Top Gardening Tips for 2025
If you are a lover of gardening, you might have a few New Year resolutions about your garden; most of us start the year with goals and motivations, and with that in mind, here are a few gardening tips to help you create a stunning outdoor living space.
- Don’t forget to mulch – With affordable forestry mulching on the Sunshine Coast, you can get the professionals to mulch your complete garden. Mulching offers several benefits, namely it provides much-needed nutrients and land clearing removes unwanted growth. This should be an annual operation and that will prepare for a new growing season.
- Grow something new – The Internet hosts a wealth of information on plant and tree species; if you live in Australia, there are many exotic species that would do well in your climate. Take a drive to your nearest garden nursery and you are sure to find a few suitable shrubs/plants that hold some interest. Buy a few plantation boxes and introduce conifers to make a natural screening.
- Create an organic vegetable garden – Use that far corner that is sitting idle; clear the area and dig in a few bags of prime compost, which will nourish the ground. Avoid using chemicals and fertilisers that are not natural and grow lettuce, tomatoes, carrots and potatoes for starters. It is very saisfying to grow your own produce and with no chemicals, you can be sure that you are eating healthy vegetables.
- Plants that help pollinators – There are certain species that bees and other insects look for to pollinate, search the web for more information on how to make your garden pollinator-friendly.
- Review your gardening equipment – We could always do with a few more tools and if that old lawnmower is on its last legs, treat yourself to a ride-on lawnmower, which can also be used to transport things around the yard, like a mini-tractor.
If you have a large spread, there are companies on the Gold Coast that provide mulching and land clearing services and they can easily be found with a Google search. Planning is important with gardening and you can start in January and get ready for the end of the summer, which is only a couple of months away.
