Keeping your garden in shape all year round requires diligent maintenance. From time to time, this will mean that there will be a fair amount of garden waste to dispose of. Ensure you’re doing so responsibly by following these tips to help you minimise waste during your seasonal garden clearance.
Spring Garden Maintenance
Spring is the time where you need to prepare for growing. To minimise waste, you can repurpose some things like fallen leaves and plant debris. If you’ve cleared out space for new growth and find yourself with lots of organic waste, see if you can put it to good use by starting a compost pile. Not only will you reduce the amount of waste you’re producing throughout the year, you’ll also benefit from enriched soil.
Summer Gardening
Summer is all about cultivating your garden. Plants and produce should be growing nicely during the summer, but it’s important to ensure your garden is getting enough moisture. You can use your grass clipping as mulch to help keep your plants hydrated rather than dispose of it. If you’re pruning plants and removing deadheads, these can be added to your compost pile.
Autumnal Harvesting
Autumn is usually the time of year when your produce is harvested. After this, your garden might be looking a little bare and barren, particularly as the leaves begin to fall. If you have a lot of trees and shrubs, you may find that there are too many fallen leaves to place in compost. Bag these up for your garden clearance if there’s too many for you to handle.
While you’re dealing with your garden waste, now is a great time to sort through your old garden tools. Any which are old and useless should be added to the pile of garden waste.
Winter Garden Clearance
Winter is all about conserving your garden and preparing for the next growing season. As well as that, you may also accumulate more waste from the festive season such as an old Christmas tree! While you’re not really using them, go through the gardening equipment you have in your shed. Sharpen and oil any metal tools which need attention. This should help preserve them and reduce the need to replace them and create unnecessary waste.
If you’ve still got some waste leaves hanging around as well as your old tools and Christmas tree, now is a great time to book a garden clearance service.
