🌿 Gardening Tips for the Week in Bega Valley! 🌿
Planting: It’s the perfect time to plant winter vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower. Don’t forget to add broad beans and peas to your garden!
Mulching: Keep your garden beds happy by applying mulch to retain moisture and suppress those pesky weeds.
Soil Preparation: Get your soil ready for planting by adding compost and organic matter to boost soil health.
Gardening tip of the week:
If you’re a coffee lover, you’ll be happy to know that used coffee grounds can be a valuable addition to your garden! Rich in nitrogen and other essential minerals, coffee grounds can give plants like roses, azaleas, and tomatoes a helpful boost. Simply sprinkle them around the base of your plants to enhance soil quality. The grounds also attract earthworms, which naturally aerate the soil, helping roots breathe. Avoid using them too frequently, as too much acidity can alter your soil’s pH levels over time.
