Weed tips
- Sweep and clean paths, patios and drives so debris does not form a seed bed for weeds. Control weeds between pavers or on paths and driveways with Roundup Fast Action
Garden maintenance in February
- Continue treating weeds around the garden with Roundup.
- Some weeds are also hosts for insects that may decimate vegetables, so keep the vegie patch clear too
- Summer prune roses to encourage an autumnal flush of growth and blooms – cut lightly!
- Take semi-mature cuttings of evergreen shrubs – current season’s growth with a heel of older wood will strike best
- Harvest fruits and vegetables as they ripen – don’t allow them to over-ripen or rot as they may harbour pests and diseases
- After heavy spring and summer use, service your lawn mower (hose out underneath, sharpen and tighten or replace blades, change oil and spark plug) and clean all other tools
- Sow seeds of winter vegetables in seed trays and keep moist but not wet.
