Some tips for controling weeds

- Remove weeds before they go to seed

Pruning

Regular pruning helps to improve the quality and size of flowers, fruits, leaves and stems. There are several plant groups, like shrubs, trees, climbers, hedges, roses, and fruits that need different treatments in different parts of the year. Some general rules of thumb may apply, but there are also lots of exceptions. Consult books or the internet, what is in the best interest of your shrubs or trees in your garden.

Always use the proper equipment and make sure it is sharp to make clean cuts, to prevent damage and bad re-growth. Also think about your own safety. Wear goggles and gloves if necessary and be carefull with (step)ladders and handling your equipment.

Pick up and remove all prunings. Try to burn them, especially those showing signs of disease or pest damage.
