The Doer’s Spring Checklist – 10 Quick Wins for Your Garden
Spring doesn’t wait, and neither should you. Here’s a straightforward checklist to get your garden tools and garden fighting fit for the growth season..
- Sharpen your blades – Secateurs and pruning saws with sharp edges give clean cuts that heal faster. Keep a small file or sharpening stone in your toolbox.
- Clear out weeds – A garden fork or sturdy trowel helps lift weeds from the root, stopping regrowth. We also have knapsack sprayers that can help if filled with weed-killer.
- Prune with purpose – Use bypass secateurs for green growth, anvil secateurs for thicker, woody stems, and loppers for branches just out of reach.
- Patch the lawn – A hand rake and a Kaufmann fertiliser spreader make reseeding patches a quick, even job.
- Feed your soil – From handheld spreaders to wheeled ones, the right tool ensures your compost or fertiliser gets where it should – not clumped in one spot.
- Check your gear – Gloves with good grip, sprayers that work, and tools that feel solid in the hand keep every task smoother. Might need to clean those blades of a bit of rust!
- Mulch smart – A wheelbarrow or garden bag saves endless trips, while a fork spreads mulch evenly without strain.
- Edge and tidy – A sharp spade or edging tool creates neat, defined borders that instantly lift your garden’s look.
- Automate your watering – Pair your hose with a trigger sprayer or set up a timer – no more forgetting or overwatering.
- Start small, stay steady – One tool, one task at a time. A trowel for planting, secateurs for pruning – every small action adds up.
With the right Kaufmann tools in your shed, every tick on this checklist becomes quicker, cleaner, and more enjoyable. It’s not about fancy tricks – it’s about being prepared and putting in the work, one job at a time.
Live hands-on. With Kaufmann.
