After a long productive summer, the key to success is to refresh and improve the soil before planting new crops.
Dig in plenty of organics, like well-rotted compost, sprinkle over some Yates Dynamic Lifter then mix it all in well, forking it over till it’s fine and crumbly. Rake over the surface, water well and it’s ready for planting.
Autumn’s a busy season in the vegetable garden. Summer crops are fading and it’s time to prepare for cooler weather. Here are some timely tips for the autumn vegie patch:
Feed vegies regularly during the growing season using Yates Thrive Fish Blood & Bone Plant Food. It feeds through both the roots and the leaves as you water and encourages healthy green foliage and a strong root system. So start fertilising early, to ensure a great crop and improved yields.
Check the seed packs for recommended spacings, and stagger plantings over several weeks to extend your harvest.
Dewy nights and cooler conditions also means snails and slugs are about, so protect young plants using Yates Blitzem.
