Hints & tips for outdoor living

Herbs

If you love cooking indoors or are spending the long, sunny days and evenings barbecuing, then you’ll appreciate having plenty of herbs. 

If you don’t have room in the rest of the garden, then plant up a herb pot with all your culinary favourites so they’re easily to hand when you need them. From basil, mint, parsley and rosemary to sage and thyme we have all the herbs you’ll need for a pot pourri of scents and tastes.

Lawns

If your lawn is looking tired and run down, give it a boost now with a liquid feed. Where weeds or moss are a problem use a liquid feed, weed and moss killer. Keep mowing regularly when the grass is growing to ensure it looks its best. You can leave small clippings on the lawn as they will help conserve soil moisture. But when a good soak is needed – lawns use around four gallons of water per square yard per week – use a lawn sprinkler set on a timer to avoid wasting water and making your water bill shoot up. We have a wide range of products to help keep your lawn green and healthy – pop in for some advice from our expert, friendly staff.

Outdoor living

Gardens are for enjoying – and the summer is the best time to do it. So make sure you sit back, relax and enjoy your garden this year from the comfort of your own garden furniture. Alternatively, entertain friends and family with a slap-up barbecue. If you plan to stay out late add some easy to install garden lighting. We have everything you need and plenty of ideas to ensure you get the most enjoyment from your garden this summer – just ask, we’re here to help.
