Weekly Tip:

Pelargoniums -
This lovely category of plant can sometimes be confused with and mistaken for geraniums.

So where to plants Pelargoniums?
Not sure?

Just read below:

All Pelargoniums prefer to be in an open, well drained location if planted directly into the garden.
In addition, most would be very healthy and happy to have some shade during your hot summers. So be particular where you plant your Pelargoniums.

Heavy clay soil?
No worries just ensure you treat the soil with some gypsum and some Perlite to assist with aeration.
However do not add too much gypsum to the soil.
To neutralise the pH level of the soil add a generous handful of dolomite. This will provide magnesium for the nutrition uptake for your Pelargoniums. Pelargoniums love a neutral soil pH.
Do not forgot though to use high-grade potting mix, slow-release fertilisers and wetting agents to accommodate the full growth of your Pelargoniums.

Weekly tip:

Repotting plants-

Sick of constantly re-potting big plants in big heavy pots?
No worries we can help. We can re-pot for you to save you the hard work. However alternatively, we can sell a product to you that will recharge and renew the nutrients in the soil for both, gardens and pot plants. It is the ultimatum of plant boosters, the product we sell not only recharges and renews the soil but also feeds the soil and plants within the gardens or pots. Just applying once can last for 6 months and its so much easier you just sprinkle, water in and watch your plants progressively growing and staying healthy without needing to put too much hard work and time. It is quick and simple and you won't need to think of re-potting or reapplying till 6 months in future.

Weekly Tip:

How to care for your lawn.

For a wonderful green and soft lawn, it will need fertilising. Lawns don’t need a lot of fertilising at any one time; they just need a small amount of fertiliser on a regular basis. However, with most lawn food products out on the market you would be fertilising every couple of weeks and this can be inconvenient and labour intensive.

The main problem with these products are that the results are instant release, which means not only will your grass grow fast but you will be needing to mow the lawn that week. A problem with most of these products and the processes that it inccurs is; as soon as you have mowed it in that first week of lawn boosting you will have removed most of the nutrients and diminish the growth of your lawn from then on.

I can not only cut your grass for you but I will be able to sell you the best lawn fertiliser on the market that will feed steadily for up to four months. If inquired I can also quote to spread the fertiliser myself around your premise for a low price. This Lawn booster is a new controlled release fertiliser that will give instant results and produce steady, strong growth for three to four months after application. This means beautiful soft growth, infrequent mowing and less w**ds. This is what the professionals use on sports grounds, golf tees, fairways and parks.

To achieve a beautiful lawn this year, buy and apply or use our services to spread this lawn booster in spring, then again in summer, followed up by an application in autumn before next winter. It is as easy as that. You will not need to reapply every 3 to 4 weeks to keep your lawn green.

Ask or inquire over the phone about our services and this product that we also sell.

Have A Great Day!

Tip of the Week!

How are your Lawns?

The recent heat waves may have effected the look of your grass but not to worry. As winter approaches we will see a lot cooler weather and hopefully some more rain! When winter comes and your cool months if your grass is lovely and green and you have the occasional dead spot of grass you may have an unwanted guest in your lawn! You might have lawn grubs if your finding these sudden death patches in your lawn.
However, be careful if you leave these sudden dead patches for too long! Lawn grubs can destroy entire lawns within weeks! The major signs your looking for is circular patches of grass turning to brown or yellow and if you find random loose grass around the place and you haven't mowed recently you might want to check it out.
One of the main and accurate ways to finding out if you have lawn grubs is to place a wet cloth on the suspicious part of your lawn, leave it over night and check in the morning if grubs have come up to the cloth.
The culprits you will most likely find is your: White curl grub and your Armyworm caterpillar.
In order to resolve and get rid of your wanted guests in your lawn apply your Lawn Grub Killer concentrates, or granules (with granules you will need to water it in to render it effective). For the most effective, best results and higher percentage of annihilation of your lawn grubs apply the concentrates or granules late in the evening!
Thank you for reading another weekly tip!
Enjoy the rest of your week!

How to kill those w**ds BETTER:

In order to increase the effectiveness of your herbicide w**d killers is to add a wetting agent to your spray. What I would absolutely recommend is the product Spredmax, which you can order from Craig's Home Hardware and Timber.

Spredmax is a concentrated spreader wetting agent used to maximise spray application. Spredmax helps improve the spray solution ability to stick to leaves, which is important for plants with waxy leaves, or those that are hard to wet.

This is particularly important for grasses and w**ds. Most herbicides kill w**ds via direct contact and Spredmax maximises spray contact by preventing spray droplets from beading on the leave surface, thus improving spray efficiency and saving cost.

Spreadmax is ideal for adding to prepared solutions such as, fungicides, pesticides and herbicides. In addition, it may also be used to improve foliar applications of soluble and liquid fertilisers!

Call us today at Better Grass and Gardens so we can get you lawns w**d free!
