Spring is finally here ! If the good weather is not quite there yet, you feel a desire to get down to business. But even if you have a green thumb, it's not given to everyone to know how and when to go about it.

You will be grateful to us for favoring plants that require little maintenance , whether they are intended for your hedges or borders, choose easy-to-live-with shrubs such as star jasmine , eucalyptus or even olive trees.

2- Weeds:

The sustainability of your plants depends on it because they can be smothered, so don't wait until their roots are buried too deep! Regular weeding will save you from devoting a whole weekend to it when the time comes, when they have invaded everything.

Plants especially need love, pay them attention and you will see them flourish.
4- An ecosystem to observe:

In balance with an ecosystem of which he holds the secret, he is a big boy who knows how to protect himself almost alone. Treat it as such too, apart from weeding and watching that it does not fall victim to diseases or insects, let it grow at its ease. Observe him but leave him certain initiatives! Avoid overloading it, by constantly changing its appearance, it will only be more resplendent.
