23 Sep Garden Pest Control in Perth: Natural Solutions for Aphids, Scale & Common WA Pests
Few things are as frustrating as nursing your garden through Perth’s hot summer and then watching prized roses smothered in aphids or citrus trees under attack from scale insects. If you’re battling the same garden pests Perth residents know all too well, you’re definitely not alone. The thing is, reaching for harsh chemical sprays isn't always the answer. Actually, it often creates more problems than it solves. Those chemicals harm beneficial insects and contaminate your soil, and if you're growing veggies or herbs, you really don't want that stuff anywhere near your dinner plate.
08 Nov 7 Natural And Cost-Effective Ways To Remove Weeds From Your Landscaped Garden
There are many ways in which a landscape design can transform your garden and provide all the many positives that flow from that. However, as much as we believe landscaping is the perfect way to turn a garden into something you and your family will benefit from, there are certain things that no landscape design can fix entirely, and one of those is weeds. While specific landscape designs might have no natural elements to them and thus may eliminate any spots where weeds might grow, these are rare and tend to be landscape projects for commercial buildings. As for residential landscape designs, they almost always have natural elements such as grass, flower beds, and shrubbery to name but three. This means that almost every Dalkeith homeowner who has landscaping has got to deal with weeds, and whilst nature may find a way to thwart your efforts, it does not mean that you should not try to minimise the weeds in your garden. Every bit of nourishment that a weed consumes is less for the plants you want to grow in your garden, so that is reason enough, plus weeds are ugly and diminish the appearance of your landscaping. One approach to removing weeds would be to blast them with all manner of chemical weed killers. It might work temporarily, but you have to question if these chemicals cause more harm than good. They are certainly not conducive to the other plants, flowers, and grass in your garden staying healthy plus they are a danger to everyone in the vicinity including yourself, children, and pets.Our Awards & Association
