Probably, you spend a lot of your spare time in the garden. The work there helps us to be close to the nature, to enjoy our life and to escape from the daily stress. Here you can read a simple list of mistakes that you'd better try to avoid in your gardening work:
1. Fill a wrong positioned huge container
Imagine the following situation: you have a really huge container in your garden and one day you fill it. But after that you realize that its position is totally wrong. Then you will probably try to move it, but it could harm your back or you can unload, move the empty container and then fill it again. It will be much easier if you just carefully plan the position of each container in your garden.
2. Selecting wrong tools
If you use too old or unsuitable tools, for example a dull shovel, some of your garden tasks will become much more harder and even impossible to be finished. So, check out your equipment and if it's necessary buy some new tool.
3. Too few tools
Many gardeners think they need very few tools in their gardening work. But you can feel much more comfortable in your garden if you use more of the contemporary gardening tools such as the garden carts which will help you to carry your tool and will prevent the risk of lost.
4. Buy sickly or weak plants
It will make your gardening much more harder. You should be very careful when you select flowers and plants for your garden. The best place where you can buy good plants is the local nursery which has a good reputation. You can find more unhealthy plant at the big stores. If you buy plants from there, don't hesitate to ask some of the sellers which of them are delivered on or closer to the current day. Usually, the delivery of plant in the big stores is the same day every week.
5. Under Watering
Watering is one of the most important works especially in the summer when the weather is hot. Then you should provide water to most of the plants every day.
