22.01.2022 Hedges in all their different forms, sizes and textures add depth, privacy and shelter to any garden. They may also add a formal element and help unify the garden. Timing of pruning depends on the variety of plant. You may prune after flowering, before the onset of new growth, or prune as required to shape and tidy. Some hedge plants only need annual pruning while others, which are faster growing, need to be pruned more often during their growing season. When pruning, always... use sharp tools and clean the blade with a damp cloth between hedges or plants to prevent the spread of disease. Lay down a tarp to catch prunings to make clean up easier. After pruning apply Seasol GOLD to the foliage and soil to help hedges recover after the stress of their ‘haircut’ and to encourage strong, healthy regrowth.

21.01.2022 Saving water is not only great for the environment, it can also help save time and money within the garden. Here are a few tips to help you save water when growing pot plants. Regularly apply a wetting agent such as Seasol Super Soil Wetter & Conditioner to the soil and activate by watering in well. Reapply throughout summer months. . Mulch large areas of bare soil with gravel or stones to reduce evaporation and moisture loss.... When hand watering plants apply water slowly, so it has a chance to soak through to the plant's roots rather than running down the inside of the pot and out through the drainage hole. See more

21.01.2022 Its Spud timeand Better Homes and Gardens Presenter @bhgaus Melissa King @melissakinginthegarden has all the tips to get you growing your own gourmet home-grown potatoes. I love growing potatoes because nothing beats homegrown flavour and I can experiment with unique varieties that bring something different to the garden and plate. For something different try growing Royal Blue potatoes which have beautiful royal blue skin. The skin colour turns golden brown when you make it into chips, but its also delicious roasted or made into a creamy yellow mash. Dutch cream is another top choice for mashing, with lovely creamy flesh. Or you might like to grow beloved Maris Piper spuds. Both Jamie Oliver and Heston reckon this classic UK potato is one of the best for making chips and roasted potatoes.

19.01.2022 Did you know that weight for weight capsicums contain more vitamin C than oranges? Get seedlings in the ground now and you’ll be enjoying fresh crunchy capsicums in a rainbow of colours all summer long. For high yields of colourful fruit try ‘Sweet Red’, a tasty, compact variety that’s perfect for pots. Or add a splash of gold to your salads with ‘Long Sweet Yellow, which produces high yields of long golden fruit. We also love the new variety ‘Candy Stripe’ with variegated foliage and colourful striped fruit that looks as good in the garden as it does in your salads.
19.01.2022 Take advantage of the September rains and apply granular fertilisers around the whole garden. They slowly release nutrients over the next few months to gradually feed plant roots. Try PowerFeed Controlled Release Plant Food Range; there is a specific range for every plant type: 1. All Purpose including Natives 2. Tomatoes & Vegetables... 3. Flowers, Fruit & Citrus 4. Pots and Planters for Indoors and Outdoors TIP: Simply mix PowerFeed into the topsoil or potting mix at the start of the growing season and water it in thoroughly after application.

18.01.2022 Its blossom season and Gardening Expert Melissa King @melissakinginthegarden @bhgaus is giving us a rundown of her top trees for stunning spring flowers. 1. Its hard to beat Cercis Forest Pansy for its spectacular blossoms. The display is fleeting, but I look forward to it every year. The rosy-pink pea-shaped blooms on bare branches are a wonderful sight. 2. Crab Apples put on some of the best spring blossom displays you will ever see. One of my favourites is Malus spe...ctabilis, with red buds that open to single pink flowers. Youll also love Malus ionensis 'Plena', with beautiful double pink blooms. 3. Flowering Cherries are magnificent in bloom, with stunning pink or white flowers. Look out for weeping forms with pendulous branches, which are an elegant addition to a small garden. I love Prunus Snow Fountains which is absolutely smothered in pretty single white flowers.

