Spring Fever

spring to-do list

- Top up potting mix or repot plants into bigger containers

- Apply a fresh layer of mulch to garden beds

- Prune trees and shrubs to encourage new growth

- Fertilise all plants – blood and bone for natives, liquid fertiliser for vegies and pots and plant-specific food for roses, citrus and orchids

- Revitalise lawns with an organic fertiliser. Aerate soil or topdress with sand to fill hollows
