Tips for Cold Spell

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , — TopVeg @ 11:32 am

Take precautions to avoid a setback in the garden during a cold spell:

    * move tender potted plants inside
    * cover delicate plants in the garden with polythene, cloches, old
      curtains, conifer branches, horticultural fleece
    * delay buying plants
    * mulch  to keep warmth in soil

Work the soil:

    * dry, cold conditions are ideal for cultivating – soil structure
      will be maintained
    * prepare seed beds, by knocking the soil into small crumbs
