Watch out for Leatherjackets

Controlling Leatherjacket naturally with Nemasys Leatherjacket Killer - Leatherjackets are the larval stage of the crane fly or daddy long legs and they can quickly devastate a lawn. They lay their eggs back into the same piece of lawn they emerge from, so an infestation can very quickly escalate from a small brown patch to a full scale infesation. Birds particularly Starlings pulling at the grass in an attempt to eat the leatherjackets will cause even more damage and are an indication of an infesation. Leatherjackets eat the roots of your lawn causing slow grass growth and yellow patches to appear. The grass is easily pulled up and will have little or no root growth. Leatherjackets hatch in August / Sept and immediately start to feed, so treat with Nemasys Leatherjacket Killer in September. Pre-order Nemasys Leatherjacket Killer  for delivery w/c 13/09 - the ideal time to treat!

Stop WormCasts ruining your lawn

Stop worms ruining your lawn by applying Sulphur Lawn - Worms are good for the garden, helping to aerate the soil and mix in organic matter, but their wormcasts can ruin a lawn! The recent wet weather means wormcasts are already appearing on lawns. Ignoring wormcasts can ruin a lawn - by squashing them flat with your mower will create an uneven surface, smother existing grass & providing an ideal seed bed for weeds to grow. Worms do not like acidic conditions, so apply Sulphur Lawn to lower the pH of your lawn and drive worms away from your lawn WITHOUT harming them. The target pH is 5-6 to stop worm activity. For persistent wormcast problems apply every 2 months.

Use Sulphur Lawn Spray On for all lawns up to 100sqm or for lawns up to 200 sqm that are already slightly acidic - Apply as a liquid using a sprayer or watering can - a 250g pack treats 50 sqm/65 sq yds / 1kg treats 200 sqm/260 sq yds. Re-apply at half strength every 2 months until pH of 5-6 is achieved. N.B. Supplied with a 2 test pH kit worth £1.59 FREE to test your lawn BEFORE and AFTER application.

Use Sulphur Lawn Granules for lawns over 200 sqm and all alkaline lawns (pH 7+) - Apply as a granule - a 5kg pack treats 330 sqm/400 sq yds. Re-apply at half strength every 2 months until pH of 5-6 is achieved. N.B. Supplied with a 30 test pH kit worth £5.95 FREE to test your lawn BEFORE and AFTER application.

Bokashi Bins for kitchen waste

Bokashi Bins - Bokashi Bins are a unique and efficient way of composting kitchen waste. They use a mixture of bacteria, fungi and yeasts to safely compost your kitchen food scraps including meat, fish, fruit and vegetable waste. They are so efficient that even meat and fish scraps can be composted indoors. As landfill sites fill up, roadside collections are cut to once a fortnight & councils even talk about charging by weight to take bags away, composting your own kitchen waste makes sense. On a daily basis, simply add your kitchen waste (including vegetable and fruit waste, meat and fish scraps, coffee grounds etc) to the Bokashi Bin and sprinkle a little bran over the top. Easy! The bacteria, yeasts and fungi in the bran then get to work composting the waste.

Create Autumn Colour with pansies

Hessian Hanging Flower Bags - Great for creating autumn colour. Plastic hanging bags have been around a while and are great for creating colourful displays. This new hanging bag is made from Hessian, which is biodegradable and much more attractive than the plastic versions.  These bags are great for creating autumn colour i.e. plant them up with pansies. Use them all year round - In the summer, fill them with bizzie lizzies and fuchias for the shade or petunias, bedding begonias or trailing geraniums for the sun. Hanging bags are much easier to prepare and look after than hanging baskets as they require much less water and feed. The bag will last at least 2 seasons and much longer if emptied and stored dry when not in use.

Apply Nemasys Caterpillar Killer NOW

Nemasys® Caterpillar Control - Caterpillars are the larval stage of butterflies and moths and they can decimate both ornamental and edible crops. Control caterpillars naturally by spraying with Nemasys® Caterpillar Control when caterpillars are present. Young caterpillars "graze" on the underside of leaves, but as they grow they cause more and more damage to leaves, flowers, growing tips and fruit. It is harmless to children, pets and other wildlife and can be used on food crops up to harvest time. 

Nemasys Caterpillar Control - Nemasys caterpillar control is a cure rather than a preventative measure, so apply the nematodes when the caterpillars are present i.e. NOW. Each pack of Nemasys Caterpillar Control contains 3 separate sachets of nematodes to treat up to 40 sqm of plants. Mix the first sachet of nematodes with water and apply with a sprayer directly to the affected plants making sure the nematodes come into contact with the caterpillars. The whole process is repeated at 7 day intervals using a fresh sachet of nematodes each time. i.e. each pack gives you 3 treatments at 7 day intervals. Nemasys Caterpillar Control - 3 sachets with each sachet treating up to 40m2 - £24.99
