July's Tips

Low rainfall in spring has led to the soil having a moisture deficit of over 4”, so we need 4” of rain over the next 7-8 weeks to restore the soil to full moisture capacity. We need to work out how we mange our gardens given there are mutterings of a hose pipe ban here in the south-east. Newly planted trees and shrubs (within the last two years) are vulnerable as they have yet to get their roots established and will require enough water to wet below the original pot depth to draw their roots down to a range of nutrients in deeper soil. Insufficient water draws roots nearer to the surface and the heat.
