6 top Spring gardening tasks

Springtime is here and what should you be doing to take advantage of the season?

Aerate your lawn

Pull small, regular plugs of soil to let more water, fertiliser and oxygen get deeply into the ground instead of simply running off.

Trim your trees and shrubs

Trimming in spring can stimulate healthy growth in most plants and shrubs, plus will help you contain the growth spurt from the Spring weather.

Deal with the pests

Get a handle on the pests now, before they take over your garden completely. Protect your plants with a coating of organic pest spray, and consider calling the pest controllers in like in this story here.

Get the weeds while they're small

It's not a bad idea to get some professional help here, because having a professional weeding can often set you up for an easier weed maintenance season through to Summer.

Prune the roses

Springtime is time to almost murder your roses. Treat your rose bushes like you hate them to get the best results.

Divide or transplant

If sections or your garden have gotten out of hand, Spring's a good time to transplant and give your garden more room to expand.
