☔️🌱POST RAIN GARDEN TIPS ☔️🌱

We have been having so so much rain this month. Rain, although great for the garden can also cause a few issues, so I though I would share some tips to caring for your garden after big rains.

🔹 HARVEST fruit and vegetables - excess rain can cause ripe fruit and vegetables to split or burst open. This can let bugs in, so be sure to get in first and harvest.

🔹 OBSERVE - Clear drains and look at areas where water is pooling. This will help you figure out how to divert water to more desired areas.

🔹 REPLENISH - Feed your gardens after big rains. Rain can wash away many nutrients and fruit trees and heavy feeding plants may suffer. After the rain has stopped, give your plants a good feed of @hoselinkofficial Organic Seaweed solution to replenish and ensure they are well fed.
