The summer months have arrived, the sun is shining harder than ever before, and your garden is bursting with life and color. Now is the time to enjoy this b(l)ood season. As you embrace nature, summer sometimes requires a little extra attention. Temperature peaks and sunny days offer challenges that your garden can easily overcome with a little love and attention. We help you with some practical tips for your garden and Corten steel garden products.
The basic principles
A vibrant garden starts with a solid foundation. By paying attention to proper care techniques, you can ensure that your garden remains lush throughout the summer.
Water your garden the smart way: Water is essential in summer, but watering your garden requires a smart approach. Water your plants early in the morning or late in the evening. This way you minimize evaporation and ensure that water penetrates deep into the soil where your plants need it most. Avoid watering in the baking sun to keep your plants healthy and strong.
Feed your plants for good growth: During the summer, your plants need an extra push to keep blooming beautifully. Give your fast-growing bloomers and potted plants a little extra boost with some plant food or potassium-rich fertilizer. Just remember to water first to avoid root damage and enjoy your flowers in your garden to the fullest.
Facilitate new blooms: By removing spent flowers, you give your plants new energy to renew. This simple maintenance can make a world of difference. For example, try it with roses or lavender for a beautiful second bloom. Simply cut or trim off the spent flower with sharp scissors or a knife as close to the next growth bud as possible.
Shade and hydration: Not only do you benefit from a little shade and good hydration, your plants enjoy this during the summer months as well. Use shade cloths to protect vulnerable plants from the sun and spread mulch to keep the soil moist and cool.
With these measures, you can ensure proper summer maintenance, and enjoy your garden to the fullest.
Corten steel in the summer sun
Corten steel is a strong style element that can withstand the summer heat perfectly. Its warm appearance accentuates the vibrant colors of your garden and makes it a real eye-catcher.
The strong element is designed to withstand extreme weather conditions without any difficulty. Although it can heat up in the sun, and you can feel this even when touched, corten steel retains its integrity and aesthetics. During heat waves, however, it is wise to sometimes give your plants in corten steel planters a little extra water. Heating the planter can cause the soil to dry out more quickly.
Corten steel otherwise requires little maintenance and develops a self-healing rust layer that protects it from further rusting. It is the ideal choice for gardeners who want to combine beauty with functionality, even in the hottest months.
