TOP TIPS FOR AUTUMN GARDEN SUCCESS
• Apply Tui Organic Seaweed Plant Tonic every 2-4
weeks to help prevent transplant shock, promote
strong growth and keep your garden thriving.
• Replace the lost nutrients from those heavy growing
seasons by adding in compost and Tui Sheep Pellets.
This will provide a healthy new foundation for your
autumn and winter crops.
• Keep mounding up celery and leeks.
• Harvest pumpkins and dry well before storing.
• Plant lettuce early autumn to get a good harvest from
most lettuce varieties.
• Autumn is a busy season for slugs and snails so protect
your young vegetable seedlings with Tui Quash.
• Aphids and whitefly will be about. Blast off with a hose
or spray with warm soapy water.
• Fertilise citrus trees in early autumn with Tui Citrus
Food, unless there is threat of frost.
• In the flower garden prune back flowering plants that
have finished for the season.
