It's Week 2 of our Spring Gardening Tips!
FEED, W**D, INSPECT & REPEAT 🐌🌿
The garden is taking off! Warmer days means lots of fresh growth, but they also mean a few regular jobs to keep on top of.
🥕 Feed regularly:
Veges and strawberries are hungry while they’re actively growing. Give them a regular feed using your preferred organic, natural or synthetic fertiliser. Strong, well-fed plants are better equipped to keep growing and cope with pests and disease.
🫐 Feed your fruit and flowers:
Now is a good time to give fruit trees, berry bushes, roses and perennials a good feed to support fresh growth and flowering. These generally only need feeding a few times a year. Flowing plants can benefit from feeding every 4-6 weeks while actively growing.
Keep on top of the weeds:
Don’t let the weeds get away from you! Tackling a small patch regularly makes the job much easier. Adding mulch will also help supress new weeds and keep moisture in the soil as summer approaches.
🔍 Inspect:
Slugs, snails and white butterflies are on the move! Check your plants often and deal with problems before they get out of hand. Mesh can help protect brassicas, while b**r traps or slug bait can help guard vulnerable seedlings.
🔂 Then repeat, for the foreseeable future!
