August in your Garden – Bulleen Art Garden

Well, the last weeks of winter are finally here, with the scent of Wattle signalling the promise of spring just around the corner. The first Magnolias are in flower and the gold and purple of Acacias and Hardenbergias create a dramatic floral display. The cold, frosty mornings are a prelude to the burst of new growth that heralds the coming new season of life. We have already had our fair share of frosty mornings and more are likely, so continue on with those frost damage prevention measures for a few more weeks yet.

You're reading: August in your Garden – Bulleen Art Garden

It is still an excellent time to plant bare root deciduous trees. We have weeping specimen trees as well as shade trees and other ornamentals, as well as fruit trees, berries and vines. We also have a rose for all situations: standard roses as well as climbers, bush roses and ground-cover forms. If you need some help selecting a tree or rose, come in and ask for some advice.

Produce Gardening in August

Click here for a full list of herbs, fruit and vegies that can be planted in Melbourne this month.

August is an excellent month to plant your seed potatoes, asparagus, strawberries and rhubarb. Use only seed potatoes to avoid introducing diseases into the soil. Asparagus will last for years and years so choose an area where it won’t need to be disturbed. Rhubarb is another perennial which will do well left undisturbed so prepare the soil well before planting with loads of manure and compost.

In the vegetable garden it’s time to plant seed or seedlings of asian greens, beetroot, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, celery, kale, leek, lettuce, onions, parsley, parsnip, peas, radish, rocket, silverbeet and spinach. Peas eaten fresh from the pod are delicious and children love them. It’s the start of the season to plant globe artichokes, strawberries, turnips, chicory, sunflowers and your last chance to plant jerusalem artichokes and spinach by seed.

Companion Planting

Let nature control pest out breaks in your kitchen garden by planting some beneficial insect attracting flowers in the garden. Go for mixes of alyssum, foxglove, echinacea, bergamont, poppies and calendula. Also, plant some coriander and dill to allow to go to seed. Companion plants camouflage your edible plants from insects, enhance growth in some cases, and as a bonus some are edible, such as borage, pansies, viola, calendula and nasturtium. Click here for our companion planting factsheet.

Put down some rich compost or well aged manure around the drip lines of your fruit trees.

Prepare other beds for your summer vegetables by incorporating organic matter such as well-rotted compost , blood and bone and animal manures. Green manure crops should be dug in now before their stems become too woody.

For those of you with glasshouses / hothouses or similar you can try your luck at getting an early start with sowing seeds of tomatoes, chillies and eggplants. The seeds can also be germinated on a sunny windowsill indoors. You can also plant seedlings of basil and early, more cold tolerant tomatoes in your greenhouse. Early tomato seedling varieties include Apollo, Rouge de Marmande, KY1 and Roma.

Spring Into Seeds, Bulbs & Seedlings

We now have our spring-summer seed range in stock, with tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchinis and lots of other delectable summer delicacies! We also now stock a large range of organic, non-hybridised herb and vegetable seeds. The seed of these can be collected to produce another generation of true-to-type produce. In the shop also we now have summer flowering bulbs, such as Oriental Lilies and Peony Roses. Ideally try to get these in by the end of August for a good summer display.

Now is the time to plant both summer and autumn flowering bulbs and tubers, such as Cannas, Dahlias, Liliums, Lily of the Valley, Hippeastrum, Tuberose, Nerines, Gladioli and Alstromeria. Prepare the soil by mixing in plenty of manure and don’t forget to put the stakes in now for the tall Dahlias and other tall flowering plants.

It’s also time to plant summer flowering seedlings such as Snapdragons, Hollyhocks, Verbena and Lupins. Marigolds and Petunias can be planted now, but you will need to provide protection from late season frosts.

Pruning & Re-potting

If you didn’t prune your Apricots in autumn (preferred time of year) you can prune them once they start flowering, which normally occurs towards the end of August (pruning in winter allows entry of bacterial gumosis).

