FEBRUARY GARDEN TIPS
Mulch fruit trees
Mulch with well rotted manure or
garden compost taking care not to
mound mulch up around the trunk.
Cut back the
old foliage
Cut foliage from ornamental grasses
before growth begins - clip them
to within a few centimetres
of the ground
Remove faded
flowers
Remove any faded flowers from your
winter pansies to stop them
setting seed. This will encourage a
flush of new flowers when the
weather warms up.
Moving trees
or shrubs
If you need to move deciduous trees or
shrubs, now is the time to do it provided
the soil is not frozen or waterlogged.
