Seasonal Tips
Garden Tips for May Autumn is the time to fertilize your warm season lawns. This will help to keep them greener during winter. Now that the summer heat has passed it is a good time to lay turf or repair your tired lawn. Install a rainwater tank so you will be ready to catch the winter rains Feed winter and spring flowering annuals. Propagate box hedges by taking semi-hardwood cuttings. By tearing cuttings from the parent plant you can obtain an extended heel and this assists in getting strike. Use Propagation Mix to get the cuttings started. Bottom heat and the use of rooting hormones will assist in root development. By producing large numbers of young plants, you can establish box hedges and topiary very easily. Sow peas and beans directly into the garden for spring crops. In acid soils apply lime and in all soils fertilise the ground well a couple of weeks prior to planting. Once the young seedlings show, water regularly. Citrus trees, and trees in general, really like to be planted in Autumn because it means they usually receive a good mix of sun and rain so that they can really develop their root systems, then get the rains of winter before they have to cope with the hot sun of spring and summer. |
