Yates Garden Centre Mazeggas
Episode: #18 18/8/07
Presenter: Sue
If you are planning to get stuck in the garden this weekend and finish a few of those jobs you have been putting off for ages, there are a few must haves that you will need from the garden centre, that will help you to make your garden look gorgeous with minimal effort.
The lawn can do with a good application of lawn fertiliser, any plants in pots will also benefit from some Pot and Garden Fertiliser sprinkled around them and if the roses get some Sulphate of Potash they will reward you with the best flowers in the next few weeks and will also thicken their cells so they have good disease resistance and you know what that means - no black spot.
Visiting the garden centre gives you a good excuse to see the latest in garden accessories, pots and outdoor living furniture and Mazzegas Mitre 10 in Kelmscott has something to suit your garden style. Whether your garden has a rustic, natural theme or a formal style there is something for everyone.
Sue personally loves the aged look of garden art and statues and if you have a statue that looks too new and very out of place, all you need to do is paint it with natural yoghurt and it speeds up the aging process. Very soon you will have your very own genuine copy antique statue or pot.
Plants make great gifts and with Fathers Day just around the corner, forget the cordless drill or router and head straight for the plants. English Lilac it looks brilliant in large containers. Make sure the graph is below the soil surface by about 10cm this ensures that the dies out, but the plant sends out roots and beautiful bushy shoots from the top part of the plants. You will be rewarded by beautiful sweetly perfumed flowers. To add just a little bit of colour this time of year, why not fill the top of the pot up with some polyanthus!
There are so many small gardening tips that will help you save every drop of water. For example, you can mass plant garden beds. If you can place plants close together, as they grow up it shades the soil from the sun therefore reducing evaporation and keeping the moisture in the soil.
The team at Mazzegas can advise you on saving water, garden design and just as importantly advice on installing and maintaining your reticulation system. It is a proven fact that a quality reticulation system with drippers will use less water than if you hand watered your garden.
Getting out of a garden centre without buying anything is impossible for many, so if you are not fond of the idea of driving home loaded up with all your new treasures, you can organise to have it delivered just ask the team for more details.
If you want more water saving tips or garden advice why not join the Garden Gurus Garden Club where you can get your gardening questions answered by the Gurus. Join up this month, name 2 of The Garden Gurus presenters and go into the draw to win a Fiskars garden tool hamper valued at over $200
