Keep reading to learn about gardening tips you can use to start the new year.

We’re now starting 2025, and with the new year comes new year resolutions. One goal you may have for the new year is to take better care of your landscape. This, in part, involves performing the right gardening procedures to keep your yard healthy throughout the year. Keep reading to learn about gardening tips you can use to start the new year.

Water More Deeply and Less Often

Generally, it’s recommended that you water more deeply whenever you’re gardening. This is a great way to save water while also improving your garden’s health and making deeper and stronger root systems. The reason you save water this way is because you won’t have to water your garden as frequently. A deeper watering will keep your soil wet for a longer period of time, so you won’t have to constantly keep tending to your garden to give it more water.

Create a Compost Pile

If you need to remove excess organic materials from your yard, making a compost pile can be a great gardening tip to follow. By making a compost pile, you eliminate the need to take your organic matter to a landfill for disposal. At the same time, making your own compost is a money saver.

Make a Consistent Schedule for Fertilizing

Another good piece of gardening advice is to stay on top of fertilizing. To do this, you should put together a schedule for when fertilizing should be done. Fertilizer is beneficial to your plants because it encourages more blossoms and green growth.

Prune Your Trees When the Time is Right

Knowing when to prune your trees isn’t always easy, especially because the right time for pruning can vary based on the types of trees you have around your yard. Generally, however, February will be a good month to get tree pruning done. This is because it’s a month when tree diseases are not very prominent. As such, your trees will be much less likely to become unwell during the pruning process.
