Garden chores are essential tasks that must be done in order to maintain a healthy garden. Spading, which involves digging and turning over soil with a spade, is necessary to aerate the soil and prepare it for planting. PRUNING involves trimming and cutting back plants to promote healthy growth and remove dead or diseased branches. WEEDING is the process of removing unwanted plants from the garden, such as weeds and invasive species. Finally, HOEING is the use of a hoe to break up soil and remove weeds. All of these tasks are important for keeping a garden looking its best.