18.01.2022 There is no finer sight than a beautiful, well-maintained lawn. If you are putting in a lawn for the first time, you have two choices: staring with turf or seed. Prepare the soil well before laying turf or sowing seed following the instructions provided by the turf supplier or on the seed box. Once you have finished laying turf or sowing seed, water thoroughly. Make sure the turf is in good contact with the soil. If possible, use a lawn roller to get rid of any air pockets in... the turf. For good growth, give the lawn area a good dose of Seasol Lawn & Turf Starter to help develop a strong root system and aid overall lawn health. Apply every 7 to 10 days during the first five weeks of growth. For more information, check out https://www.seasol.com.au//p/seasol-lawn-and-turf-starter/

11.01.2022 Springs arrived and its a great time to get cracking in the garden. Here are three jobs to get you started. 1. Hang yellow sticky bug traps in the vegie garden. These small plastic strips are a very effective way of controlling whitefly and thrips. To stop non-pests from getting trapped, hang the trap inside a cage such as a birdcage. 2. Treat the garden with a wetting agent such as Seasol Super Soil Wetter & Conditioner before temperatures start to warm up to help conser...ve soil moisture and overcome any water repellency thats developed. 3. Grab the secateurs or hedge shears. Plants are actively growing and hedges such as Japanese box, rosemary and lillypilly can be trimmed as they develop their soft new growth. A very light prune now and again in October will ensure they stay bushy right through the year. Before you start pruning, check there are no bird nests in hedges! Happy Gardening!
11.01.2022 There are many benefits to be had from growing vegies in pots over spring and summer. For a start, they look good and, in the right pot, add a decorative feature to the garden or entertaining area. If the pots are not too heavy, they can be moved around to catch the sun. As there’s no heavy digging or turning of soil, containers are also easy to plant and manage. They are also easy to water especially during times of water restrictions. Most vegies can be grown in containers.... The trick is to know how large they will grow, to ensure the pot is big enough for the mature plant. If you have never grown vegies in pots before start with easy leafy greens such as soft-hearted lettuce or herbs such as basil. Also good in pots over summer are compact tomatoes and chillies. TIP: Apply Seasol and PowerFeed every two weeks keeps vegies healthy and growing strongly.
11.01.2022 Check out the Grow It Local festival. This Sunday its composting with Costa. Details below.

09.01.2022 Have some fun in the garden and teach your kids how plants grow in pots from seed. Select easy vegetable crops such as lettuce, radishes, herbs or microgreens and watch your kids eyes light up as they harvest and taste their first produce. Heres a couple of tips to get you started. Use a plastic or clay pot or any container such as old ice cream, juice, or milk container. Put a couple of holes in the bottom of the container for the water to drain through.... Fill up the container with seed raising or potting mix. Sow the seeds following the directions on the pack for planting depth and spacing. Water the seeds in with Seasol (mix 30mL of Seasol concentrate per 9 litres of water). Position your seedling pot on a sunny windowsill or out in the garden in a sunny position. Water gently but regularly so they dont dry out. Happy harvest and post us some photos of your crop.
09.01.2022 With the official start of summer only two days away it critical to ensure that any water you apply to your garden or lawn gets down to where it’s needed the root system. If you have noticed water is pooling on top or running off the soil, then it could be hydrophobic repelling water. If your soil is behaving this way it may be a sign that you need a wetting agent such as Seasol Super Soil Wetter & Conditioner. It’s a soil wetter, soil conditioner and plant health treatment in one. For more information, please visit https://www.seasol.com.au//seasol-super-soil-wetter-condi/

07.01.2022 In the world of succulents and cacti, dont overwater these tough, hardy plants is the key to their success. All over the world plant breeders have risen to the challenge of producing plants of outstanding quality and incredible interest. Succulents and cacti are a perfect choice, not only do they look good they thrive on minimal care. Top tips to thriving succulents and cacti: Lift pots up off the ground so the water goes straight through the soil and dont put a saucer u...nder the pot as they can rot very easily. Understand if the variety is one that will tolerate full sun or does it require a part shaded position. Fertilise with controlled release fertiliser at the beginning of every season with PowerFeed Controlled Release Plant Food Pots & Planters. Always pot up with a specialist cacti and succulent potting mix. See more

