SPRING RESET WITH DOC!

Clear it | Compost it | Feed it | Mulch it
Then watch it grow!
Doc shows us how to wake up tired garden beds and prepare them for a beautiful new season.

One golden rule: keep mulch 5–10 cm away from trunks and plant stems, piling it against them traps moisture and can cause rot.
Finish with a good watering to settle everything in, and let the spring magic begin!

PREP YOUR PICK

Before planting something new, make space for it. •Remove broken or tired growth
•Clear the weeds you can reach
•Spread compost over open beds
•Top up mulch before warmer days dry the soil faster.

You do not have to finish the whole garden today choose
~one bed
~one pot
~one corner
and get that ready first.
