I get asked by so many people "What’s the secret to achieving a fabulous-looking lawn with the amazing lawn stripes so coveted by everyone who loves gardens?" I always start off with my main mantra- “cut it little and often!” But as you would probably expect, it’s not quite so simple! 

Welcome to part 2 of the July edition of the Grow updates. Here we will give you a round-up of some of the harvests in July.  We’ll also talk you through a selection of tools from Stiga that are helping to transform our Garden this Summer.  

Time flies and we have been busy.  

Welcome to the July edition of the Grow updates.  July has been one of the warmest that I can remember.  It’s been a perfect opportunity to get families out into the garden and enjoying nature as well as growing fresh healthy fruits and vegetables.  In this edition, we will talk about the different ways that we are growing tomatoes and a round up of some of the harvests in July.  We’ll also talk you through a selection of tools from Stiga that are helping to transform our Garden this Summer.  

Whether you have a small back yard, patio or terrace or even just a balcony, lack of space needn't be a problem with a vertical garden.

Instead of buying chemical fertiliser, why not create an organic feed at home? Follow our four-step guide to making a nutrient-rich liquid fertiliser using comfrey leaves.

Higher air temperatures make July a great month for sowing seeds. The soil is warm, and long, sunny days help speed up germination. Read our tips on how to grow some of the most popular vegetables in your garden – straight from seed, so they’re ready for cropping later in the season.

Grass weeds begin to grow after spring and can become aggressive during the summer months. Read our guide on weed prevention and ensure your lawn consists of the seeds you have sown – not the weeds that have grown.
