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.
