Late winter is the perfect time to prepare the garden for the months ahead. With cool temperatures and plenty of rain having been received across Canowindra, there is absolutely no better time to dig in and get the jobs done.
Soil Preparation
Ask any garden lover about what the most important part of gardening is and they will all say preparation of your soil comes first and foremost.
The addition of organic matter in to the soil provides nutrients and habitat to organisms and one very important fact to note – improves water holding capacity. Time to get the digging fork out!
Plant Selection
Have you ever wanted a particular plant in your garden but have never known how to get started or if it will grow in the area that you live? The best place to start is at your local nursery.