Winter flowering native shrubs that have finished flowering should be tip pruned to keep them compact and to encourage bushy growth. Native shrubs may be fertilised with blood and bone at half the recommended rate, or use a native fertiliser mix.

Many jonquils and daffodils will have finished their flowering. Cut off the spent flower heads but leave the foliage to die back naturally. They need to do this in order to store nutrients in the bulb.

Continue to liquid feed winter / spring flowering annuals every two weeks with a complete liquid fertiliser. Late this month is the time to prune Hibiscus and Gardenias and then fertilise them and other flowering evergreen shrubs with an all purpose organic fertiliser and mulch well.

Repot overcrowded cacti and succulents. Use a cacti and succulent mix and pot them up into a larger pot. Any broken bits can be planted up and you may even get new plants out of them.

Repot your ferns and other indoor plants and remove any dead or damaged growth.

Remove spent blooms on your Azaleas and Camellias. New growth buds occur at the back of each flower. When they have completely finished flowering give them a dose of Azalea and Camellia fertiliser.

If you have not already pruned your roses, now is the time to do so. Remember to clean and sharpen secateurs and prune with the aims of cutting out dead wood, improving air circulation, creating strong structure, and especially promoting flowering. Fertilise with an organic Rose Food later this month to promote new spring growth. Spraying Lime Sulphur or Copper Sulphate on the bare stems at this time can help prevent fungal disease. Also remember to spray Peaches and Nectarines for Leaf Curl disease (more info below) just as the buds begin to swell.

Pests, Diseases & other annoyances

Fruit Tree Issues

Read more: Potash And Plants – Learn About Potash In Soil And Potash Fertilizer

To help control overwintering pests and diseases, it’s your last chance to clear up any fallen debris from underneath the trees and in the branch junctions of the trees. Make sure any healthy prunings go to the green waste recycling or are chopped up in a hot compost. Also scout for and remove any overwintering pests at the base of trees, in the cracks of bark, in rough bark and within the branch junctions.

Grapes can be sprayed with lime sulphur just before bud burst to help control fungal problems and the ‘Grape Blister Mite’

For your deciduous trees, if you’ve had problems occurring, like scale, bacterial and fungal diseases, you may want to do a winter spray with Bordeaux, copper or lime sulphur.

Peach Leaf Curl

Growers of fruit trees, such as peaches, nectarines, almonds and occasionally apricots, have all been confronted at one time or another with the new leaves on their trees becoming thickened with blisters and curling up. The blisters start off red in colour, then turn white with a bloom of fungal spores.

Peach Leaf Curl is a fungal disease that infects Peaches, Nectarines, Almonds and other Prunus species. The symptoms are noticed in spring and summer, when the leaves appear with raised lumpy light green and red patches and are curled up. This problem weakens the tree if it occurs year after year, and will result in a reduced fruit yield. Once you see the symptoms, it is too late to spray. The trees should be sprayed from mid-to-late winter from bud swell until the leaves emerge. Spray with Copper oxychloride during this period, and again after rain, as the rain will wash off the spray. This is a preventative spray, so the swelling buds need to be covered with the copper spray. The nursery puts up signs when we spray our Peaches, Nectarines and Almonds to remind you when to spray your own trees at home.

If you would prefer not to use the fungicides year after year, be very vigilant and pick off affected leaves as soon as they appear. (Dispose of them with your garbage and not in your compost). However, this will weaken the tree so encourage new growth by feeding with some fast-acting organic fertiliser, such as Blood & Bone. If your tree was very badly affected one season, you may need to consider using a fungicide the next.

Click here for more information on Peach Leaf Curl.

Citrus

It is a good time to plant citrus. There are many dwarf varieties now available as well as a range of regular varieties. Remember to protect citrus from Citrus Gall Wasp by cutting out any affected wood and hanging sticky traps in the trees.

