To take care of a garden, regularly water the plants, provide adequate sunlight, and ensure proper soil nutrition. Prune plants to promote growth, remove weeds, and protect against pests. Regularly mulch to retain moisture and control temperature. Additionally, observe plant health, address issues promptly, and adjust care based on specific plant needs.

To rejuvenate your lawn, start by aerating the soil for improved air, water, and nutrient circulation. Overseed to fill in bare spots and encourage thicker, healthier grass. Apply a balanced fertilizer containing nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to provide essential nutrients. Ensure consistent and proper watering for germination and growth, favoring deep watering over frequent shallow sessions. Set your mower at the appropriate height to avoid cutting more than one-third of the grass at once, promoting a dense turf. Address existing weeds through manual removal or selective herbicides, and consider dethatching if there's a thick layer of thatch. Conduct a soil test to identify and rectify any deficiencies or imbalances, adjusting the pH and adding amendments accordingly. Lastly, monitor the lawn regularly for pests, diseases, and other issues, taking prompt action to maintain a lush and resilient turf.

The optimal months for scarifying your lawn are April and May when the grass is in vigorous growth. However, the suitable scarifying window extends from March to May and also in September, contingent upon weather conditions. It is advisable to scarify your lawn twice a year, avoiding periods of cold ground temperatures; ideally, the soil should be at 10°C or higher.

For a well-rounded approach, lawn care experts often suggest fertilizing your lawn regularly, with four applications throughout the year. This includes a feeding session in early spring, typically around March or April, depending on weather conditions. Two more applications are recommended between May and July, with the final one in late autumn, spanning from September to November.
