Summer gardening with Stihl: four tips for summer gardening jobs

There's plenty to do in your garden, even in summer. How about mowing the lawn or tending to the plants? Curious about which gardening jobs you can tackle? And which Stihl tools will help you with them? We've compiled a list for you.

Even in summer, you need to keep your lawn trimmed. However, don't mow it too short. The sun's rays on the ground dry out the soil and cause dry patches. If you keep the grass just a few centimeters longer, you'll need to water less. At Kraakman Tuinmachines, you'll find a variety of lawn mowers to keep your lawn in perfect condition. You can get started with traditional manual mowers, both electric and petrol-powered . Or choose an easy-to-use riding mower or a Stihl robotic lawn mower.

This is a job you'll enjoy! Prune your beautiful summer bloomers and put them in a vase. By pruning, you help the plant direct its energy toward producing new buds. This way, you can enjoy your plants longer, even the annuals. Stihl pruning shears are ergonomically designed so you can easily operate them with one hand.

Please note: do not prune during a heat wave or on extremely hot days.

Do you have a vegetable garden with zucchini, beans, carrots, or lettuce? Then you can start harvesting. Cherries, strawberries, berries, and raspberries are also fully ripe now. Get started on delicious recipes like soup and pastries. Freeze any leftovers so you can enjoy your summer garden all year round.

To keep your plants looking beautiful, they need nutrients even in the summer. The ideal time to fertilize is before a rainy day. With a Stihl plant sprayer, you can even fertilize hard-to-reach places.

You can also fertilize your lawn once or twice during the summer months with special lawn fertilizer. This will keep your grass extra healthy and maintain that beautiful green color.
