As we hit late August, soil temperatures in Canterbury are slowly starting to wake up! Here is your quick end-of-winter checklist:

🍋 Citrus Trees: Hold off on heavy feeding until spring temperatures truly kick in next month to avoid forcing delicate leaf growth into a late frost. In the meantime, keep roots protected with a thick layer of Pea Straw ($13/bale at the yard!) or hit them with a root-strengthening seaw**d tonic.

🌱 Winter Lawns: Clear away those remaining wet leaves blocking sunlight and apply a slow-release winter lawn feed to build root strength without causing weak, rapid leaf growth.

While you shouldn't use traditional citrus fertilisers or blood-and-bone in winter, you can apply a seaw**d tonic like Tui Seaw**d Plant Tonic ✅

Seaw**d tonic is a root conditioner, not a heavy fertiliser. It won't push soft leaf growth, but it will help stimulate root resilience, improve soil health, and help the tree handle cold temperatures and frost stress.

Winter routine: For your lawns, protect the soil structure by staying off the grass during heavy frosts to avoid compaction. Keep things tidy by raking up fallen leaves that block sunlight and cause fungal browning, and apply a slow-release winter lawn fertiliser to strengthen root networks without forcing weak, rapid leaf growth. Got garden cleanup waste? Bring your green waste down to our highly accessible weighbridge via Hayton Road or 4 Parkhouse Road for competitive, hassle-free disposal rates.

Protect your garden investment from severe Canterbury frosts. Right now is the perfect time to place Pea Straw around your garden beds for only $13 per bale. Pea straw acts as a brilliant natural mulch, trapping essential moisture, adding vital organic matter, and improving soil conditions over winter. We also offer a diverse range of premium bark options designed for superior w**d suppression and a clean, uniform aesthetic. Don't forget to pair your mulch with quality frost cloth to guard delicate plants—just remember to prop the cloth up so it doesn’t directly touch the leaves!

Pea straw (Peastraw) is ideal as a mulch around gardens and helps to hold moisture in the soil. It is also perfect for ground cover, adding organic matter, and improving soil conditions. Pea straw is a very popular mulch for strawberries. Hire a trailer or purchase a tarp to save mess!
