BLOOM LANDSCAPES - TIPS |
1. For a chemical free alternative to killing unwanted weeds, try using boiling water from the kettle. |
| 2. By using a timber mulch as opposed to a bark mulch you will be adding organic matter to the soil. Bark mulches break down very slowly. |
| 3. Fertilisers with a hard coating work best in warmer temperatures. This is because the outside shell breaks down and releases the minerals the plant needs. |
| 4. Try laying a sheet of green shade cloth over shrubs or plants when you are expecting excessive temperatures through summer. |
| 5. Try putting camphor or moth balls in a tree or on ground level to keep possums and rats away. |
