Blooming In The Swelter

Here's how to get your blossoms to beat the heat!

15 January 2015

• Group plants with the same water needs.
• Work compost into the soil once or twice a year, supplement with organic fertilisers and alternate that with foliar feeds.
• Prune annually to keep everything under control.
• Control pests and diseases as naturally as possible: catch snails by hand, for instance!
• Water regularly – an automatic irrigation system is considered essential in hot summers.
• Divide your garden into various ‘rooms’ and ‘furnish’ them as you can afford to. That way you can sit back and enjoy the end of every project.
