August time in the garden

Posted on August 20, 2019 at 11:35 AM
August time in the garden

Here are some other jobs to keep on top of during August:
  • • Give hedges a final trim before they stop growing.
  • • Water plants thoroughly when needed instead of every day. Thorough watering supports plants for up to 14 days, while merely wetting the surface wastes water, encourages weeds and can lead to surface rooting making the plants more vulnerable.
  • • Use water butts as much as you can to water your plants.
  • • Recycle your water - collect washing up water in a bucket outside for watering beds and lawns.
  • • Turn the compost in your compost bins every month to keep it well aerated and to speed up decomposition.
  • • Scoop floating weed and algae from ponds.
  • • Remove rampant bulrushes or irises from your pond before they go to seed and make the problem worse.
  • • Now is a good time of year to treat lawn chafers and leatherjackets with nematodes.
  • • Keep an eye out for white powdery mildew on plants. If possible, remove the affected parts and spray with a fungicide to prevent further spread.
  • • Look for aphids on the underside of leaves - rub them off by hand or spray with an insecticide to prevent them multiplying. Alternatively try using a natural pest control such as Lacewing larvae.
  • • Keep an eye out for scarlet lily beetles on your lilies - remove and crush any you see. Also check for the sticky brown larvae on the underside of leaves.
  • • If your plants are wilting, check for vine weevils by tipping your plants out of their pots and looking for 'C' shaped creamy maggots amongst the roots. Treat with nematodes if vine weevils are spotted.
  • • Prevent slugs attacking your young plants by using slug control.
  • • Use boiling water as a weed killer on your paved areas. Weeds wilt and die within a few days.

Thanks for these gardening tips. As a homeowner who maintains a fairly large garden, the work on it is constant throughout the year season after season. It must be done to keep the plants and flowers from withering and the yard being overrun by grass and weeds. It's hard work but I don't mind as every time I look at my garden I feel a sense of serenity and satisfaction. I consider my garden pretty low maintenance but there are still many work to be done to keep it beautiful and thriving. I learn helpful tips by reading blogs and watching vlogs about gardening.
