New Stock from the Continent

Tips and tricks to ensure you get your growing right this year…

We have just had the first three-quarters of a lorry load of new stock in from Spain. This year’s stock is the best I have had in. The quality is so good because this year’s weather has been so good for growing.

Now the weather has started to change, it is the best time to start planting. The wet weather will help to settle new plants – a lot better than tap water. When planting for the next few months (until the end of February), I would not fertilise your new plants. I would use Rootgrow in all planting in the ground throughout the year.

The bare root and root ball season has started, but a little later than usual as the weather is still mild. Many nurseries starting lifting too early while the sap is still rising. I wait until the sap is down, so the tree\shrub etc. is dormant for the winter. I think lifting early could damage the root system as it will still be drawing nutrients and moisture.
