Four tips for having a healthy garden

  1. Choose the right lawn• The first choice that we must take into account is the choice of our lawn. This will depend, among other factors, if the shade gives much or not. In areas with the sun, the most recommended variety is Bermuda because of its high degree of resistance. On the other hand, the Dichondra variety adapts well to humid climates and the granulate to semi-shade.
  2. Water frequently• But without going over! It is normal to have doubts when watering our garden, since many times we do not know if we are doing it often enough or not.• The first thing we must take into account are the characteristics of the terrain and the climate. Of course, it will also depend on the type of grass and plants we have chosen. The idea is to keep the ground moist, so it is advisable to water about 2 times a week for 15 minutes. • Remember that you should water at night avoiding the early evaporation of water and the sudden change in temperature that can affect the plants.
  3. Fertilize when necessary• Fertilize strengthens the grass, helping to make the grass thicker. Normally it begins to fertilize once the winter is over, and it is important to avoid using strong doses.
  4. Cut the grass properly• One of the most common mistakes is to mow the lawn too often. Keeping it too short will weaken it and make it more prone to contracting diseases.
  5. Two tips to take care of flowers

There are many flowers that will bring a special color to our garden. From the beautiful roses to the fragrant jasmine, to the daisies, the gladioli, and the tulips.

5. Learn to plant• First of all, it is necessary to know the ideal type of land for each class. Once we know the type of soil, we must mix it with organic fertilizer: compost, green manure, algae extract or mulch. When the earth is ready, you can proceed to dig a small hole where you can introduce the seeds without imprisoning them too much.• Make sure there are no external factors such as weeds that can impede their development, keep the soil moist and wait for it to start growing!6. Learn to prune• A poorly done pruning can cause the death of a plant, hence the importance of doing it correctly if we want to improve flowering and the development of our garden.• In the case of deciduous flowers, they must be cut a couple of centimeters above the buds (which will be the future shoots). On the other hand, evergreen flowers should be cut as their leaves wilt.• Remember that withered flowers should be removed, not only for aesthetic reasons but also because when pruning them we will be stimulating the birth of new flowers.Two tips for the care of fruit trees

7. Choose the perfect point where to plant your fruit tree• Find a place with space and good access to sunlight. Avoid other trees are very close because we do not want to end up absorbing their nutrients. Choose the type of land and ideal fertilizer, if you do not know, ask in your friend's nursery.

8. Take care of it during its growth• A fruit tree in the growth stage is going through a process in which it is very delicate, so there is a possibility that you need external support to get straight.• Nut it properly with fertilizer, organic materials, and suitable fertilizers. Water it gradually and not excessive because you can drown it, make sure the area is humid and, above all, keep insects away.Two tips for pest control

9. Start by preventing insects• The best advice for maintaining a healthy garden is to prevent pests that may appear. If you do not know the type of solutions you have at your disposal, our recommendation will be to contact a company specialized in pest control. It is not advisable to test insecticides without knowing the correct way to use them, given that these types of products can damage your garden irreversibly.

10. In the presence of pests, act quickly• You must act quickly against all types of insects like termites, flies, mosquitoes, and aphids appear frequently. For example, in humid climates and with a lot of heat the appearance of cockroaches is very common and they are bugs that feed on everything they find, being able to destroy your garden in a matter of weeks, so the elimination of cockroaches is the best solution. The same applies to any other insect pest, if you have not been able to prevent its appearance, you must act without hesitation to achieve its control and elimination.
