Here you can see our latest news and articles, 'know how' guides, and the tips on what you could be doing in your garden this month.
Summer is a great time to get out in your garden and get those essential July gardening jobs done. July is one of the hottest months of the year, so keeping plants well-watered is key. It’s also a great time for harvesting fruit and veg, which can be eaten freshly picked from the garden.
Growbags, containers, and pots need regular watering in this hot weather. In the hottest parts of the month, you may find yourself watering them every day. This is important so that they do not dry out. The best time to water is first thing in the morning or last thing at night, as these are the coolest parts of the day, so less of the water should be lost through evaporation. While watering, also remember to feed veg and flowers regularly using Boost All Purpose Liquid Plant Food for 4x more blooms, more fruit, and veg than watering alone.
