Every month, we will present tips on how to create a more beautiful garden - Monthly Necessities. These tips are simple, easy to follow and will bring that ‘added extra’ into your garden!
November Necessities
Mow your lawn regularly and feed every six weeks
Keep feeding your garden – never buy new plants without buying enough compost for them
Keep your topiaries in shape with regular pruning
Preserve the moisture in the soil with a thick organic mulch
Mulch your hydrangeas with compost, feed with a general fertilizer and water with a solution of iron chelate. Give plants with yellowing leaves a handful of Epson Salts
Return your cymbidium orchids to a shady place in the garden
Pot on or plant out azaleas which have finished flowering
Anthuriums also need repotting every year and then they will flower and last for many years. These plants are ideal for your living room, dining room and bathroom
Feed your camellias with high nitrogen fertilizer and water well
In areas where grass struggles to grow, reseed the area with a grass mix specially blended for shade such as Shade Over.
