Lawns are however flower beds or a vegetable patch, it is a much newer concept than gardening.

A gardener’s job is numerous as well as sensitive.

An expert gardener must adhere to several basic processes which include;

·         Combating weeds and pests such as fungi or animals (especially insects) that could endanger the garden. Garden pests could disturb the soil thereby stunting plant growth, damaging plant appearance, etc.

·         Create distance between garden plants to reduce competition for soil between them.

·         Watering, Pruning and even conditioning the soil.

Other than these basics, the gardener assesses the complexities of temperature, wind, rainfall, sunlight, and shade found within his garden boundaries.

 Lawns And Gardens.

Lawns and Gardens are both common outdoor spaces that are aesthetically pleasing and add functionality to a home. Lawns are typically made up of grass and are designed for recreation and relaxation, while Gardens are more diverse and include a variety of plants, vegetables, flowers, and fruits.

The main difference between a lawn and a garden is that a lawn is usually covered with grass, whereas a garden has plants of different types and species.

A lawn is an area of short, regularly mown grass in the garden of a house or a park while the garden can just be referred to as a piece of land or an out-space area of ground.

In conclusion, a good gardener should ensure to;

• Check the health of his plants and flowers.
• Water properly the soil and plants.
• Treat the soil and protect the plants/flowers from harsh conditions or temperatures.
• Clean all gardening tools regularly.

Homeowners who want to care for their outdoor space by themselves can do so with these DIY (Do-It-Yourself) tips:

1. Perform Plant Maintenance.

Prune and cull your plants as needed. You can also remove old flower blooms to encourage new flowers to grow, this is called Dead-heading.

Pruning is cutting back the branches of your plants to control growth and make room for more. Pruning plants can seem like a very challenging chore if one is not sure how much to trim off or when to make cuts to tame unwanted plant growth.

Culling plants will clean up the not-so-healthy parts thereby creating more space for the garden to blossom.

2. Destroy the weeds.

Weeds only kill gardens. They do this by suffocating the roots of healthy flowers and plants. Weeds invite pests which are proven nuisances in garden life. Hence, it is advisable to weed the garden regularly to help it grow and keep it healthy.

3. Protect from animals.

If your garden has a garden bed, it is best to set up a barrier around it. This will help to keep out unwanted animals and even human presence that could be disastrous for the garden.

Many people adopt wire fencing, which has proven to be very effective.

4. Stake Plants.

Staking plants involves fixing sticks into the ground and tying your flower stems or other garden crops to them with a cloth or. You could stake cucumbers, peppers, and even tomato plants. This prevents the stem from breaking and bending, thereby keeping the plants healthy and upright.

5. Constant Watering.

Undoubtedly, the best way to check whether or not a plant needs watering is by checking the soil. For containers, fingers can be used to check but for ground soils, using a trowel is more effective. If the soil is hard to the touch, it needs watering.

These gardening methods all promote the growth of plants and flowers. They help clear out any pests and increase room for the flower or vegetable garden to flourish.
