Green Fingered Resolutions for 2016

Happy New Year! 2016 has arrived, which means you may be thinking about making some New Year’s resolutions.

This year, why not make some green-fingered resolutions, designed to help you get more from your garden throughout the year? Here are a few easy ideas to inspire you.

Encourage garden wildlife

For 2016, why not breathe some life into your garden and do your bit for the environment by making your garden more wildlife friendly?

You can do this in any way you like, but it could involve:

  • Planting a wildflower garden or creating a meadow space
  • Attracting British garden birds with nesting boxes, bird baths and feeders
  • Creating a haven for hedgehogs with your very own hedgehog house
  • Providing bees with a place to nest, like this Beepol Lodge

Sort out the slugs

Ok, so that might sit in direct opposition to the last resolution on the list, but slugs and snails are a gardener’s worst enemy – and no one wants them nibbling at their prize veggies!

For 2016, take effective action by putting a slug plan in place, and getting your equipment in early. Whilst you can go for slug pellets, there are more natural solutions available that can be just as effective. This eco-friendly slug and snail trap is safe and poison free, attracting and killing slugs without the need for harsh chemicals. 

Alternatively, you might want to invest in The Slug X, a specially designed trap that uses beer to attract and dispatch these garden invaders.

Let there be light

It’s really easy to overlook, but the right garden lighting has the potential to completely transform your outside space.

Whether you need to increase security, want to create the right mood for your evening entertaining, or are looking to highlight the favourite aspects and features of your garden, lighting will help you to create the garden you’ve always dreamed of.

Make 2016 the year you enhance your garden with the right lighting systems from Keen Gardener. With a wide range of mains and low voltage systems, there’s something for every outside space in the Keen Gardener range.

Take care of your tools

The right, high quality garden tools should provide you with many years of faithful service, as long as you look after them properly.

After a hard day’s gardening, it’s easy to throw the tools back in the shed or garage until you need them again, but this can significantly reduce their lifespan. This year, why not commit to spending a few minutes cleaning and drying your tools properly – it’s guaranteed to pay dividends in the long run!

Keeping tools sharp and free from rust is an integral part of the process, and will help to make all your cutting, pruning, weeding and digging jobs much easier.

Spend more time enjoying your garden

It’s easy to get carried away when gardening, and if you’re not careful, you could end up spending significantly more time working in your garden than enjoying it.

This year, commit to spending more time enjoying your garden, relaxing, entertaining and socialising. Make the most of your leisure time and get more from your garden in 2016 by investing in the right garden furniture and barbecue from Keen Gardener.
