Winter can be a quiet time in the garden as many plants are dormant …

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
- 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
- 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 .
- 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
