Hey everyone,

I have been a proud homeowner for about 4 months now and hoped to be finished by now. However, the garden still needs to be landscaped. I have already seeded the lawn and planted some flowers, but only a few of the flowers are still standing, and the grass is not really growing.

What can be done about this?

Regards, Jan

Hey Jan ;-)

The best approach is to take a soil sample first and either bring it to or send it to a laboratory. They will then tell you which fertilizer and treatments you need to apply to make your soil truly fertile.

You also need to pay attention to the time of year! Plants that are meant to be planted or sown in spring cannot be planted in winter. They would either die from the cold or fail to sprout.

oh.... I didn’t pay attention to the planting season at all 🙂
we will then plant the right plants at the appropriate time of year, thanks

And what about the floor? Do you already have any results there?

No, not yet. I first took a sample, which will be sent in tomorrow.
