September Update

Welcome to Spring and Level 3 !

Its been a long time in a) Winter & b) Level 4 ,now we are in level 3 I bet a few treats have been had -Take out coffee + goodies from local cafe in my case . Well come spring its time to treat your garden as well and I always start from the bottom up – SOIL ,well prepared soil is the foundation of your entire garden/lawn . Gardening does not start with a seed in the ground ,it starts with rich soft soil that allows the roots to grow deep enough to soak up nutrients .

3 easy steps to Spring Soil Prep

1. Clear out Weeds – either pull them out or remove with a hoe. Don’t dig up the soil this will just bring new weed seeds to the surface – the idea is to just remove those that are already at the top. Of course those weeds are easily disposed of in one of our  GREENIE GARDEN BINS
2. Loosen the Soil -If its your very first garden, loosen soil to a depth of at least 20-25cm so that roots can reach down .
3. Add Organic Matter – Spring is the ideal time to add organic matter such as compost. add on a day when the soil is moist but not wet .

Now you and your soil is ready for that contactless trip to the Garden Centre for some plants

Happy Gardening
