You might think your garden doesn’t require much TLC in summer, but this is, in fact, the time to help plants deal with summer stress, keep them healthy and prepare your garden for future planting. Start with these five fertilising tasks:
- Support evergreen vegetables
Monthly feeding keeps evergreen vegetables strong and productive. Slow-release organic fertilisers are gentle yet effective for consistent nourishment.
- Prepare beds for future planting
Get your soil ready for the next planting season by mixing in some old compost and an organic fertiliser to enrich your vegetable beds and give your plants the best start. Don’t forget to prep bulb beds and strawberry patches too.
- Establish seedlings
Once your seedlings are in the ground, feed them to ensure they develop strong roots and a resilient structure.
- Rejuvenate tired shrubs
Signs of stress in shrubs include:
- Wilting leaves
- Yellowing or browning leaves
- Leaf drop
- Dry or cracked soil
Give your plants an immune boost with a good-quality, slow-release fertiliser to give them the nutrients they need to look their best again.
- Fruit tree maintenance
Citrus trees require consistent nutrients to support fruit development, especially during the extended summer heat. Choose a balanced, slow-release nutrient supply that strengthens roots, promotes healthy foliage, and enhances fruit quality.
