JOBS TO DO IN THE GARDEN DURING APRIL
a.. The best months for fertilising citrus trees are July, November
& March. Always water the tree well after fertilising. Never place
fertiliser close to the trunk or in heaps; spread it as evenly as possible
to just past the drip-line of the tree. Compost or animal manures can be
used starting with about 4 kg for a 1-year-old tree to 20 kg for a mature
8-year-old tree. More info on organic citrus care.
b.. Caterpillar activity increases in March, check plants early that
have had problems in previous years. More info on organic caterpillar
control. Spray Dipel or Success to control white cabbage butterfly, which
can seriously damage young broccoli and cabbage plants or protect with the
PestGuard Cover.
c.. Plant a green manure crop in any unoccupied beds to improve the
soil for spring planting. First check the pH, as too acid or alkaline a soil
may be preventing nutrient uptake by your plants. Legumes, used in green
manures, generally prefer a neutral soil and dislike acidity. More info on
green manures.
d.. Protect your summer planting efforts; young trees need to be
protected from grazing animals, frost and wind damage. More info...
e.. Time to put on banana bunch covers to protect the fruit from
bird, wind and sun damage and improve its quality and increase the yield.
