The Gardening Mistakes You Need To Avoid
2
  • There are many gardening mistakes that people
    commonly make. It is important to avoid such
    mistakes. Problems arise when you plant a new
    flower bed, manage the lawn or plant a vegetable
    patch. Spending your time and giving your best
    could be easy and possible, but it is all the
    more important to gain proper knowledge about the
    techniques, so you can make sure that the garden
    grows. This is the only way out for ensuring the
    prosperity of the garden in the longer run.
  • Some of the common gardening mistakes are being
    discussed in this article so that you can avoid
    them when managing your garden.

  • Never use fertilizers towards the end of summer
  • Avoiding the use of fertilizers on the shrubs,
    trees and plants is important when summer is
    about to end. This becomes even more important in
    areas that are susceptible to early sudden
    freezes. These areas witness sudden freezes as
    early as September. If you fertilize the plants
    late in the season, then these plants will
    undergo new growth. This growth could be
    susceptible to damages due to frost.
  • This would then be impacting the health of the
    plants. Another issue is that the majority of the
    plants would be preparing for winter dormancy
    period. They usually require rest after a long
    growing season.

  • Never scalp the lawn
  • Whenever you are cutting the grass, remember to
    never scalp the lawn. This would leave it weak
    and stressed. This will make it vulnerable to
    weed growth and diseases. This is because the
    sunlight would be reaching the exposed soil. You
    should try keeping the surface of the lawn at
    least 3 inches in length

5
  • Avoid use of herbicides
  • Avoiding the use of pre-emergent herbicide on the
    garden is essential in case you are planning on
    laying fresh grass seeds. Weed killing solutions
    need to be avoided for at least three weeks after
    the new seeds have been planted. The new seeds
    need to be given the time to start developing. If
    your lawn has many weeds, even then try avoiding
    the herbicides for a short period of time.

6
  • Avoid the use of stakes
  • Do not use stakes for trees. Stakes should never
    be seen as a means of planting new trees. The
    problem is that in majority of the cases, using
    stakes would leave the growing tree weaker. A
    tree can be made to be more resilient and
    stronger if it is allowed to bend and move in the
    wind without staking it. These are some of the
    common mistakes that people usually make. This
    results in severe damage to the lawn. Hence, it
    becomes important to avoid these mistakes so that
    your lawn can grow and prosper.
