Ways to achieve your goal |
How Scotts® can help |
|
Prepare a bed for flowers or bulbs.
|
- Choose a sunny location - most annuals and bulbs prefer full sun.
- Eliminate weeds & grass with herbicide.
- Dig the soil over well. Mix in fertiliser and organic material such as compost (about 5%).
|
Roundup® Ready to Use Weedkiller will kill off weeds without poisoning the soil.
Prepare the soil with Osmocote® PLUS Garden Beds Controlled Release fertiliser - it contains all the nutrients flowering plants need.
Prepare the garden bed with Osmocote® Garden Soil, which consists of rich composted organic material fortified with Osmocote Controlled Release Fertiliser, Hydraflo2 wetting agent, Stimulex and gypsum.
|
| Plant seeds or seedlings |
- Water well beforehand.
- Plant seeds at the time of year and depth recommended. Do not allow soil to dry out.
- Handle seedlings with care to prevent damage to roots.
|
It is very important to keep water up to your plants initially. Maximise the effect of watering by using a wetting agent such as Hydraflo2® or by using products that contain a wetting agent.
