April Shrubery Update

Shrubery update:

Well this is the second time i am writing this in sunny dry weather, Long may it continue.

We are well stocked in the department and everything is looking really well, as it should be at this time of year.

As i have said in my past updates if you need any help when you are on the garden centre please ask for either Ian or Stephen.

You will notice this time of year we have a large amount of mature stock and if you see some thing you require but we do not have enough stock we can normally order some more of the stock within a week.

A good percentage of plants in general are bought on impulse but spend a little more time looking at our range in general for something a little diffrent.

lets hope the weather gets a little more conistent so we can spend more time in our gardens.

On a final note the team in the shrubery department with you a happy easter and happy gardening.

Ian

Guide to compost and its different uses

Spring clean-up : remove any dead foliage and debris from the pond and surrounding areas Water Testing : check water parameters. If the water has ammonia or Nitrite/ Phosphate issues remove any rotting organic matter and perform partial water changes. Clean and service pond equipment: clean pumps and filters, replace filter media and pads as needed and change the uv lamps. Watch out for Blanket weed: growth of blanket weed may start due to the rise in pond temperature and increase in daylight. Excess nutrients can also help blanket weed grow. Check Fish Health: watch for signs of illness as the water temp rises treat as soon as signs show. Feeding Fish: now the water temp is rising feed wheatgerm and slowly move over on to higher protein diets as the days get warmer. Plant for March: marsh marigold will bring striking golden flowers signalling the beginning of spring in the pond.
