- I did a Google search and found you - it's great to be find a really reliable business whose ability and reputation is as good as their website claims them to be.
Amanda - Macleod - Finally, a straight hedge that is STRAIGHT. Perfect.
Andrew - Templestowe - After my husband died it was all too much for me to manage. Thankfully, it's all better than ever now and I've been able to put my own influences into the garden.
Joyce - North Balwyn - My lawn was alive and healthy this summer for the first time in years. The neighbours all thought I was sneaking out and watering it at night. You've taught me a lot about how to properly care for my lawn.
George - Heidelberg - This house came with 6 fruit trees that didn't give me any decent fruit for the first 4 years, but after 2 seasons of proper pruning and feeding and spraying; I can't give enough of it away.
Kerry - Eaglemont - I realise now that I only used to cut my roses back and never really pruned them properly. After the guys pruned and fed them, the way they grew back and the size and quality of the flowers was simply phenomenal.
Margaret - East Ivanhoe - All I said was I want a native garden that doesn't need heaps of work or water. What you then created from that brief is fabulous. I've got birds and frogs and a few possums now calling my garden home.

Grow Garden Care Advice
Garden Advice for November
Now is the ideal time to think about adding some seedlings to pots and the garden to give fantastic Christmas and summer colour if you haven’t already done so. Buy your plants in small pots or carry packs. These seedlings are semi mature and already in flower. The best for warmer sunny areas are petunias, marigolds, salvia and vinca. In shady areas nothing beats impatiens for a fabulous show. New Guinea Impatiens should be in stock now. These will grow in the shade but can take full sun for some parts of the day. Always use the best potting mix you can get. We always use Debco “Terracotta and Tub Mix”.
Get into the habit of watering your seedlings EVERY week with a liquid fertiliser such as Power feed, Phostrogen plant food or Aquasol. Alter the rates accordingly for all your potted plants. You will notice the difference your efforts will make.
Why not plant up some living gifts for friends and family this Christmas? Plant up a wide low dish with some mixed herbs or even a punnet of mixed lettuce. A salad bowl or herb bowl make a practical and useful gift for any hard to buy for relatives or friends. Just follow the same tips for establishing seedlings.
If you haven’t planted any tomato bushes it isn’t too late. Just put them into the garden with lots of manure worked into the soil or into a large (14”) pot. Use Tub and Terracotta Mix. Always put on a growing frame first and let your plants grow through it. Fertilise weekly or even more regularly with a liquid tomato fertiliser. Water daily as the weather warms up.
Mulch, Mulch, Mulch. Insulate your plants and soil now if you haven’t already done so. We have discovered Olsen’s Greenbio soil rebuilder. Its not a fertiliser but a granular form of all the microscopic organisms in your soil that keeps it fresh and healthy. Just sprinkle it over the soil and then mulch over it to activate. Amazing results.
