Add value to your Home with these Easy Summer Gardening Tips :
- So mulch to do – Mulch cover your soil, protecting it from the sun’s rays and keeping it cool. Spreading mulch helps reduce moisture evaporation so your plants are nourished all summer long.
- Weed it and reap – The earlier you get rid of weeds, the better! Not only do they steal moisture and nutrients from your plants, weeds encourage pests and diseases to move in. Common weeds include Crabgrass, Dandelions and Poison Oak ( Western US)/ Poison Ivy (Eastern US).
- In Full Bloom – Add color easily with summer bulbs like calla lilies, canna lilies, and dahlias. Research summer loving annuals in your area and your garden will soon be bursting with color.
- No garden? No problem! – If a lack of space (or green thumb) is a restriction, here are some great low-maintenance indoor options. Place them in bright, indirect light and only water when the soil is dry to the touch.
