Mantis makes it easy to create a bountiful garden, and a beautiful yard!  Whether you’re breaking new ground for a first-time garden, or getting an existing garden ready for planting, the Mantis Tiller will make it easy and fun!

Spring is the season to begin to get out in the garden and enjoying the outdoors.  Here are a few tips to gardening in the spring.

April:

  • April is National Gardening Month.  Plant summer fruits, vegetables, and flower bulbs.  Even if you are in a zone that get’s frost, you should be in the clear.  Towards the end of April, celebrate Earth Day on the 22nd and Arbor Day on the 27th.  There is no better way to celebrate either of these two days, and National Gardening Month, than to plant trees and shrubs.
  • April 22nd is Earth Day. If you have a low-lying area where water accumulates, create a rain garden! Plant water-loving plants like ferns, bayberry, or cardinal flower. The plants filter pesticides from the water before it gets into the water table.

May:

  • Stay on top of weeds.  This is when most nasty weeds begin to “take charge”.  Make sure you keep on top of them before they can do damage, and you will not have a problem.  The Mantis Tiller works wonders in any area; large or small.
  • Water your newly planted trees and shrubs.  New plants need the most attention, so be sure to give them a little extra TLC.  Just remember to water either early in the morning, or about an hour after sunset.

June:

  • Get out the mower!  June is when the lawn will become more alive.  Don’t think of it as a chore anymore.  With the Mantis Reel Mower it is more like exercise!
  • Cut flowers weekly, or even ever couple days.  The best way to extend the life of your beautiful flowers is by cutting them back and keeping them fresh.

Creating a Habitat for birds:
Increase the wildlife in your backyard by creating a habitat for your local species of birds.  Not all backyards come with landscaping that attracts your fine feather friends, so for most, this must be created.   Here are some tips for a great habitat for birds:

  • Housing.  Make sure there are plenty of trees around for housing and nesting.  The birds need a place to reside in bad weather, and place to escape when they encounter predators.
  • Keep Bird Feeder’s clean Scrub bird feeders with a water and bleach solution.  This will help ensure safe feeding for the birds.  Make sure to clean the feeders regularly.  You also need to remember to clean up any soggy seed underneath the feeder.  Old “wet” seed can become moldy and unsafe.
  • Put out a bird bath.  Bird baths should also be scrubbed with a mild bleach solution before putting out for the birds.  Make sure to rinse very well after scrubbing.  Replace the water every couple days and enjoy watching the birds drink and splash around!
  • Keep the cats inside.  Cats are a known predator for the birds, especially for the young ones fleeing from the nest.

Keep these key tips in mind, and you will be enjoying the bird watching in no time!
