We have all done it when you’re walking along and see a beautiful, idyllic garden and swear to ourselves that we are going to get our garden like that before the season is over. Often due to time and cost this doesn’t always happen and over time the job of mowing/ weeding the garden grows ever bigger.
If you want a garden that is easy to maintain you need to stay away from flower beds and too much grass area. Grassed areas are not too bad as they can simply be mowed but flower beds will have to be weeded and new weeds can spring up every week.
Potted plants are brilliant for adding a splash of colour to an area and can be easily moved if you want to. Some people find that it is easy to look after potted plants than ones that reside in a flower bed.
To beat the weeds, try and put some weeding blanket down with gravel or bark on to. Be sure to regularly spray the area with weed killer to ensure no new growth and if you do have to remove weeds, take care not to damage the weeding blanket.