07.01.2022 It’s #tomatoseason and Better Homes and Gardens Presenter @bhgaus Melissa King @melissakinginthegarden is sharing her pick of tasty varieties. I always look forward to the challenge of growing and harvesting a delicious crop of home grown tomatoes. Get your tomato plants into the garden now and you’ll be harvesting a bumper crop for everything from garden fresh bruschetta to heirloom tomato salad. Among the newer types, look out for Tomato ‘Candyland’, with long trusses of... lolly-sweet fruit or ‘Cherry fountain’, a beautiful trailing variety with masses of tasty tomatoes that you can pop into your mouth whole. For something different, look out for heirloom tomatoes in a kaleidoscope of colours, which are guaranteed to bring colour to your garden and plate. I love ‘Green Zebra’ with decorative green striped fruit that have a tasty zing. You’ll also love ‘Tommy Toe’, which produces larger cherry style tomatoes that taste so good you’ll be munching on them straight from the vine. For something, big, meaty and extra tasty try growing ‘Mortgage Lifter’ Where space is limited, try compact growing or cascading varieties like ‘Tumbling Red’ which are tailor-made for pots and hanging baskets.

06.01.2022 Radishes grow year-round but are most successful in cold areas sown from spring to autumn. Start from seed sown directly in the garden or a pot. Radishes take from six to eight weeks from sowing to harvesting. There is an amazing range of radish varieties to plant at this time of the year. A must in any garden try Scarlet Globe, a round, brilliant crimson variety with white, delicately flavoured flesh. It stays crisp and fresh over long periods. For an old favourite try S...parkler this reliable globe variety has an attractive bright red colour with a white tip. It produces a high yield with a very crisp texture and peppery flavour. To get the kid's interested try Easter Egg Mix, red, purple, pink and white radishes. It has round, delicious roots and is quick and easy to grow. Tip: Use radishes as a fast-growing crop between slower growing vegetables. Varieties and photo Mr Fothergill's seeds

03.01.2022 Winter and spring flowering bulbs like daffodils, jonquils and snowdrops are a real highlight in the garden at this time of year, bursting into bloom just when you and the garden really need a colour lift. So keep the flowers coming with regular doses of PowerFeed. Simply mix 30mL of PowerFeed for Flowers, Fruit & Citrus into 9 litres of water and apply it every 2-4 weeks until your bulbs finish flowering to promote a stunning display of blooms. Remember to allow the foliage to die down naturally.

01.01.2022 If your lawnmower has been in the shed over winter, now is the time to do some lawn mower maintenance to get it ready for its spring workout. Here are a few simple checks, but for a thorough check, take it to your local hardware or lawn mower centre. 1 Safety first: insure your lawnmower is turned off before starting. 2 Start by removing any debris including grass in the catcher, then give it a good clean using rags and a soft bristle brush. 3 Apply a lubricant such... as WD-40 to moving parts including wheels, throttle cable and height adjuster. 4 Check mower blades (are they sharp or blunt and damaged) and replace if needed. 5 Check the spark plug, air filter and oil. 6 Replace any old fuel left in the mower. Happy mowing!
01.01.2022 There are many native plants, that in their own habitat are considered rare and endangered. Home gardeners play a vital role in the cultivation of certain Australian plant species. Next time you visit your local Australian plants specialist be sure to collect a rare species to take home to care for. Often the rare species are not too hard to grow, often they are facing extinction in their native habitat due to habitat destruction. Eremophila nivea is a classic example, this hardy native is grown widely for its outstanding silver foliage and mauve flowers yet is considered rare in its native habitat. Perfectly suited to an open sunny position this Silky Eremophila will grow successfully in many different soil types once established.
