British summers are more renowned for their rainfall than their sun, but summer weather can play havoc with your garden.
British summers are more renowned for their rainfall than their sun, but summer weather can play havoc with your garden. A few basic preparations and a maintenance routine, however, can protect your plants and keep your garden looking lovely right through to the end of the year.
You can prevent damage from drought without getting caught up in hosepipe ban arguments by preparing the ground around your plants with additional mulch or gravel. These conserve water and prevent drying out.
Work out the longest you can bear your lawn to be, and only cut it to this length. Long blades of grass dry out much slower, and they also retain their colour better in hot weather.
If you’re a green fingered greenhouse owner, fit shades to your greenhouses and cold frames to cut down on direct sunlight that can burn and wilt plants. If possible, ventilate them daily to allow heat to dissipate.
