Tips and tricks for your garden

05/07/2023 By wealden

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.
