A comprehensive guide for a blooming start to the season. From soil care to plant selection – Can Juanito shares his expertise.
Spring is approaching, and for garden lovers in Mallorca this means the opportunity to prepare their green oases for the upcoming season. Renowned gardening expert Can Juanito from Son Ferriol, provides valuable insights and practical tips on how to prepare your garden for spring now.
Healthy soil as the cornerstone
A healthy garden starts with healthy soil. Can Juanito emphasizes the importance of a nutrient-rich subsoil, which is achieved by adding humus, compost or manure.
These natural ingredients not only promote soil fertility, but also support the microorganisms that are essential for plant growth. A well-nourished soil is the basis for strong plants and rich harvests.
Irrigation system on the test bench
In view of the increasing drought, an efficient irrigation system is essential. Can Juanito advises checking and, if necessary, revising existing systems in order to avoid water losses and ensure an optimal water supply. In particular, he recommends the use of irrigation hoses, which enable uniform and targeted water distribution.
Rück pruning for healthy plant growth
March is also the ideal time to prune trees and shrubs.
Can Juanito explains how professional pruning not only improves the shape of plants, but also promotes their growth and fertility. With fruit trees in particular, it is important to ensure that the fruit grows primarily on the new branches.
Another important aspect is the care of garden tools. Clean, well-maintained tools are not only more durable, but also more efficient to use. Can Juanito reminds us to always keep tools clean and ready to hand to prevent rust and loss.
Planning new plantings
After all, it's time to plant new plants and plan the garden for the coming year. Can Juanito advises placing plants with similar water requirements together and taking into account the location requirements in terms of sun and shade. Careful planning in advance avoids future problems caused by overgrowing plants.
For anyone who needs help implementing these tips or is looking for further advice, Can Juanito is ready to share his expertise and help you create a dream garden.
