Garden Tips for Spring in Auckland:
Spring is in full swing, and October is the perfect time to get your garden and lawn in top shape. Here’s what to focus on this month:
🌼Lawn care – Give your lawn a good mow and consider aerating any compacted areas. Early spring fertiliser helps promote strong, healthy growth.
🌼Planting – This is a great time for summer vegetables, annuals, and flowering shrubs. Make sure you choose plants suited to Auckland’s climate.
🌼Pruning – Trim back any winter-damaged branches and tidy up hedges to encourage new growth.
🌼Mulching – Refresh your mulch to conserve moisture, suppress weeds, and improve soil health.
🌼Pest and disease check – Keep an eye out for aphids, snails, and fungal issues and act early to protect your plants.
🌼Irrigation – Check your system is working efficiently and adjust watering as the weather warms. Consider using smart irrigation systems to save water and ensure your garden stays healthy.
Spending a little time now means a healthier, more vibrant garden and lawn for the months ahead.
