5 New Year’s Resolutions for Your Yard & Garden

Set a New Years Resolution for your yard & garden this year!

 1. Create Compost

Composting is one of the easiest ways to make a difference in your yard. Turn yard waste and food scraps into fertilizer! Using a compost bin is an easy process. Simply throw in organic kitchen scraps and yard clippings. In a short amount of time, that pile of organic waste will turn into rich moist soil. Compost has organic matter, beneficial bacterial and fungi. 

Save up to 50% on water costs with drip irrigation. Drip irrigation is an irrigation technology that has been available for over six decades. Drip irrigation, or micro-irrigation, is a low volume, low pressure, method of delivering water slowly and close to the roots of plants. It is the preferred method for irrigating crops in all countries around the world. 

Fertigation is the introduction of fertilizer and or bio nutrients into the sprinkler system. It is very precise and controllable. There are numerous published scientific papers supporting and praising the benefits of fertigation systems and the products delivered to turf and landscape. Fertigation works by delivering tiny precise amounts of fertilizer each time the sprinkler system operates. There is little or no waste as each drop of fertilizer is absorbed by the plant either through its leaves or through its roots.  Rain Rich Fertigation systems are safe and reliable. Your lawn, trees, and shrubs will thrive – not survive – and they will be much healthier than being fed with synthetics. Your children and pets will be safer by not being exposed to harmful petro based synthetic chemicals. 

4. Plan Ahead

The months of January and February are great times to plan for 2014 spring gardening. Planning now will save you time and money.  Contact your landscape designer and/or landscape company and begin the discussion. Spring is only 78 days away!

A recent study in the Netherlands suggests that gardening can fight stress even better than other relaxing leisure activities. So get out there and relax!  Visit the NY Botanical Gardens, Brooklyn Botanical Gardens & Planting Fields.  Enjoy a stroll to see what's new and or what's old that will work in your garden.

“An early-morning walk is a blessing for the whole day”.
Henry David Thoreau
