🌱 Weeds running wild this year? You’re not alone! 🌱

It’s been one of those seasons—so much rain, so many weeds! And if your rhododendron garden is looking more jungle than jewel, now’s the time to act before winter sets in.

Here’s what’s working in our garden right now:

✔️ Blanket mulch — A combo of cardboard + pea straw is our go-to. It blocks light, holds in moisture, protects roots from frost, and stops weeds from popping up.
✔️ Tackle the nasties — Stinging nettle and deadly nightshade? We’re coming for you!
✔️ Feed while you mulch — Sprinkle slow-release fertiliser under the mulch to keep your rhodos strong all winter.
✔️ Got dags? Use ’em! For those on farms, a fage full of wool and dags from the shearing shed makes an amazing natural mulch and fertiliser.
