Mint is a perennial herb that is very easy to grow. It’s a good idea to put it in a pot on its own because it can invade the space of other plants if left unchecked. The flowers attract bees from mid-summer onwards. Prune back after flowering, cut the flowered shoots to around 5cm above the surface. Mint is a vigorous plant that will spread all over the place if planted straight into the ground. This is why it is a good idea to plant it in a large pot filled with multi-purpose compost that can be placed in a prominent place to make picking easy. Mint dies back over winter, but can be picked between late spring and mid-autumn. Pick regularly to keep plants compact and to ensure lots of new shoots. This also means you get to harvest lots of its leaves for your cooking. Light and Water Mint plants prefer partial shade, you can keep them in full sun if you want but you need to water them frequently. It is also one of the few herbs that grow well in shady areas, a truly versatile plant in regards to light requirements, but its ease of care can increase depending on where you place it. One thing Mint needs is constantly moist soil with adequate drainage. Mint plants like water, but they cannot withstand soggy soil and wet feet. Upon touch, if the soil feels dry, add water. It is probably best to water the plants in the morning so that they have plenty of moisture by the time the hotter afternoon sun hits. If you are growing your mint indoors, you will need to provide humidity. You can achieve this by misting the plant between waterings or set the container on a water-filled tray of pebbles.
Using a unique two-stage process exclusive to us, this natural, microbial treatment starves algae of nutrients and digests the resulting dead organic matter, leaving your pond crystal clear. Step 1. Kick Start Oxygenator - natural bicarbonates and related substances release oxygen, starving algae and weed. You'll see results in just 3-4 days. Step 2. Pure Aqua - introduces a natural biome of bacteria to maintain pond clarity. These degrade muck and slime that has accumulated in the bottom of pond, clarifying water and establishing long term populations. Note that to work, the microbes needs the water to be 10°C or more to work - So use April to October. Pond Clear Pro 2 Step consists of two parts, Kick Start and Pure Aqua which contains specially prepared materials encapsulated with selected strains of bacterial cultures. These attract dispersed particles in your pond and form a core on which the organisms grow, assisting in the generation of sludge which settles out to leave clear water. Odours such as ammonia and sulphur are very rapidly taken up by Pond Start, while heavy metals and other toxic substances are reduced so greatly improving water quality. Some benefits of Pond Clear Pro can be observed immediately after dosing commences, although major improvements in water clarity frequently take a few weeks to become apparent. By using Kick Start as a pre-treatment, you'll see results much more quickly. How to use Kick Start and Pure Aqua PRIOR TO APPLICATION - If your pond has excessive blanket weed, first remove as much as possible and dispose of it on the compost heap. This will prevent the build-up of dead organic material, and therefore improve microbial digestion and reduce oxygen consumption.See how to calculate the volume of your pond here: www.yougarden.com/pondclear.htm Step 1, Day 1 - Add Kick-Start Oxygenator, the Fast-Acting Pre-treatment Sprinkle contents of the Kick Start sachet into the Pond. One sachet will treat a pond up to 20,000 litres. For ponds over 20,000 litres add an extra sachet for each additional 20,000 litres. Step 2, Day 3-4 - Add Pure Aqua with 'Zeolite Ultra' to both extend and enhance performance. Open your pack of Pure Aqua and simply drop the sachet(s) into the pond. The sachet(s) is biodegradable, so will dissolve releasing the microbes into the water and the Zeolite will drop to the bottom. Each soluble sachet is sufficient to treat a pond up to 10,000 litres Suitable for all pond types including fish ponds, wildlife ponds and natural swimming pools. May also be used in water butts and tanks to eliminate algae.

