Now’s the perfect time to tackle lawn weeds! 🌱

After a long spell of dry weather, a good dose of rainfall is softening the soil, making it much easier to get those stubborn weeds out.

🌀 Reach for your Corkscrew W**der! It’s ideal for lifting stubborn weeds such as dandelions and thistles from the lawn, helping you remove the deep root rather than simply cutting off the top.

💚 Top tip: Work when the soil is moist but not waterlogged. Twist the weeder around the weed’s root, gently pull upwards, and remove the root.

Have you made the most of the softer soil yet?

🍂🌱 Get ready to aerate!

After a long, dry summer and rain finally on the way your lawn may be compacted and in need of some attention.

Once your lawn has recovered and is actively growing after rain, autumn is a great time to aerate.

This helps air, water and nutrients reach the roots, encouraging stronger, healthier growth before winter sets in. 🌿

Make sure your aerator is ready to go! 💚

Give your garden tools some summer TLC 🧼

Your garden tools work hard throughout the growing season, so a little maintenance now can keep them performing at their best.

✔️ Remove soil and plant debris after use
✔️ Wash blades and tool heads with warm, soapy water
✔️ Dry thoroughly to help prevent rust
✔️ Sharpen cutting tools for clean, healthy cuts
✔️ Lightly oil moving parts and metal surfaces for protection

Taking a few minutes to clean and care for your tools can help extend their lifespan and make gardening jobs easier all season long.

💧 Your watering can is your garden’s best friend! 🤎

With water restrictions in place across parts of the UK due to a hot, dry summer, your trusty watering can is more useful than ever.

It gives you control over every drop, helping you get water right where your plants need it most - at the roots. 💦

From thirsty pots and containers to newly planted borders, a watering can makes it easy to give your garden a drink without wasting water.

✂️ Wisteria taking over? August is your cue to prune!

That beautiful cascade of blooms can quickly turn into a tangle of whippy growth so now’s the time to give your wisteria a little tidy-up.

✂️ Here’s what to do:
🌱 Cut back this year’s long, whippy shoots to around 5–6 leaves from the main framework.
🌿 Remove any unwanted, tangled or crossing growth.
☀️ Keep the main framework clear so next year’s flowering spurs get plenty of light.

Prune now and enjoy more blooms later 💜

🌹 Keep your roses blooming beautifully through late summer.

August is still a great time to deadhead repeat-flowering roses. Removing faded blooms encourages the plant to put its energy into producing a fresh flush of flowers, rather than developing rose hips. It also keeps plants looking neat, healthy and full of colour for longer.

For clean, precise cuts, reach for Kent & Stowe Eversharp Secateurs. Their exceptionally sharp blades make light work of cutting spent stems, keeping your roses in great condition.

Simply cut just above a healthy outward-facing leaf and let your roses take care of the rest ✂️
