Spring is just around the corner! This is the perfect time to get your garden ready for the new season. A well-prepared garden not only ensures a fresh start but also makes maintenance easier throughout the season. In this blog post, you'll find the best tips and we'll show you how Stihl machines can help you.
Start with a clean slate
Before you start, it's important to tidy up your garden. So, if you haven't done so in the past few months, remove dead leaves, branches, and other debris. Make it easy on yourself and use a Stihl leaf blower, such as the Stihl BGA 57 cordless leaf blower . This quiet, powerful leaf blower makes tidying up a lot easier.
Tip: Collect the leaves in a compost pile. This way you have free organic fertilizer for later in the season!
Pruning for new growth
Pruning keeps plants healthy and stimulates new growth. In January and February, the bare branches allow you to better assess the shape and access them more easily. Therefore, you can prune some plants during the last months of winter, such as butterfly bushes, wisteria, clematis, or panicle hydrangea. But be careful: leave spring bloomers alone for a while and prune them only after they have finished flowering, so in the fall. Use easy-to-use, compact pruning shears, such as the Stihl GTA 26 , for precise pruning.
Check your garden machinery
Nothing is more frustrating than a machine that doesn't start when you need it. Therefore, make sure your Stihl garden tools are properly maintained before you start. Consider the following:
- Change oil
- Sharpening knives
- Charging batteries

Preparing for new plants
Spring is the perfect time to sow new plants and flowers. So prepare the soil well by tilling it and enriching it with compost or fertilizer. For larger areas, you can use a Stihl tiller , such as the Stihl MH 445 R.
