summer in your garden

SEASONS : Autumn | Winter | Spring | Summer

As Summer approaches wetting agents should be applied to lawns and gardens to maximise water use.

Irrigation systems should be checked for leaks or malfunction and controllers adjusted for Summer weather conditions.

The best time to scarify couch lawns is at the end of spring early summer when grass has stored enough root energy for fast recovery.

Rose bushes and citrus trees being heavy feeders will require a second fertilising in summer to aid the production of new blooms and fruit.
