Some helpful tasks for SEPTEMBER. Feed all plants with compost and a general fertiliser. Give all pot plants their spring treatment by removing a little of the topsoil and replace with sifted compost or potting soil. Re-pot root bound pot plants. Top dress lawns with w**d-free compost or manure and apply fertiliser at a rate of 60 grams per square metre. It is also a good time to plant lawn runners for a new lawn. Fertilise roses with a rose fertiliser either weekly ( 5g per bush) or monthly ( 20g per bush) Spray with wettable sulphur for protection against leaf diseases and sap sucking insects. The following flower seedlings can be planted this month:- Alyssum, celosia, coleus, dahlia, gazania, busy lizzie, lobelia, marigold, nasturtium, petunia, portulaca, salvia and zinnia.
HAPPY GARDENING, FOLKS!
