JOBS TO DO IN August
Prepare your garden for spring sowing
If you've got some space set aside for your spring vegie garden, now is the time to improve the soil and prepare for planting. Incorporate well-rotted manure and compost into the soil and a handful of blood and bone, rockdust and biochar to give your crops the best possible start.
Sow seeds in punnets now
Get a jump start on your spring sowing by starting some of your summer crops in punnets now. Tomatoes can be sown now ready for planting out after all likelihood of frost has passed. Other crops to start now include long season fruits like watermelon, rockmelon and pumpkins.
Fill your garden with flowers
As the weather starts to change it's time to prepare for planting in spring. Use this time to fill any gaps in your garden with spring and summer flowering perennials to ensure your garden is brimming with colour this Christmas. Many herbaceous perennials are available now and will rapidly increase in size once planted into your garden, creating an abundant display in just 12-14 weeks!
The Diggers Foundation
