1. Mulch Your Flower Borders
Mulch is a thick, loose layer of material placed on top of bare soil in flower beds or containers. This layer helps to suppress weeds, increase water retention, and improve the quality of the soil. Some popular mulching materials include garden compost, wood chips, manure, and leaf mold. Add your chosen mulch to a depth of about 2-3 inches, and always leave a gap between the mulched area and the woody stems of plants. You should know how to repot a plant to landscape your garden.