Kids in the Garden

Set up a sunny windowsill inside as a mini-greenhouse. Small containers, such as empty yoghurt tubs or strawberry punnets (with holes punched through) can be used with seed-raising mix to start growing tomatoes, pumpkins, cucumbers and other tender summer vegies. Make sure the soil is kept moist and your seedlings will be well and truly ready for planting outside when the soil warms up.

Koehler insisted that participants in his training classes used “emphatic corrections”, including leash jerks and throw chains, explaining that tentative, nagging corrections were cruel in that they caused emotional disturbance to the dog.[19] Vicki Hearne, a disciple of Koehler’s, commented on the widespread criticism of his corrections, with the explanation that it was the emotionally loaded language used in the book that led to a number of court cases, and to the book being banned in Arizona for a time.[20] Despite the controversy, his basic method forms the core of many contemporary training systems.[21] Help!

The Battle Against Bugs: Effective Pest Control Methods for Bulleen Homes

Introduction

Pest control bulleen is the practice of managing and eliminating pests that can cause harm or nuisance to humans, animals, and plants. Pests can range from insects such as ants, cockroaches, and mosquitoes to rodents like rats and mice. They can also include other creatures such as birds, bats, and termites.

The presence of pests in homes can pose a threat not only to the physical structure of the property but also to the health and well-being of its occupants. This is why it is important for homeowners in Bulleen to understand the significance of pest control.

Preventing Damage to Property

One of the main reasons for implementing pest control measures is to prevent damage to your home. Pests like termites can cause severe damage to the structure of a building by feeding on wood, which weakens its integrity over time. Other pests like rats and squirrels may gnaw on electrical wires, increasing the risk of fire hazards.

By regularly monitoring for potential pest infestations and taking preventive measures, you can save yourself from costly repairs in the long run.

Protecting Health

Pests are not only a nuisance but also carry harmful bacteria and diseases that can spread quickly throughout your home. For example, cockroaches are known carriers of Salmonella while mosquitoes transmit deadly diseases such as dengue fever and malaria.

Effective pest control methods help eliminate these disease-carrying pests from your home, protecting you and your family's health.

Prevention Tips for Keeping Bugs Away

There's nothing worse than dealing with pesky bugs in your home. Not only can they be a nuisance, but some bugs can also cause serious health hazards and damage to your property. The good news is that there are steps you can take to prevent these unwanted pests from invading your Bulleen home. Here are some effective prevention tips for keeping bugs away:

Keep Your Home Clean: A clean home is less attractive to bugs as it reduces their access to food and water sources. Be sure to regularly sweep, vacuum, and mop floors, wipe down surfaces, and take out the trash regularly.

Seal All Entry Points: Bugs can easily find their way into your home through small cracks and gaps in windows, doors, and walls. Inspect your home for any potential entry points and seal them off with caulk or weather stripping.

Eliminate Standing Water: Many bugs breed in standing water, so make sure there is no stagnant water around your home. Check for leaky pipes or faucets both indoors and outdoors, empty out any standing water after rain showers, and keep gutters clean.

Store Food Properly: Bugs are attracted to food sources in your kitchen or pantry. Make sure all food items are stored in airtight containers to prevent attracting pests like ants or cockroaches.

Trim Trees and Shrubs: Overgrown vegetation near your house not only provides shelter for pests but also serves as a bridge for them to enter your home. Keep

DIY Pest Control Methods:

Pests are a common problem that many homeowners in Bulleen face. From ants and cockroaches to rodents and termites, these unwanted guests can cause significant damage to your property and disrupt your daily life. While professional pest control services are effective, they can also be expensive for some homeowners. That's why many people turn to DIY pest control methods as an alternative.

Before delving into the various DIY pest control methods, it's essential to understand that prevention is always better than cure when it comes to pests. By taking preventive measures, you can reduce the chances of a severe infestation and save yourself from the hassle of dealing with pests in the first place.

