GARDENING: Diacks Newsletter 12th February

WHATS HAPPENING

Welcome to all the bikers from around NZ to the Burt Munro weekend.

What a great sound of all the bikes getting about town and heading out to surrounding districts.

Wednesday night and Thursday was a bit dismal weather wise but its onwards and upwards from here.

Great sunny day today just in time for the drags and the beach racing!!!! 


February is a good month to treat grass grub in lawns.

After a dry spell the lawn will show dry areas where the grass grub have attacked the roots.

Treat with lawnguard or neem granules (Organic).

Sprinkle over the affected area.

Just watch the birds as they know where they are.



NEW this week are pots & troughs.

A really good selection of colours.

Black, white, green, grey, & some with a metallic look.

It is quite a while since we have had any new pots in stock so it's all quite exciting!!

Come on in and have a wee look.

BEST PLANTS are Lavenders.

We have a good crop of approx 7 different varieties all in bud and about to flower.

They make good hedging in a dry situation.


Geraniums are on special at the moment..

ONLY $5.00 each.

These make great colour for pots in sunny areas.


Callunas & Ericas are in bud and will flower over the winter.

These are small hardy evergreens that are great as a groundcover..


The last of the summer annuals are out for sale.

There are still some good Petunias, Marigolds & Lobelia for colour in your borders & baskets before winter.

Plenty of Begonias in flower and looking pretty good.. 




Another batch of vege plants and herbs have been brought to the shop.

This is about your last chance to plant winter crops.

Planted out before the end of February will give you a crop over the winter months although some late cauliflowers will go into spring!! 


Cirtus trees are in at the moment and looking very good

We also have Soem organic lemons out for sale at $6.99 per kg.


Last week was such a great warm dry week!!

We screened many many metres of topsoil so we have it all back in stock for now!!!

 

WHAT YOU SHOULD BE DOING

Weeding, watering and harvesting at the moment.

Tomatoes are ripening fast & potatoes need dug.

Best to get his done while it is dry.

We have a wee few Agria spuds left if you want to put some in the tunnelhouse...

PRODUCT

DeGranules

Diatomaceous Earth Soil Conditioner  

 Made from primarily pure silica.

Fresh water, organic, non-toxic and environmentally friendly, the porous structure of the diatoms supports its ability to draw water and to move water and nutrients laterally through the growing medium.

It is a durable granule improving drainage, oxygen access and gas exchange in a soil ( or medium ) but offers a very high CEC ( cation exchange capacity ).

 DeGranules provide a natural alternative to water crystals, releasing water back into the soil when required.

 The soluble silica supports a high level of resistance to disease and can act as an insect and pest control.

 DeGranules also help activate, fortify and revitalise the soil, resulting in much healthier plants. 


PET
