It looks like spring is finally here as good weather is expected to set in and the last of the winter snow appears to be firmly behind us.
This means that gardening professionals and green-fingered enthusiasts alike will undoubtedly be raring to get back to work outdoors.
Preparing some of the vegetables that need to be planted earlier in the year is likely to be right at the top of the to-do list for many individuals.
Those that are doing preparation for this task would do well to remember just how important it is that soil is kept in as good a condition as possible prior to planting.
One way to do this is by investing in a cultivator or tiller – and we have plenty of options here at MowDIRECT!
The Einhell BG-MT 3336 Petrol Mini-Tiller is the ideal option for those with small to medium-sized vegetable plots.
It is engineered to a very high standard by Einhell – and its series of four four-bladed rotors make it ideal for aerating, bed preparation and weeding.
We stock this machine for just £239.95 including VAT – a considerable saving on the RRP of £389.95.
Vegetable growers may also wish to consider creating a raised bed for their produce.
Chartered landscape architect and garden writer Bunny Guinness argued that these are good for the soil – as well as the gardener's back!
Writing in an article for the Daily Telegraph, she said: "There are many ways to make raised beds depending on the depths of your pocket, skill levels and aesthetics."
"Most of my raised beds tend to be one metre (3.3 ft) wide (the width I can comfortably stretch) by two metres to three metres long. I like a few one metre by one metre beds too – for an interesting layout," the expert commented, adding that this is also a great way of housing special plants like basil and coriander.
