The heatwave continues unfortunately. It’s a real test for our lawns and gardens, our children still on holidays, our pets and our native animals and birds. Please remember to hand water areas that are suffering in your gardens, including your lawn. Wet down areas for pets and leave bowls of water in shady spots for both pets and native fauna.
We know we are being a bit repetitive, but we want you to benefit from the cooling that your outdoor greenspaces provide to all living creatures, including us humans.
If your sandy and clay soils aren’t allowing water through to penetrate to the roots, (that is the water is sitting on top of the soil and not draining through readily), please ensure that you get a quality wetting agent out to wet the soil and a soil moisture retainer to hold the water applied near the roots of your plants and lawn.

Good gardening means making the most of everything you have available. Your grass clippings are too valuable to throw away, so don’t let them go to waste.
Over a good summer, the amount of grass clippings you produce by mowing your lawn can really mount up. There are many ways of disposing of them, but if you remove them from your yard completely you’re letting a valuable resource go to waste. Here are five sustainable ways of using them instead to benefit your yard and your gardening.
