Pest Watch
Be vigilant. Pests are out in full force now and caterpillars are making the most of organic crops. Spray with Dipel or protect crops with exclusion netting.
Water wisely
Our land of droughts and flooding rains has never been more true than this year. Concentrate watering on new plants, vegetable and fruiting crops. Water spikes can help to direct water where it is needed most.
Plan your autumn vegie patch
As summer crops come to an end, it’s time to plan your autumn vegie garden. Compost green waste from summer crops past their best and improve soil with rockdust, biochar and composted manure, ready for planting next month.
