4 Odd Jobs You Could Be Doing in your Garden Right Now

Over the winter time our gardens become neglected because it’s simply too cold and wet to venture out and keep things at bay. However, if you’re not careful you could find yourself in a sticky mess when it comes to the spring time if you neglect everything in your garden. It doesn’t matter whether your garden is big or small, the work needed can soon mount up! Let’s take a look at some odd jobs you could be doing in your garden right now!

Clear any debris

Over the autumn and the winter, it’s unlikely that your garden wont accrue some sort of debris. This is normally dust and soil that has been carried by the wind, and also leaves falling from the trees around and in your garden.


Take the time to rake in all of the debris and get rid of it so that when it comes to the spring time you’re not wasting too much valuable time clearing away debris. Plus, it will keep your garden looking as nice as possible during the winter months.

Prepare your soil

With the cold and wet weather it’s likely that your soil isn’t in great condition and without some TLC it probably won’t be ready for the spring. Take your trowel and turn the soil as often as possible to give it a chance to dry out a little and not be as soggy as it would be without turning it. Soggy soil isn’t good for plants and will quickly kill them off, so be sure to spend some time every week or so turning the soil.

Now is also the best time to treat your soil with something like OnnuBiochar. There are different types of products for different purpose soils, so make sure you check what the purpose of each one is to match it up with your garden’s needs! You’ll find that your soil is much healthier when you need to use it.

Prune your dead flowers and trees

If you’ve got flowers in your garden which should grow back in the springtime, now would be a fantastic time to prune them so that they can grow fresh shoots and flowers when the weather is more suitable. 


This is also a good idea for any trees that you have that aren’t evergreen. Any trees that grow fruit will thrive from a good prune and grow back the following season as healthy as ever!

Plan your garden

Take a look around your garden and plan out where you’re going to be planting your plants in the spring, and whether or not you’re going to try your hand at growing vegetables in your garden in the spring. Sectioning off these areas now will allow you to get straight to work when the time is right; meaning your garden will be looking fantastic in no time!


If you’re planning a big build in your garden like decking or a pool, now would be the time to section off the area that you want to change so that you know you don’t have to worry too much about the condition of the grass or plant beds.


Put these checks into play with your garden and you will see how much easier gardening will be once the spring is upon us.
