Soil quality
If you plan to plant in summer, remember to enrich the soil with compost and soil improver.
On the other hand, if you have already planted, it is important to protect the soil from the sun with a net. . This will keep it cool and prevent humidity from evaporating.
Riego
It is important to water first thing in the morning. If you are afraid of forgetting or you can’t take care of it at that time, we recommend you to buy an automatic watering controller. This way, your garden will always be cared for and you won’t have to do anything.
Thanks to morning watering, the soil will make much better use of the water, since the plants will have time to absorb it and evaporation will be much lower.
Pests
Summer is the perfect time for some pests, so we must pay special attention at this time of the year.
It is essential to act as soon as possible and not let the pest spread.
Lawn
If you have natural grass in your garden, mow it during off-peak hours.
As a trick, we recommend that you leave the grass a little higher than normal and that you do not remove the excess when mowing. Pay attention to the result!
Caring for flowers
Summer invites us to plant petunias, carnations, verbenas or dahlias. Remember to arrange them in order of height, the tallest ones at the back.
It is very important to remove the dried flowers, this way, they will be able to continue germinating.
