General garden maintenance
Bird
feed
Remember
the birds this autumn and winter, and make sure you put food and water out every
day. We have a huge selection of feeders, tables and food – everything you’ll
need to keep our feathered friends happy and healthy.
Pest watch
Although
most pests and diseases are less active in autumn and winter, be vigilant for
problems, and deal with them as soon as they’re seen. Houseplants and plants
overwintered in greenhouses
and frames are especially susceptible to pests but can be quickly helped with a
pesticide spray.
Maintaining
a high humidity around most foliage houseplants, especially those in
centrally-heated houses, will help keep them strong and healthy and help reduce
red spider mite attacks. The reverse is true in greenhouses and frames where
high humidity can lead to problems with mould and other diseases.
Greenhouse
products
Make sure
your greenhouse and frames are ready for winter so that you can move your
tender plants into them as soon as warnings of frosts are heard. We have a wide
range of essential products including heaters, thermometers, bubble wrap and
fleece.
Composting
Don’t throw away
your spent bedding plants, kitchen waste and other plant material – turn them
into valuable compost for improving your soil and mulching your beds. Fallen
tree leaves can be turned into leafmould, which makes the perfect soil improver
and mulch for rhododendrons, azaleas and other woodland plants. Making good
compost and leafmould is easy with our wide range of compost bins, compost and
leafmould accelerators, leaf rakes and collectors. Just ask our helpful staff
if you need any assistance with successful composting.
