For many people summer weather means cottage season, weekends away, and even vacations. It also means time away from your lawn and garden. Leaving for even a few days without a plan in place can lead to scorched grass, wilted flowers and a downtrodden vegetable garden upon return. Thankfully, there are measures you can put in place to ensure you come back to a lush and healthy landscape.
Do a Pest Check
Garden pests can do major damage in a short time, so look for signs that slugs, aphids, or other insects are chewing on your plants. Apply insecticide to kill or repel them (natural and organic formulations are available). Rodents are another common pest, especially if you’re growing tasty, ground-level vegetables. Consider installing a wire fence to help protect your garden while you’re away.
Going out of town can present challenges to maintaining a healthy garden, but there’s no reason it should derail your harvest or impact the look of your landscaping. Proper planning, the right tools, and a little assistance can help keep your lawn and garden thriving while you’re away.
