June in your Garden

  • Now is the time for beaut bare rooted fruit! Now that winter is here, head into SoilWorx and grab yourself some bare-rooted, deciduous fruit trees. Pick trees with a nice shape, and don’t forget to prune them back before you plant them out  (or ask us nicely to do it for you).  Miniatures, dwarf trees, columnars, double grafts – you name it, we’ve got it.

  • Set aside a bit of space and pop in some asparagus! These are a gorgeous additions to the patch, look amazing, and taste pretty good too!

  • Top up mulch on your vegie patches, herb gardens and ornamental beds, especially important for weed suppression at this time of year. Use pea straw or sugar cane mulches for edible gardens, or choose from our huge range of wood based and inorganic pebble mulches.  These types of mulches are perfect for ornamental gardens, and, right now, you may be eligible for a government rebate when you spend $50 or more on mulch. Why not head on in and ask our awesome SoilWorx staff.

  • With all this rain about, snails and slugs will be out in full force.  SoilWorx can help you deal with all your creepy crawlies, and new in this month is our Slugga snail and slug traps.  Unlike pellets, these traps are pet, child and wildlife friendly, and allow you to deal with these slimy critters organically. Whack in a bit of beer at night time, and these traps will keep your patch safe!
