Clean Up the Yard For Spring
Springtime is notorious for everyone to come out of their home and to get their yards, landscaping and bushes straightened up from the winter.
Usually there is quite a bit of debris and you know in order for the flowers shrubs and trees to flourish you need to feed them and care for them so they can bloom.
The other reason everyone congregates outside for cleaning is normally that is where a lot of people spend their spring and summer time after work and on the weekends.
So, once you have invested the initial cleanup time then the rest is maintenance.
Sometime the maintenance is more work but when you get it done the first time everything looks fresh and renewed.
Other than spraying down the outside of your home and cleaning the sides to remove the dust, you will probably have a patio and furniture to do the same.
Then it is time to collect the leaves and debris or the twigs and the weeds from the beds or from under the bushes.
One of the things that were purchased last year was large paper yard waste bags that a friend told me about.
Since there is usually quite a bit and you do not want to pull around the waste barrel what you can do is place a bag by each corner of your fence or your house and work inwards.
This was actually a good way to fill a bag from the outside corner and as you are bringing it in closer to the house by the time you reach the corner you simply place it out front and you do not have to go way back to the corner of the fence again.
You can repeat this step a couple of times and before you know it you are just about done.
In the beginning it was not clear how the bag was suppose to stay open because like any shopping paper bag they normally collapse onto themselves.
Then I forgot the flexible ring that can be used with the bags and remembered how to insert it near the top so it holds the bag open which allowed me to easily fill the bag.
This just made cleanup that much easier.
Now, you will be able to get into a regular routine of maintenance on your yard work for the rest of spring and summer to enjoy the outdoors.
