We love this natural spray -- it repels 🦟mosquitoes & ticks effectively from your yard for up to a MONTH! 😯

The garlic odour is not smelly to humans about 30 minutes after spraying, but mosquitoes can still detect it ✅️

For bird baths, add a small amount of canola oil alongside this.

Want to grow better tomatoes 🍅 this year? Skins cracking while tomatoes are growing can be caused by a lack of calcium in the soil: using a fertilizer with extra calcium can help.

Proper watering 💦 is also essential for tomato plants.

Tomatoes grown in containers need different watering & nutrients from those grown in the ground, as Tanya Olsen explains here.

Check your hanging baskets daily to see if they need water. 💦

If the soil is hydrophobic (water is not absorbing easily because it is so dried out), you may need to water it and then water again in about 10 minutes.

Tanya Olsen (BLA, owner of Royal City Nursery in Guelph) explains why it's best to water in the mornings & other helpful tips for effectively watering your hanging baskets 👍
