Plant and mulch
September to November. Plant new beds as the first rain arrives and top up the mulch.
What we do, season by season
September to November. Plant new beds as the first rain arrives and top up the mulch.
December to February. Pull weeds while the soil is soft and fill the tanks.
March to May. Leave seed heads for the birds and save some for next year.
June to August. Do not cut back too early: dead growth protects the plants from frost.
