APRIL
What should I be doing in my garden now?
It’s tree planting time while the soil is still warm.
It is a busy month in the garden. There is always
something to keep you busy, whether it be
planting bulbs, just tiding up or pruning hedges.
Mulch, is a garden's best friend. Spread thick layers
of compost or bark chips around trees and
perennials, as this will suppress weeds, and protect
the roots in the cooler months ahead. Don't
worry to dig the mulch in, let the worms do it for you.
Evergreens are the back bone of the garden,
providing year round interest, so the more ever-
greens, the better your garden will look though-
out winter.
Fertilize flower beds with 3.1.5 every 4-6 weeks and
indoor plants and container plants should get a dose
of water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks.
Dates to remember;
