After a period of absence, your garden and vegetable patch may have suffered from the summer heat and lack of maintenance. Here's how to effectively revitalize them by combining cleaning, natural care, and preparation for autumn, with the help of Fertilaine, the 100% natural fertilizer made from sheep's wool.
🌸 1. Revive flowerbeds and potted plants
Before pruning or pulling out plants, observe them. Some may still have a lot to offer. Remove faded flowers, damaged stems, and dead leaves. For roses, cut the stem just above the first leaf with five leaflets to encourage new blooms. For perennials, remove faded flowers and lightly hoe around the base to aerate the soil. Enrich the soil with Fertilaine, which slowly releases essential nutrients, ensuring continuous and natural nutrition.
🌱 2. Maintain annual plants
For annual plants, remove damaged specimens and harvest seeds from indigenous species such as nasturtiums, cosmos, lavateras, California poppies, and sweet peas. This will allow you to prepare for the next season while maintaining a clean and tidy garden. Apply a light mulch to retain moisture and limit weed growth.
🌿 3. Care for the soil and roots
To revitalize the soil, aerate it by lightly hoeing and removing weeds. Apply an organic mulch to retain moisture and protect roots from temperature fluctuations. Enrich the soil with Fertilaine, which improves soil structure and promotes healthy root development.
💧 4. Resume watering carefully
After a period of absence, resume watering gradually. Water early in the morning or late in the day to limit evaporation. Use a watering system suitable for your plants to ensure even water distribution. Enrich the watering water with Fertilaine to provide essential nutrients to the plants.
🌾 5. Prepare the garden for autumn
Remove dead or diseased plants and prepare the ground for autumn crops. Sow green manures to enrich the soil with nutrients and improve its structure. Apply mulch to protect the soil and limit weed growth. Enrich the soil with Fertilaine to ensure continuous and natural nutrition throughout the autumn.
