There are several ways in which you can maintain and improve your gardens if you want to enter a ‘best garden competition’. Wining in a garden competition does require a lot of effort, however, and judges will without a doubt be looking for any signs of weakness.

Entering your garden into a local ‘best garden competition’ is easy but the work required to win is not. So here are three main aspects to consider if you’re planning on becoming a contestant.

Fertilising:
There are not always enough nutrients in garden soils to create a terrific garden so this is one of the first aspects you need to check before entering. You should fertilise your garden based on the type of soil you have and the needs of the plants you intend to grow.

Watering:
Did you know vegetable plants; fruits and flowers are almost 75% water? When sufficient soil moisture is available in your garden succulence, plant growth, eating quality and the productivity will be improved greatly.

Weeds:
They will absolutely hinder you from winning in a garden competition, let alone entering your garden into a local ‘best garden competition’. Weeds in a garden are plants that are out of place. They compete for water, nutrients and they even harbour insects and diseases caused by pests. It’s advisable to keep uprooting weeds every time they sprout in your garden.

Undoubtedly, working on the various factors mentioned above ensure that your garden is healthy and can support your crops. Once you take care of all these aspects you are ready to enter, so best of luck if you’re interested, and we do hope you win top prize! Just have a quick look online if you want to find competitions in your area, but as a rule of thumb they usually kick off around Easter time.
