Spray roses showing signs of diseases such as blackspot, rust or powdery mildew
Apply a combined weed, feed and moss killer to your lawn if you think it needs it
Top up water levels in pools and remove water weeds with a net
Hoe borders on hot sunny days to remove developing weed seedlings
Continue watering anything newly planted until it has established
Cut verges along the roadside to prevent plants obscuring the view of motorists
Use a circuit breaker (RCD) when using any electric power tools
Treat problem weeds emerging in borders with herbicide
Lightly trim new growth on box hedging
