What should you do first when spring starts in Brisbane?
Start with soil, cleanup and the basic maintenance jobs that make the rest of the season easier. Spring is less about trying to do everything at once and more about setting the garden up properly before growth accelerates.
That usually means cleanup, pruning decisions, mulch, irrigation checks and any planting changes that will make summer easier.
What gets missed most often?
Irrigation checks and pruning timing. A lot of gardens head into warm weather with blocked emitters, tired mulch and plants that needed shaping weeks earlier.
A simple spring checklist solves more than most people expect.
