Today’s presentation from Andy Jenner of Simply Gardens (Ashford) Ltd. was designed to help those who struggle to keep on top of their garden. With a range of tips and tricks, Andy showed how some common, and one or two less common, problems can be tackled. They included….
- How to stop lawns going brown?
(mow regularly, but not so short) - How to deal with ants nests?
(scrape them up) - How to cope with a wet/damp lawn?
(sharp sand is your friend) - How to effectively get rid of dandelions on your lawn?
(a pinch of salt!) - How to deal with aphids without using insecticide?
(Pinch them off, or get ladybird larvae) - How to deal with slugs and snails without using pellets?
(Encourage beetles with pots or logs in a quiet area of the garden) - How to cope with a badger in your garden?
(Difficult, as they are protected. But a specific product may deter them) - Which fertilisers to use?
(Tomorite does the same as virtually all the expensive ones) - Is jet washing worthwhile?
(Yes, but don’t use chemicals)
For more information please get in touch with Andy directly.