Save time and money with Strulch Mulch. Lasting up to two years, you'll spend less time weeding, watering and feeding and more time enjoying your garden. One of the major benefits of using Strulch is that it includes an automatic pest control - the physical properties of Strulch mulch together with the embedded minerals deters slugs and snails, giving you a more organic way to deal with these bothersome pests! A mineralised straw mulch, Strulch is the new, environmentally friendly and efficient way of applying a mulch to your plants. Used by professionals, Strulch is light and easy to use, and being made from renewably sourced wheat straw it's a simple way to garden organically. Manufactured in Britain using a new preservation technique, naturally occurring soil minerals are used to stabilise and condition milled straw. This ensures that nutrients are release into the soil not taken from it - so plants remain happy and healthy. Another benefit is that the straw remains attractive for up to 2 years, giving a much more visually appealing finish to your garden, with a rustic, earthy-brown colour which will darken with age. Reducing the need for watering and weeding, Strulch suppresses weeds by up to 95% by blocking out light and prevents moisture loss by evaporation from the soil. It's also great for pest control as slugs and snails dislike the texture so will tend to stay away, while added minerals act as an extra deterrent. With a neutral pH, Strulch is ideal for use around the garden and is organically certified - use it in borders and pots, raised beds and around fruit and veg and in the kitchen garden. Strulch can also be incorporated into compost or soil to improve soil structure. We'll deliver these large bags direct to your door for ultimate convenience free of charge!

Please see description below for full product details.A decorative shrub that can be grown outside, the pawpaw is a garden-worthy plant that will give a long season of interest. The show begins in spring, when the deep burgundy-purple, cup-shaped flowers burst from their buds in May. With an unusual form, they consist of 6 petals - 3 outer and 3 inner - giving a delightful show that always gets attention. These are followed in hot summers by oval, edible fruits that colour up from yellow to a rich ochre - think of the colour of a ripe banana. The long lime-green leaves then dominate the show, gradually turning golden-yellow before falling in the autumn. Tasting like a cross between a banana and a mango, pawpaw is said to have a sweet custard-like flavour which makes them a great delicacy - however, you're unlikely to see them commercially grown as plants can be male, female or hermaphroditic. Although they have both male and female reproduction parts, they are not self-pollinating and need pollination from another unrelated pawpaw tree. Hardy to -10C, the Pawpaw benefits from a warm position in the garden such as a sheltered, south-facing wall where it is best grown as an ornamental multi-stemmed shrub. While plants can reach up to 8m in their native US, they're more likely to attain a modest 4m here in the UK.Supplied as an established plant in a 3L pot ready for immediate planting.Top Tips- Pot-grown shrubs can be planted at any time of the year as long as the soil is not waterlogged or frozen. If in doubt, err towards spring but remember to keep pots well-watered so that the soil does not dry out.Care GuidePlanting Advice for your Asimina triloba Pawpaw tree:- Grow Paw Paw in a sunny, sheltered site in well-drained, preferable acid soil. Protect from frost and winds.- Paw paw trees need well-draining soil that is high in organic matter so if your soil is heavy, then you can improve drainage by adding sand or grit.- Dig a planting hole 3 x wider than the roots of the shrub you're planting and mix some well-rotted compost or manure with the soil from the hole and use this to re-fill once the shrub is in place.- We've found that a square hole is better than a round one as the new roots, once they reach the edges tend to grow in a circle round the circumference of the hole whereas when they reach the corners of a square hole, they find it easier to grow through.- Before planting soak container-grown shrubs thoroughly and allow to drain.- Remove the plant from its pot and tease out a few of the roots.- Add Mycorrhizal fungi to the roots when planting to help plants establish quicker.- Place your shrub in the hole at the same level at the pot.- Refill the hole with the earth removed (backfilling).- Firm in the soil with your heel, avoiding the root ball and water well.- Mulch around the base of the plant with a collar, compost, gravel, bark etc.Aftercare advice for Asimina triloba:- The paw paw tree likes to be kept in continuously moist soil.- Keep plants well-watered while they establish.- Hardy to -10°C, protect from cold winds as it is these that tend to cause the most damage to young plants.Pruning Advice for Pawpaw:- Pawpaws require no special pruning; only occasional maintenance is needed to remove any growth that has been damaged over winter.Planting Time:February - NovemberFlowering Time:May - JuneFruiting Time:SeptemberAbout You GardenEstablished for over 50 years, our award winning trusted plant supplier are based in South Lincolnshire.
