Summer Watering
We've forgotten just how much water our plants need after the last few 'wet' summers. It's vital that all your newly planted shrubs, trees, herbaceous plants and summer bedding plants are watered every day - even if it rains. Make sure that the root ball of your new plants stay wet until they root into your soil. Summer Baskets and tubs need water daily too, and baskets twice a day in the hottest weather. Hozelock micro irrigation watering systems are brilliant at watering for you even when you're on holiday. The starter pack including an automatic timer is available on special offer at the moment for £49.99 (normally £69.99). Once fitted you will wonder how you ever managed without it! Many compost types, such as Miracle Gro Moisture Control Compost includes a water holding agent that helps the compost from becoming 'bone dry'. This means that plants have a constant water supply and plenty of food. Dry hanging baskets are also always starved of food too, as plant food is absorbed in the water - so keep them wet and watered! If you don't have this compost, you can add the water retaining granules yourself, offered presently at half price.
Summer Feeding
Plants need food just like you and me. Spring flowering hardy plants growing in the ground such as Rhododendrons, Azaleas, Camellias and all fruit trees benefit from a feed of rose food NOW! Yes, Rose food! Rose food is high in potash which promotes flowers. All these spring flowering, hardy plants form flower buds in summer and the rose food gives you more flowers. Tomatoes need tomato food for the best results and we recommend Tomorite. Tomato food gives balance to promote plant growth and produce fruit. General feeds just won't do this. Baskets and tubs need high potash feeds too. The easiest feed is Miracle Gro Controlled 'Tablets'. You just need to push the tablets into the compost and they will feed your plants all summer. You only need to keep watering them.
Outdoor Living
Summer should mean long warm evenings with friends and family on the decking or patio. If the summer continues as it's started, then we're all in for a treat! Solar lights have improved recently due to better solar panels which are more suited to northern Europe. Solar lights add a lovely atmosphere to any garden, and we have new solar strings, lanterns and table top decorative balls, all of which combine to give a relaxing feel. We've become big fans of Dancook BBQs over the last two years. Made in Denmark, these BBQs are made of stainless steel and aluminium for a very long life, designed with a clever liner system for easy cleaning they also cook great outdoor food! Take advantage of a FREE charcoal and lighter fluid when you buy any Dancook Kettle BBQ during July.
