25.01.2022 Foliar feeding your lawn (liquid application to the leaf) is more effective and environmentally friendly in winter when the transfer of nutrients from soil to plant slows down. Throughout winter we recommend applying Baileys GT Green Plus liquid fertiliser every 4-8 weeks to maintain turf colour and health.

New shoots then grow in spring.

23.01.2022 PLANT NOW - ASPARAGUS Imagine planting once, then receiving a crop for the next 15-20 years!

23.01.2022 WHEN TO PRUNE NATIVES Although it might be time to prune most deciduous fruit trees, roses, grape vines and ornamentals, delay pruning natives till the end of winter to early spring, or after flowering has finished. Set a reminder in your phone or calendar, as pruning at the right time of year is one of the most important jobs you can do in your garden. Itll help control pests and diseases, will produce healthy, vigorous new growth, and is the time to sculpt you plants into the shape you want

21.01.2022 Baileys formulated Soil Matters Clay & Compost to addresses the challenges our unique soils present to WA gardeners. The texture of a soil is a property determined largely by the proportions of sand, silt and clay it contains. The ideal soil is considered to be a loam, which contain a greater balance of these three materials. Our gardens have no shortage of sand, it's the content of clay and silt we need to add to move towards this ideal soil type. Sandy soils also have low ...levels of humus, or organic matter - the carbon source for soil life. By adding organic matter in the form of compost, we introduce a source of food and homes for soil microbes, and fungi. Adding a mere 1% of humus to the soil also increases moisture-holding by as much as 17L per square metre! A massive result in our dry climate.

13.01.2022 If your couch or kikuyu lawn feels spongy to walk on, it likely has a thatch build up and October is the month to give it a hard mow or scalping to remove this layer. Lower the mower for each cut across the entire area until all signs of green growth are removed and the lawn is brown. Remember to mow with a catcher and make sure all grass clippings are removed. It's important to then water well, apply a wetting agent and lawn fertiliser to promote a quick recovery.

13.01.2022 COMPACTION & AERATION Compacted soils produces poor quality turf and Spring is the time to address and prevent, much like the professionals do. Below is an example of aeration on a commercial scale at a WA golf course. The green has been vertimowed to remove built up of thatch, then to alleviate compaction, improve soil structure and root growth, holes are punched into the surface using a verti-drain machine fitted with 8mm solid tines.... This is common practice on golf courses around the world to improve the greens surface and playability year round. Other benefits include the penetration of air, water and nutrients into the root zone and release of gases that cause anaerobic soils. A final application of Brilliance Mini and Liquid Grosorb provides the necessary nutrients and wetting agent to assist with optimal growth and root development.
