- Keep on feeding your winter veggies, but make sure the beds are damp before you feed them. Margaret Roberts Organic Supercharger is a safe liquid fertiliser.
- Make sure that sweet peas are given plenty of support and mulch them well to keep their roots moist. Spray with Ludwig’s Insect Spray to keep the aphids at bay and add in Coppercount N mixed with Ludwig’s Spray Stay to prevent fungus disease.
- Check out the Tie-D range of plant ties for tying up plants that need to be supported.
- If pansy leaves have become very thick and leathery feed them with the trace element, Boron. Some sources include Trelmix, Nitrosol, and MultiFeed.
- Before putting away your lawn mower for winter give it a thorough clean and take it off to the lawnmower specialists for a general overhaul and to have the blades sharpened. Ask them to sharpen your secateurs, long handled loppers and hedge clippers as well.
