If your soil is of clay textures, add gypsum and organic matter. For tired garden beds, a soil activator can be used. This will enrich the soil by providing a rich source of organic nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus, essential for the plants balanced diet. Digging over the soil aerates it and mixes in any added fertilisers etc. Fertilise existing fruit trees and other plants now, and top up the mulch.
Autumn is the best time for planting, as the roots become established while the soil is still warm.
Pot up any plants now, so they are established before winter. As the weather is still very warm remember to cover up and wear a hat. Make a plan of your new garden, choosing a style carefully before selecting the plants. We are always happy to help with your selection if you are unsure or needing assistance.
