Garden Sort Out Tricks....

Ingrid from Brooklyn

By doing a few clever tasks now your garden will be sorted through summer.
 1. Do a quick weed.
 2. Plant evergreen shrubs to fill gaps.
 3. Put on mulch 10cm thick (reducing light to the soil). Option: lay down newspaper under the mulch (superettes often have old newspapers to give away).
