Tool Of The Month - March

With March comes the arrival of spring, and not a moment too soon.

The so called "beast from the east" has brought with it some very chilly weather to kick off the month and some warmth now feels very long overdue.

According to the Royal Horticultural Society, the top ten jobs to get on with this month in the garden are as follows:

• Protect new spring shoots from slugs
• Plant shallots, onion sets and early potatoes
• Plant summer-flowering bulbs
• Lift and divide overgrown clumps of perennials
• Top dress containers with fresh compost
• Mow the lawn on dry days (if needed)
• Cut back Cornus (dogwood) and Salix (willow) grown for colourful winter stems
• Hoe and mulch weeds to keep them under control early
• Start feeding fish and using the pond fountain; remove pond heaters
• Prune bush and climbing roses
