to prosper in the best way, it is advisable to follow these recommendations:
CARING FOR OUTDOOR PLANTS
- Remove weeds and apply a herbicide to persistent ones.
- Eliminate wilted flowers and trim weak stems to achieve compact developments and avoid twisting.
- Control the presence of snails and slugs.
- Fertilize shrub and hedge plants.
- Be careful with leafminers, as they usually attack softwood specimens. Likewise, treat any damage caused and disinfect the floor.
LAWN WORK
As far as caring for your garden in May goes, it is important not to forget the lawn work.
If you give it the necessary care, it can look spectacular and its growth can be kept under control. Therefore, remember:
- Remove thick weeds from the lawn and reseed them.
- Check for diseased parts. Areas that have moss can be combated with iron sulphate. If there is grass everywhere, the ideal is to rake it, which is the best method to remove old and withered grass.
- It is a great month for seeds to germinate since it is not very warm yet. However, before sowing, the land should be divided into sections to have a more balanced sowing. Spread the seeds broadly. Doing it at the right angle will cover the entire surface.
- Mow the lawn regularly and trim all edges.
- Fertilise monthly.
