Around the garden job checklist - week 27

1 - 7 July 2013

It's time to...

Compost your kitchen and garden waste
Top up the water level in garden ponds when it starts getting low in summer
Push canes in around tall plants like gladioli and lilies and tie them to the stems for support
Place eye protectors on the tops of all garden canes
Water hanging baskets and containers daily, ensuring they never dry out
Empty compost bins when full, mixing up the compost and then re-filling. Sprinkle the contents with a biological activator as you go
Apply weedkillers to paths and drives
Give houseplants a weekly liquid feed
