Spring has sprung

The warmer weather has arrived and this means it’s the time when many plants will be demanding more nutrients. Feed plants in pots with an all purpose controlled release fertiliser. Feed plants in the ground with an all purpose powder granular fertiliser or pelletised poultry manure.

If you’re a bit short on time just let us know, we can choose and apply the most appropriate fertilisers for all the plants in your garden.

We have had particularly dry weather lately and no fertilsers work without water. So make sure to water the garden, set-up sprinklers on the lawns and in garden beds and also check that irrigation is working properly.

Perfect Time for Planting

April is the perfect time of year for planting. The soil is still warm, the chance of extremely hot weather has passed and it gives the plants the longest possible time to establish before their first Australian summer. So if your considering transplanting some plants in the garden or even planting out a whole new area, now is the time.

It’s Mulching Time

Now is the perfect time to consider mulching your garden. With a long hot summer on the way, mulching will help to retain moisture. It has the added benefit of helping to suppress weeds and of course looks great. There is a large number of choices available to suit a variety of needs.

Happy gardening.
