🍂 May is here — time to get your garden winter‑ready, TK!
If you’re tidying up the yard, planting winter veg, or giving the lawn some love, here’s what the experts recommend — and yes, we’ve got the gear to help you do it.
🌱 Protect your plants from frost
Frost can knock out the last of your warm‑weather crops — grab frost cloth and keep it handy.
🍁 Refresh your mulch
A fresh layer helps stop soil compaction and keeps nutrients locked in. We’ve got mulch, compost, and soil mixes ready to go.
🌿 W**d control before winter
W**ds take off in autumn — stay ahead with our w**d sprays and garden tools.
🥦 Last call for winter veg
It’s the final chance to sow beetroot, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, fennel, silverbeet, swede, and turnips before the soil gets too cold. We stock seeds, seed‑raising mix, and potting supplies.
🧄 Time to plant garlic
Plant early to reduce the risk of rust — we’ve got compost, and garden tools.
🍊 Feed your citrus
Citrus trees are “hungry, hungry plants” — pick up citrus fertiliser to keep them powering through winter.
🌸 Brighten things up with winter colour
Pansies, primulas, polyanthus — perfect for chasing away the winter gloom. We’ve got pots, mixes, and tools for planting.
🌾 Lawn care before the cold hits
Rake leaves to prevent smothering, drop your mower height a notch in wet weather, and repair bare patches while the soil is still warm.
We stock lawn seed, fertiliser, W**d’n’Feed, and repair packs.
