December is a quiet time
in the garden, many of the plants are waiting for the first warmth of spring to
emerge. Nevertheless, there are still plenty of jobs that you can be getting on
with, particularly preparing for spring 2019.
If you haven’t already, you should be
protecting your plants through December and January from the cold snaps. Move
any potted plants to a sheltered area, such as a greenhouse or conservatory.
Alternatively, group potted plants together close to a wall of your house,
garage or shed, this way they will be less exposed to strong winds and the
colder weather.
It is a good idea to clear fallen leaves from
driveways and pathways using a leaf blower. Cobra’s BV65-24v
Cordless Blower is the perfect tool for the job; lightweight,
compact and powerful. Once it rains, leaves that have fallen on the ground
quickly begin to rot and become slippery. If left, a winter frost will make
them stick to the ground, turn hard and icy. The Cordless Blower by Cobra
allows you to quickly and easily clear your garden of leaves, making it safer
and looking much tidier!
Now is the best time to
prune fruit trees, as the leaves will have fallen off and the plant itself is
dormant. If you have neglected to prune your trees for a while don’t despair,
it can be made simply with Cobra’s P20E Electric Powered Pole Pruner –
designed specifically to reach awkward heights and angles to prune effectively.
With an extendable bar than can reach up to 2.7 metres, you can prune longer
branches with ease.
Start by removing dying, dead, diseased,
damaged or weak branches. Remove older branches by cutting back to the origin,
and don’t be afraid to cut any branches back that have grown too high, too wide
or are causing congestion at the centre of the tree.
Cobra’s Pole Pruner is also ideal for cutting
firewood! At this time of year, who is going to say no to a cosy, log-burning
fire?
