Garden chores in April
April marks the official start of spring, so it's time to roll up those green sleeves! After a dreary winter, your lawn could use a boost, and we're already looking forward to the first vegetable garden guests! Unfortunately, unwanted garden guests are also back, so keep a close eye on your garden! You can find out all about it in our blog.
A refresh for your lawn
Scarify your lawn to remove thatch and moss. This will allow your lawn to breathe again during spring and grow vigorously! Sow small bare patches with a fast-growing repair lawn and larger patches with a full-fledged play and sports mixture. This will prevent weeds from taking root!
Thanks to our step-by-step plan, it's a piece of cake
Weeding
It's not just gardeners who come back to life when they feel the first rays of sunshine; weeds also start sprouting from the ground again. So take a quick weekly stroll around the garden to pull out any unwanted plants. This will help you keep dandelions, chickweed and plantain under control. Think of it as a mini workout or simply a moment of zen in the open air!

The first preparations for our tomatoes!
Do you have a vegetable garden? Then juicy tomatoes are a must! But even without a vegetable garden, you can easily grow cherry tomatoes—just in a pot on your patio or balcony. Perfect for urban gardeners.
You can already pre-sow the blushing fruits and place them indoors on the windowsill. This will keep them nice and warm and allow them to grow quietly indoors over the coming weeks. After the last frost, they can be moved outside or to the greenhouse. Discover our wide range of tomato seeds and handy growing materials!
Smart watering = fewer worries!
Install a drip hose now, and you won't have to lug around watering cans during the summer. Your plants will get exactly the amount of water they need, without waste. And you can go on vacation this summer with peace of mind, without the risk of finding your flower beds looking like the Sahara Desert when you return.
