Native Garden Winter Boost, in a nutshell…

1. Clear the base
2. Sprinkle Rock Minerals
3. Add Seamungus
4. Water
5. Water with Microbial Tea Blend
(), worm wee or compost tea
6. Sprinkle some mulch back over the soil

This won’t take long, but will make a huge difference to the health and resilience of your plants this Winter!

Ps if you’ve already got really healthy, living soil, don’t worry about any of this!

The right mulch, used in the right way, can do wonders for your garden.

A generous layer of mulch across a garden bed (5–10cm is generally recommended in Australia) is usually a great thing. It helps suppress weeds, regulate soil temperature, reduce evaporation, feed soil life and improve soil over time.

But if mulch is piled too thickly around the base of your plants, it can create problems.

🍃 Roots may grow up into the mulch layer instead of deeper into the soil.
🍃 Water can be held in the mulch rather than soaking down to where deeper roots need it.
🍃 Damp, dense conditions can encourage fungal issues and other harmful pathogens.

Advice about mulch can be confusing because of all the conflicting information online.

Our approach is simple:

Plants need water.
Water needs to be in the soil where the roots are growing, not sitting in the mulch layer.

As we head into winter, our favourite garden “boost” is a combination of rock minerals, Seamungus and a biological stimulant like .

Remember…if you’ve got mulch piled heavily around the base of your plants, pull it back first.

There’s no point adding soil conditioners and biological products if they can’t reach the soil where they’ll do the most good.

By now, you’ve probably worked out that we love working in and creating native gardens.

That said, there are certainly times when we encourage and recommend a mix of native and exotic plants to create a beautiful, functional and enjoyable garden.

Many people have fond memories of their parents’ or grandparents’ gardens and want to include some of those plants in their own space.

Others love growing fruit, picking flowers, or simply enjoying the colour and fragrance that some exotic plants provide.

This garden was designed by .bossdesign and has been cared for by for the last few years.

It includes:

🌿 Native plants for habitat

🌸 Exotic plants for seasonal colour and interest

🍋 Productive plants for food

🌳 Trees for shade and cooling

Don’t feel you need to always ‘follow the rules’ of garden design.

Include the plants you love and those that make you ‘feel’ something.

Let’s hope the sun stays out and we can all get out into the garden this weekend!

Drainage solutions don’t have to be ugly or expensive.

Sometimes, it’s best to get back to basics in order to solve drainage challenges.

We’ve done a few small ‘rain gardens’ now and the feedback has been that they’ve been extremely effective!

If you’ve got a spot where water pools, overflows or keeps killing plants, it doesn’t always mean you need major drainage works.

A rain garden is a shallow, planted depression(like a pond without a lining) that’s designed to capture, slow and soak up excess rain water.

In this case, water was trickling from under the timber retaining wall in light rain and overflowing towards the garage in heavy rain.

By using this method along with plants, mulch and edging with weeper holes, we are holding and redirecting excess water.

We are all about natural solutions that also help the environment. If you are too, then why not hit follow!

We were so proud to work with the Garden Club students today!

Last year, the students and teachers were feeling disheartened with the native gardens surrounding their Yarning Circle.

The plants were alive, but they were not thriving.

The garden was very weedy, dry and dusty. It didn’t matter what the students did, it just never felt better.

We were asked to ‘revive’ the area last November with help from the students and teachers.

Together, here’s what we did…

✅hand removed the weeds(our Hori Hori’s were a hit!)
✅cut back, tidied and pruned
✅planted a great selection of indigenous and bush tucker plants
✅gave the soil all of our favourite things: Rock Minerals, Seamungus and home brewed Microbial Tea Blend( )
✅added Bio Booster Garden Mulch()

Today we returned to help with a ‘Winter Boost’.

We were absolutely blown away by the amazing growth and health of the plants.

It was wonderful working with the students and teachers again. To see their pride and satisfaction with the result was awesome.

If you have a garden that you just can’t get working, we hope these processes and products can help.

Our Boreas Street garden is more than a native garden, it’s a living ecosystem that provides food, shelter and habitat for wildlife while providing a beautiful space for people to enjoy.

It’s full of endemic and locally occurring plant species that support biodiversity and reconnect the suburb block to the landscape that once existed here.

Gardens like this take time and patience, but have to start somewhere.

If you’ve been thinking about doing something truly meaningful with your front(or back) yard, Boreas St is your sign to make a start🍃🌸🦠🦜
