3 Mistakes Killing Perth Gardens 🌱☀️
Perth summers are tough on gardens, but many problems start under your plants’ feet. Here are the top mistakes we see, and how to fix them:
1️⃣ Poor Soil Quality
If your soil is low in nutrients or drains poorly, plants struggle to grow strong roots.
💡 Fix: Start with nutrient rich, well draining soil to give your plants the foundation they deserve.
2️⃣ Wrong Watering
Watering too much, too little, or at the wrong time stresses your plants and can even lead to rot or wilting.
💡 Fix: Water early in the morning or late afternoon, and let quality soil help retain moisture naturally.
3️⃣ Neglecting Mulch & Sand
Bare soil dries out, w**ds take over, and roots can overheat.
💡 Fix: Apply mulch and sand to protect roots, improve soil structure, and save water.
✅ Pro Tip: Healthy soil, proper drainage, and the right mulch can turn a high maintenance garden into a low effort, thriving garden — perfect for Perth summers.
