••• CO MPE T I T IO N S Gardening tips for the winter I The HANNON Gentle Facial Wash is a very effective facial wash which delicately works on the skin. It removes even the most stubborn make-up and oil. It is ideal for teenagers or people struggling with skin conditions such as acne, since it contains the active ingredient ACNET which controls inflammation and which fights bacteria. This skin cleanser must be used in the morning and in the evening. People who like a traditional skin scrub will really enjoy the HANNON Mother of Pearl Facial Scrub. It is ideal for anyone with an oily to normal skin type. It is also an excellent pre-shaving scrub for men who tend to get ingrown hair when they shave. However, it is not recommended for people suffering from acne, such as teenagers. t is that time of the year again, winter time! When seasons change it is normally the time to take stock of your garden and to plan for the next phase. With winter around the corner we would like to give you a few handy gardening tips regarding the cold, watering during this time as well as a number of other gardening aspects. COLD Firstly the biting cold! You may want to do the following: • Sensitive plants should be moved to a more protec­ted place. • Remember to use different ground covers, which offer protection to the plant and which keep it warm. • Wait until after the cold before you start pruning - the leaves protect the plant against the cold. Postpone pruning until the end of July or even until early August. • Remove the autumn leaves, particularly those falling into fish ponds, since it could be harmful to fish. • Remove winter grass - it grows while the rest of the lawn shows poor growth, as in winter. WATERING • Do not water too much. • Plants should be watered once in two weeks only. • Growing bulbous plants should be watered more regularly. • Irrigate as early as possible during the day in order for plants to be dry by the evening. • Early-morning watering will also remove the dew or frost from the plant. OTHER GARDENING ASPECTS In order to have a beautiful garden, aspects which were neglec­ted during the summer should now receive attention. During this time, when you mow and water less, the cleaning and painting of garden ornaments, the sanding down of wooden objects and garden furniture could receive attention. If you have enough time you could even look at constructions such as fences, garden walls or the lack thereof. 5% af SMS Senwes, Hannon and your name, telephone number and e-mail address to 31 022 before 31 July 2016 for a chance to win one of two gift packs of Facial Wash and a Mother of Pearl Facial Scrub to the value of R500 each.
