A greenhouse is an excellent place to start sowing flowers, vegetables, and herbs to later transplant into your garden or to simply enjoy when harvest time comes along. Some plants can be directly sowed into the garden soil, with a few attracting beneficial insects and providing a vibrant addition to your home.

Roots are, well, the root of good plant health! When you give roots a healthy start, your plants are much more likely to be able to survive drought, heat, cold, poor soil and disease - everything your veg plot could throw at it. 
This sowing season, we're looking at how to give roots the best possible start using boosters, root trainers, Jiffy Pellets, soil testing equipment and more! 

Spring is getting closer and gardeners’ busiest time is almost here. Growing a spring vegetable garden, however, is always a great idea for fresh vegetables around the year. You can start off your veggies in your greenhouse so they’re ready for replanting into your garden when the weather is warmer.

Start off your plants indoors to give them the best head start possible. Early spring can often still be too cold for seeds to germinate and a propagator will help to give your plants a healthy start.

Tending to the garden is a job for the entire year - there’s always something to do! We’ve compiled a few top gardening tips for January so you can start off the year with the right foot.

An electric propagator is a great choice to start germinating seeds quickly. It provides constant temperatures throughout due to having a heated base, supporting your plants’ fast and healthy growth. Most seeds require a stable temperature between 18℃ and 22℃ to germinate. Supply them with that temperature evenly throughout the day, and they’ll have a much more successful germination rate.

It's December! And we take that to mean we can finally get excited for Christmas! Lots of us have spent the weekend digging decorations out of the loft and going to local tree farms to pick our trees - especially as this weekend saw us mark Small Business Saturday!

The first factor to keep in mind when overwintering geraniums is whether your variety of geraniums are worth the trouble or if it’s best to let them be and purchase another more agreeable variety the following year. Additionally, make sure that you have enough space for your plants. A greenhouse is the ideal solution if your geraniums have grown quite a bit when freezing temperatures come around.

If you’re wondering how to water plants when on holiday, self-watering pots are the perfect solution. They remove the need to ask your neighbours or relatives to check on your plants while you’re away - while making sure that your plants never get thirsty.
