Continue feeding with Tomorite. Take out side shoots regularly on all but bushy and trailing varieties.
Some lawn feeds release their energy so quickly that grass puts on a mad spurt of growth that needs extra mowing. That's not the case with Evergreen Mow it Less. The lawn turns green in just a few days but grass does not grow super fast - so extra mowing isn't necessary.

Lawn weeds left untreated creep and spread to make unsightly patches that rob the grass of space, nutrients and soil moisture. But just one application of Verdone Extra can kill the weeds without harming the grass. It will even rid you of problem weeds such as yellow suckling clover, daisies and speedwell.

Blackfly attacking broad beans and runner beans. Use BugClear for Fruit & Veg as it's effective on all edible crops and 'food-safe'. On flowers and shrubs spray BugClear Ultra Gun! it gets inside the plant to kill pests that sap plant sap and reduce plant vigour such as Greenfly, other aphids, whitefly, caterpillars

ROUND UP GARDEN WEEDS

Summer bedding is fading and many plants have past their best. The only thing that's guaranteed to keep on growing are the weeds. Don't despair - as you can kill those weeds without digging. Annual weeds can be treated in a day with Weedol Gun! MAX but bindweed, couch grass, ground elder and other tough weeds need the power of Roundup to kill the roots.

Miracle Gro and sweet peas

ANTS IN YOUR PANTS

For long-lasting protection indoors spray along skirting boards with Ant Stop Gun! Out in the garden dust Ant Stop! Powder along runs and at nest entrances. To kill the whole nest, open an Ant Stop! Bait Station and allow the workers to take the attractive bait back to their mates in the nest.


Miracle Gro and sweet peas

Sweets for my sweet

Flowers can continue to flower throughout the summer and into Autumn if the flowers are picked regularly and the roots are fed every 10 days or so with an all-purpose plant food such as Miracle-Gro Soluble. For watering or feeding all the flowers in your garden then the Miracle-Gro LiquaFeed system is quick and easy.


Keep your Houseplants happy

Position your new houseplants carefully - find a light, warm spot out of direct sunlight and protected from cold draughts. Don't overwater - only moisten the compost when the surface feels dry. For healthier flowering and foliage plants, feed with Miracle-Gro Pour and Feed.

Birds need feeding

Wild song birds will visit your garden regularly if they are sure of finding a supply of food. During the winter a regular supply of mixed seed stored in a pigeon and squirrel-proof container will provide vital nutrients. Suet balls contain a high fat mix especially beneficial in cold weather.
