August

Hi All ,
          time to give you some updates .  We have been busy believe me .. Upgrading gear  ,Tiding up and refining our process's . We are lucky to have had the support of existing clients and the growing support of new ones..Our contract Greenwaste rates  , introduction of loyalty cards ,reduced delivery rates and friendly helpful service seems to be being rewarded . Thankyou ..  Our team have a clear focus on as quick as possible service , product education and focus on the importance of reducing landfill waste and recycling .. The past 12 months we have taken in over 2800mt of Greenwaste which is now happily composting away organically . This two year+ process produces the best natural organic compost your garden can get hold of ..  Remember we are here 7 days a week so the Mon to Fri workers can drop off Greenwaste and pick compost Sat /Sun  ..   
          

Heres our pre spring advice :

For your vegetable garden, blend in our famous in Nelson/Tasman Greenwaste Compost to prevent the soil compacting and making it difficult for water and air to move through.  Begin sprouting seed potatoes for planting next month.  You can also plant beetroot, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, celery, coriander, kale, mizuna, silverbeet, spinach and, of course (!), parsley, sage rosemary, and thyme

In the flower garden, August is the time for a final pre-Spring tidy up – trim the hedges and clip the edges.  You can plant azaleas, bellis, calendula, clematis, crocus, gladiola, roses, hebes, lavender,  paper daisies, nemesia,  rhododendrons and violas.

Fruit-wise, all deciduous trees can be planted successfully in July, August and September while the plants remain dormant, and the widest selection will be available in the stores now.  You can also plant berryfruits now – check what’s available in the garden centres.

We have more news to come ....
