What's new
Christmas time
You can only say so much with words, so instead here are some pictures of what we've got in store for Christmas...
Vegie patch advice
Simple secrets to having thatsuccessful veggie patch is to ensure that you select an area that receives sun most of the day, is sheltered from strong winds and is within reach of your garden hose.
Ground preparation is important, good drainage and the adding of organic matter to your existing soil will provide that much needed soil structure providing your plants with the ideal growing environment and with regular top ups it will continue to provide you with a source of delicious produce for many years to come.
Fertiliser can be added prior to planting and regular uses of liquid fertilisers can ensure that your harvest is always at its peak condition from start to finish. If you are restricted for space don’t think you can’t enjoy the spoils of a vegie garden. Many vegies can be grown in containers so check out the range of ‘Pot Vegies’ from Oasis. Why not try a combination of a tomato, mixed lettuce and herbs.
Gorgeous Giftware
It is as if Christmas has come again with gorgeous new giftware being unpacked
every week at every store. French inspired, planters, trays and photo frames
along with candle
lanterns and stunning glass vases. You will not be able to resist the beautiful
bunnies that have just hopped out of their boxes, almost as good as chocolate
eggs for Easter gifts!
We also have a lovely range of bird themed gifts, from small hanging birds to
perfect platters, plaques and wall hooks.
Water restrictions
Confused as to what restrictions are in place at the moment? Remember to check the Actew water conservation website to stay on top of them.
Remember just because you can water, it doesn't mean you have to! Plants die from over watering nearly as often as they do from lack of water.
