We may be experts in installing replacement windows in your Bronx home, but did you know that at 3rd Avenue Window Supply, we’re also full of tips to make your home better? Including gardening tips?
Read our list of gardening mistakes so you don’t make them in your garden!
• Planting your garden in the wrong location.
o How to fix it: Don’t worry, you don’t have to tear out the beds entirely. If you have raised beds, empty them and spread a level of gravel evenly over the planters. This will improve the drainage. Refill the planters with fresh organic compost and you are all set!
• You neglected to prepare your soil last year and wound up with an entire vegetable patch that either died or never produced anything.
o How to fix it: Test your soil each year to find out what type you have and what it needs based on what you are growing.
• Whoops, you accidentally pulled up flowers rather than weeds!
o How to fix it: Tracking plants is a common mistake, so make sure to mark your plants using the nursery tags plants come with.
• You overwatered, and killed everything!
o How to fix it: Sure, underwatering can dehydrate your plants, but overwatering can drown plant roots and cause them to rot. Invest in an irrigation system with a “smart” controller for an easy fix.
Once you follow our gardening tips, you’ll be looking at a beautiful garden through your window replacements!
