Holiday gardening

There's no doubt that in many parts of Australia, it's been a bit of a tumultuous year weather-wise. When managing your garden through unpredictable weather, there are some staples that you won't want to skip. As we gear up for the holiday season, here's how to best keep your grass green and flowers blooming even when you're on vacation or spending a lot of time out and about.

POTTED GARDENS

Protect your pot plants while you are away this summer. A small amount of Richgro Water Storage Crystals applied to each pot will help keep your plants watered and fed for up to three weeks so you can enjoy your well-deserved break.

Mulch the top of the pots. If you notice that soils are very dry and the water sits on top rather than draining into the soil, apply Ezi-Wet soil wetterit helps the water soak in.
