Gardening Tips
Our range of liquid and granular fertilisers are the perfect way to get the best out of your garden.
Even though our range of products will greatly benefit your garden, getting the best out of your garden also requires some tips and tricks from our experts.
Fertilising
Apply fertiliser according to the specific needs of your plants. Some may require regular feeding, while others do well with less frequent fertilisation.
Consider using our GROEI fertilisers to provide a steady source of nutrients.
Weed Control
Keep up with regular weeding to prevent weeds from competing with your plants for nutrients and water.
Consider using mulch to suppress weeds and reduce the need for constant weeding.
Pruning & Deadheading
Prune your plants as needed to remove dead or diseased branches and promote healthy growth.
Deadhead (remove spent flowers) to encourage continued blooming and prevent the plant from putting energy into seed production.
Regular Watering
Water your plants consistently, taking into account their specific water needs. Use a drip irrigation system or a soaker hose to deliver water directly to the roots.
Adjust your watering schedule based on weather conditions. During hot and dry periods, you may need to water more frequently.
Pest & Disease Management
Regularly inspect your plants for signs of pests or diseases. Early detection is key to effective management.
Use natural or organic pest control methods whenever possible to minimise harm to beneficial insects and the environment.
Soil Health
Continue to monitor and improve your soil’s health. Add GROEI Gatskop to enhance soil fertility and structure.
Consider periodic soil testing to ensure your plants have the necessary nutrients.
Regular Cleanup
Remove fallen leaves, debris, and dead plant material from your garden beds to reduce the risk of disease and pests overwintering.
Seasonal Tasks
Adjust your maintenance tasks based on the season. For example, prepare your garden for winter by protecting sensitive plants and cleaning up the garden beds.
Observing & Learning
Pay close attention to your garden and learn from your experiences. Every garden is unique, and understanding the needs of your specific plants and local conditions is essential for successful maintenance.
By following these maintenance tips and staying attentive to your garden's needs, you can help ensure a healthy and vibrant garden year-round.
