Even though it may seem as if your garden needs you less now, it doesnโ€™t mean there isnโ€™t anything to do.

  • Plant indigenous bulbs like freesia, watsonia and ixia
  • Plant chasmanthe floribunda for some winter colour
  • Plant onions, broad beans, beetroot etc. (check which veggies are recommended for your province now)
  • Sow spring-flowering seeds like cornflower and calendulas
  • Feed aloes and succulents โ€“ they need TLC too.
  • Snip away dead flower heads.
  • Feed your roses.
  • Water established plants less, but get those newbies nice and wet the first couple of weeks until they appear happy and content with their new home.
  • Spot fertilise with fish emulsion.

We know we need to preserve water in the garden, and we regularly share waterwise tips to do this.

Essentially, the key is to try to reduce your gardenโ€™s impact on the environment by:

  • Creating less waste
  • Using fewer chemicals
  • Preserving natural resources

If you are doing and prioritising these three actions in your garden, you are well on your way to creating an eco-friendly garden.

Here are our first 3 tips in this series to help you get started:

  • Go organic – use organic solutions to treat pests.
  • Create your own compost heap from compost-friendly kitchen and garden scraps, this will assist with the condition of your soil and also function as a natural fertiliser for your plants.
  • Recycle – before buying something new for the garden, like a wind barrier or covering to make shade with โ€“ look in the garage (or in the house) for something that can be repurposed.

The cost of literally everything has gone up. Every saving counts, even in the garden. Water is a precious resource, and if you arenโ€™t careful (especially with larger gardens) watering the garden can become quite pricey.

  • Harvest water โ€“ Collect and store rainwater. Itโ€™s free. Installing a rain harvesting system is unfortunately not. But there are cheaper options like barrels and pits you can start off with. Alternatively, catch rainwater in buckets.
  • Plant drought-resistant plants โ€“ They only need to be watered once or twice per month during drier seasons.
  • Use greywater โ€“ Bath or basin water can be reused in the garden. Our Grey Water Harvesters can help you with this. Learn more here:
  • Water by hand using a hose โ€“ Youโ€™ll have more control over the watering needs of different plants, itโ€™s also good exercise, plus it saves you the cost of installing an irrigation system.

Gardening can and should be for everyone. Itโ€™s great for body, mind and soul, so donโ€™t let a little thing such as a lack of space set you back. Simply take up container gardening instead.

Hereโ€™s why container gardening is good for any size garden:

  • Your pots are mobile, so if you are moving house or renting it is easy to take your beloved plants with you to the next home. Also, if you find that a plant isnโ€™t flourishing in one area, it is easy to move it around to find a space where it would be happier instead.
  • The soil of potted plants is less prone to disease.
  • You can water them individually and adapt watering needs accordingly, thereby saving water.
  • Each plant in each different pot could have different fertiliser needs, which is easier to accommodate than a bed filled with plants of diverse needs.
  • It looks beautiful!

Yes, letโ€™s fertilise, but with what?

Fish emulsion can be a gardenโ€™s saving grace for spot fertilisation where specific plants are simply not flourishing like their green neighbours. Like that creeper thatโ€™s taking its sweet old time, or that patch of veggies thatโ€™s looking a bit under the weatherโ€ฆ

Fish emulsion is an organic fertiliser high in nitrogen. It also contains phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulfur, chlorine, and sodium.

Itโ€™s fast-acting, so donโ€™t overdo it. Twice a week is perfect when spot-treating specific plants.

At Wedgit, we are passionate about making gardening practical and fun. Tending to a garden offers exceptional benefits for body and mind. Imagine a world where more kids spent time outdoors growing things and playing amongst greeneryโ€ฆ
