Bad smells in a garden can make our stay in it much shorter than we would like. That’s right. Nobody likes to sit for example, enjoying reading a good book, and suddenly feel that the wind has brought a most unpleasant aroma to our noses.
There’s a solution? Fortunately, yes. Even in the worst case, there is always something we can do. So do not hesitate to write down these tricks to make the garden smell good.
Look for the source of the bad smell
This is basic, but important. It is the first thing to do when the garden does not smell good. But of course, what causes a bad smell? Well, there are several things: animal droppings and urine, standing water, garbage… and even if you live in a rural area (in cities it does not usually happen) or you have a very large garden there may be a recently deceased animal.
Animal Businesses
If you have dogs and / or cats that go to your garden, it is necessary that you remove their excrement, and also if you can the urinesince in the long run they damage the earth, especially the urine of the felines, which is very concentrated. Be careful: animals and gardens are perfectly compatible, but it doesn’t hurt to protect plants from their residues.
In case you already do but it still smells bad, do not rule out taking a look in case some furry has gone to your garden to die. It is something that stray cats do a lot: they look for a quiet and safe place, next to a tree or even inside a large bucket (no kidding: one of my ‘gardener’ cats got into a bucket of paint, the big ones , to die there).
You can remove his corpse yourself if you feel strong (both physical and, above all, emotional), or ask someone to do it. Then, you can choose to bury it in your lot, or contact the authorities to take it away.
Stagnant water
Stagnant water is one of the worst things that can be in a garden, except of course for fountains and ponds . But you have to be careful: if the weather is mild and / or warm, it can become a breeding ground for mosquitoes… and if the bad smell that this water gives off is already horrible, things get worse if there are a lot of mosquitoes that will not leave you alone as soon as you set foot in the garden.
Therefore, you have to remove that stagnant water. If it is in buckets, sources, or in any other similar place, it will be removed and then cleaned, thoroughly, with a little dishwasher.
Trash
After a lunch or dinner, you have to take everything inside the house to clean and / or throw it away. However, if the remains are vegetables, that is, the skin of some fruit, the few potatoes that have remained,… etc., we may have the tendency to throw it on the ground, as we fertilize it.
It is so. But especially during the summer it is not advisable to leave the leftovers there, out in the open. So you have to clean the garden from time to time.
Plant some plants that smell good
It is very interesting to put plants that produce flowers with a pleasant aroma. You are also they are beautiful, and very easy to care for. You can make this a family project and teach your children, nephews, and / or grandchildren to plant and care for plants.
While you do it, you will get a garden that smells much better.