Keep Your Home Clean: The best way to prevent pests from entering your home is by keeping it clean and clutter-free. Pests thrive in dirty environments, so regular cleaning will make your home less inviting for them. Make sure to sweep floors, wipe down surfaces, and take out the trash regularly. Don't leave any food or crumbs lying around as this will attract insects like ants or cockroaches.

Seal Any Entry Points: Pests can enter your home through even the tiniest cracks or gaps in walls, windows, doors, or roof tiles. Inspect your home thoroughly for any potential entry points and seal them with caulking or mesh screens.

Use Natural Repellents: Many natural ingredients have potent repellent properties against common household pests such as peppermint

Natural Remedies and Products

Natural remedies and products are often a preferred option for those looking to control pests in their Bulleen homes. Not only do they offer a more environmentally-friendly solution, but they can also be just as effective as chemical-based methods. Here are some natural remedies and products that you can use to battle against bugs in your home.

Essential Oils

Essential oils have gained popularity in recent years for their various health benefits, including repelling insects. Some essential oils with insect-repelling properties include citronella, lavender, peppermint, eucalyptus, and tea tree oil. These oils can be used in different ways to ward off bugs from your home.

One way is to mix a few drops of the essential oil with water and spray it around areas where bugs tend to congregate. You can also add them to a diffuser or make your own bug repellent spray by mixing the essential oil with witch hazel or rubbing alcohol.

Diatomaceous Earth

Diatomaceous earth is a natural rock powder made from fossilized algae called diatoms. It works by absorbing the waxy layer of insects' exoskeletons, causing them to dehydrate and die. This makes it an effective remedy for controlling crawling insects like ants, cockroaches, and bed bugs.

To use diatomaceous earth for pest control, sprinkle it around areas where you've spotted insect activity or create a barrier around entry points such as windowsills and doorways.

Step-by-Step Guide on How to Use Them

Pest control methods can be effective in keeping bugs at bay, but it's important to know how to use them correctly for optimal results. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to use some of the most common pest control methods in Bulleen homes.

Identify the Pest: The first step in any pest control plan is identifying the type of pest you are dealing with. This will help you determine which method will be most effective and where exactly you need to apply it.

Choose the Right Product: There are various types of pest control products available in the market, such as sprays, baits, and traps. It's important to choose the right product based on the type of pest and the severity of infestation.

Read Instructions Carefully: Before using any pest control product, it's crucial to read and follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer carefully. This will ensure that you use the product safely and effectively.

Wear Protective Gear: Some pest control products can be harmful if they come into contact with your skin or eyes. It's essential to wear protective gear such as gloves, masks, and goggles while handling these products.

Prepare Your Home: Before applying any pest control method, make sure to prepare your home by removing food sources and covering or removing items that may come into contact with the product.

Apply According to Directions: When using sprays or foggers, make sure

Natural Pest Control Methods

When it comes to pest control, many homeowners are hesitant to use harsh chemicals and pesticides that could potentially harm their family or the environment. Luckily, there are effective natural pest control methods that can help keep your home bug-free without using harmful chemicals.

Essential Oils: Many essential oils have strong scents that repel pests such as ants, spiders, and mosquitoes. Some of the most effective essential oils for pest control include peppermint oil, tea tree oil, and lavender oil. You can mix a few drops of these oils with water and spray around entry points or areas where you have noticed pests.

Vinegar: White vinegar is another natural ingredient that acts as an effective insect repellent. The strong smell of vinegar makes it difficult for pests to navigate and find food sources in your home. Mix equal parts water and white vinegar in a spray bottle and use it to wipe down surfaces or spray in areas where you have seen bugs.

Diatomaceous Earth: This naturally occurring sedimentary rock is made up of fossilized remains of tiny aquatic organisms called diatoms. It works by absorbing the protective wax layer on insects' exoskeletons, causing them to dehydrate and die. Sprinkle diatomaceous earth around areas where bugs enter your home or directly on their nests.

Plant-Based Repellents: Certain plants act as natural insect repellents due to their strong scents or chemical compounds that deter bugs from coming near them
