GG&D does FAQ's!
1. It's been raining, do my new plants really need watering?
Absolutely! Surface rain does not compare with regular, deep watering. Automatic irrigation systems can double your growth rate 👏
2. Should we use w**d matting?
This one is tricky. I do not use plastic w**d matting as it has a whole list of negative impacts on the plants and the environment. In saying that, natural hessian w**d matting can help with soil erosion on sloped garden beds. The best way to prevent w**ds is proper preparation and at least 50mm of mulch.
3. Are Australian natives going to look messy/ugly?
In short, no. It all depends on plant selections (that's what I'm here for!), there are hundreds of modern varieties to suit small gardens that stay small, dense and flower profusely.
I hope that helps!
Happy gardening and enjoy your weekend 🌱
