Spring is just around the corner, and it’s time to get your hands dirty! 

Dave Cochrane is joined by Gav from Lee Rowan's Garden World for the return of our regular segment, Gardening with Gav. In Part One of our ultimate guide on what to do in August to get your garden ready for spring, we’re tackling the essential groundwork—from beating the weeds and timing your veggie patch rotation to picking the best flowers for the season ahead.


Step One (The Weed Crackdown): Unpacking the mysterious "7-day rule" for weeding and why you need to tackle your garden beds twice to break the cycle.


Step Two (The Veggie Patch Reset): Why you need to leave a vital window of time between pulling out one crop and planting your new spring seedlings.


Step Three (Flower Power): Discovering which gorgeous blooms you should be looking at planting this year to add an instant splash of colour.


Looking Ahead: A sneak peek at next week’s episode, where we’ll show you exactly how to dress and care for your lawn as the weather warms up.

If you want your garden looking the absolute best on the block this spring, this is the episode to kickstart your green thumb.
