Get ready for summer with Richard Jackson Garden

 

The Flower Power range from Richard Jackson Garden has everything needed to get gardens ready for summer, and to keep them beautiful and productive all year round.

 

The comprehensive range includes feeds and tonics, pest and weed control, and composts, to cover all aspects of garden and plant care. As the weather heats up, it’s tempting to simply drag out the barbecue and sun lounger, but getting prepared now will ensure a beautiful garden for entertaining throughout the year.

 

Feed your plants

It’s really important that plants are kept well fed throughout the growing season to make sure that they are as healthy as possible. Flower Power Premium Plant Food is the perfect feed to keep stocked up on as it can be used on all plants, indoors and out. This means that there’s no need to buy specialist feed for plants like roses, orchids, tomatoes, azaleas, and even foliage plants such as hostas will benefit from its unique blend of premium nutrients, seaweed extract, wetting agent and bio-stimulants. This is proven by professional growers, with Flower Power fed plants have winning over 80 gold medals and first prizes at major flower shows, including Chelsea, for plants including clematis, fuchsias, geraniums, begonias, roses, sweet peas, dahlias, aubergines and potatoes.

 

Give your lawn some love

A winter of cold, wet weather often means that lawns look a little worse for wear at this time of year and need a bit of care. Giving tired lawns a gentle rake over will allow light and water to reach the soil and a sprinkle of grass seed will give them a new lease of life.  This method of over-seeding is best done in the spring or autumn. Triple Use Grass Seed is so called as it can be used for sowing new lawns, patching gaps and over-seeding. It has been developed by experts and is fast growing and hard wearing, so is perfect for all purposes. Lawn Magic is a double action lawn feed used by professionals, including 80% of the premier football and rugby grounds in the UK It that greens the grass and strengthens the roots, and when used in conjunction with Triple Use Grass Seed,  it’s easy to create a beautiful, green lawn.

 

Banish weeds

Battling weeds can feel like a never-ending task, but it needn’t be a chore. Gently hoeing over the ground can disperse of smaller weeds in borders, but if they persist, a specially designed product may be the best course of action. It can be hard choosing the right product, but the Flower Power Double Action Weedkiller makes it easy. It is based on naturally occurring ingredients and is 100% glyphosate free. It’s extra fast working and attacks the roots as well as the leaves.

 

Prepare to beat pests

As the garden springs into life, so too do the pests! Slugs and snails, the scourge of UK gardens, can be controlled organically with Slug & Snail Control, which is made from naturally occurring ferric phosphate and works fast and doesn’t harm pets, birds, hedgehogs or other wildlife. Not only it is 100% metaldehyde free, but it is proven to work as well as traditional metaldehyde pellets, so why choose anything else?

Get planting up

Now’s a great time to sow some hardy annuals into beds ready to enjoy a summer of colour. Start by raking over the ground and adding a sprinkle of Root Booster. The secret to any health plant is healthy roots, and the three natural ingredients in Root Booster ensure that any gardener can grow healthier, bigger and better plants. Naturally occurring Humates, Mycorrhizal Funghi and a natural starter fertiliser combine to helps roots establish, and grow stronger. Impressively, one application lasts a lifetime in the soil or compost.

 

For container growing, Flower Power Premium Peat-Free Compost contains four different peat substitutes, each with a special purpose, and is enriched with Flower Power nutrients. It includes wood fiber for strong root growth, coir (a bi-product of the coconut industry) for structure, natural rich green substrate, as well as clay for natural water and nutrient absorption.

 

The Flower power range makes it easy for everyone to grow bigger, better and healthier plants. The extensive range also includes further lawncare products, plant feeds, pest and weed control, a wildlife range, tools and gifts.
