Hints and Tips for Winter Gardeners from DIY Matters

Manchester, United Kingdom, December 16, 2010 --(PR.com)-- As we enter the festive months of December and January, DIY Matters offers some advice for Winter gardeners.

With seeds lying dormant awaiting Spring there is certainly less to do - but there is plenty of work for those who want the perfect garden.

Planning your garden is one of the greatest pleasures of winter gardening. It is the ideal time for rethinking the design because looks bear without the foliage of spring or blooming flowers in summer.

Structuring the garden extremely important - holding the whole design together. With a well-structured garden, everything else becomes much easier.

Garden design ideas include making sure your garden is well proportioned - layout of paths, patios and lawns - and the height and structure of objects such as trees and hedges.

Keep it simple - with simple shapes which look strong and elegant.

Making sure that everything in your garden is larger than indoors will make your garden look scaled correctly.

When planning think about getting some sort of landscape fabric to enhance the shape of your garden. This will make all the difference.

Many people are happy with their garden already. Winter is the perfect season time to read gardening catalogues. New plants and ornaments will make a huge impact and a refreshing change.

Remember to think about those pesky weeds and invest in some weed control fabric before the end of winter.

Landscape fabric help to shape your garden in Spring the way you want it to.

DIY Matters is a subsidiary to one of the largest importers of garden fabric in the UK and has access to the world's best landscape fabric.
