Can't Garden - Won't Garden - Is this you?
Gardening is easy - really, just give it a try - you won't be disappointed.
Just remember, you don't need to be "Chelsea Fower Show" standard.

Long lingering days of sunshine and occasional showers make for strong plant growth with maximum flower power. Keep your garden tidy and weed-free so that you can enjoy the beauty of summer without distraction.


Pretty paths and patios

Gravel paths and drives can be kept weed-free with Pathclear Weedkiller + Preventer. One application will kill existing weeds and prevent re-growth for up to 3 months. Clean green mould and moss from patio paving, walls and fences without high pressure jets or back-breaking scrubbing. Use Patio Magic! to wet the area and you will see visible results in just 2-4 days.



Protect your Roses

Roses
will be in bloom, but at the same time foliage will be subject to attack by mildew and black spot. Spraying is the only way to be free of these diseases. As soon as you see the first signs, treat your decorative plants with RoseClear 3 - it controls diseases and also kills greenfly too.




Aphid alert!

Greenfly and blackfly breed incredibly quickly so it's important to watch out for the first signs of attack. For flowering plants use the BugClear Ultra range. Its systemic action kills all major insect pests and protects for up to three weeks. For edible crops use one of the BugClear for Fruit & Veg range. Their natural active ingredients are ideal for all fruit and vegetables.


Evergreen complete

Luscious Lawn

Grass grows vigorously in June and can soon exhaust soil nutrients, turning it pale and thin. To get things growing strongly again, feed with EverGreen Complete 4 in 1. Not only will you see visible greening, you'll be controlling weeds, moss and improving water absorption at the same time.

Weedkillers are not all the same

Treating gravel drives and paths with a special residual weedkiller will not only get rid of the existing weeds, but will help to prevent newly germinating weed seeds from taking hold for weeks or even months. One simple application of Pathclear Weedkiller PC can stop re-growth for up to 3 months. For larger areas you can buy it in ready-measured sachets that will treat 10 square metres each, or for smaller spot treatments, use Pathclear Gun! for the ultimate in ‘ready to use’ convenience.
Use now before weeds get a grip on your garden!


Snail

Watch out for slugs and snails

Protect the new growth of delphiniums, hostas and other vulnerable cottage garden plants with a liquid slug killer. Water SlugClear over and around these decorative plants to kill off hidden slugs and snails, did you know that 80% of slugs are actually live under ground? If you prefer the power of pellets then sprinkle SlugClear Advanced Pellets thinly as directed on the pack around the plants you want to protect.


Potato Sac

Grow for winter

There's still time to sow seeds of winter vegetables such as leeks, brussels sprouts and purple sprouting. Sow in drills, 2cm deep in a seed bed that has been improved with some Multi-Purpose Compost. When big enough to handle, transplant the seedlings to their final growing positions and feed with Fruit & Vegetable Plant Food.


Onion

Do you know your onions?

Everyone needs Onions for cooking and you can grow a huge crop very easily if you plant immature bulbs, called ‘sets’. If your cooking is more continental, then Shallots (better for coq au vin and moules mariniere) and Garlic (for your home-made pizzas) can be grown in a similar way as onion sets. You don’t need loads of space to grow onions and shallots, you can get a great crop using a Miracle-Gro Organic Choice Potato & Vegetable Gro-sac on a patio or balcony. Leeks are just as easy but planted later.


Strawberries

Grow Tasty Strawberries for Summer picnics

Roll on Wimbledon and summer picnics - a great excuse to eat strawberries with pink bubbly or a glass of Rose. To prevent slugs ruining these tasty fruits, grow your own strawberries off the ground in a Giant Planter or decorative pot, instead of in a garden border. 'Cambridge Favourite' has been around a long time but why not try newer names such as ‘Hapil’ and ‘Elsanta’ that have been developed for superb flavour.
