Worm Hit now in store

Worm Hit is a mixture of organic worm castings and an organic carbon food source which has been pelletised to create a nutrient and microbe rich, natural and organic fertiliser.

Worm Hit pellets are full of a highly active biological mix of beneficial soil microbes, enzymes and water-soluble plant nutrients. Worm Hit has the ability to remove harmful toxins, fungi and bacteria which in turn helps fight off plant diseases.

Worm Hit will condition your soil, increase it's ability to retain moisture, reduce acid forming carbon in the soil and increase nitrogen levels to a state that the plant can easily use. 

Worm Hit is also available in brick form which is great for placing in the ground before planting larger trees, shrubs or bare root plants. 

Visit ASQ Garden & Landscape to find out more and grab a bucket of Worm Hit today!

Top tips to keep your pond clean

Follow these tips to help keep your pond clean this summer... without too much effort!

Don’t have too many fish. You should have less than 10 inches of fish for every 3,000 litres of water. If you have more than this the pond is over populated and you will need to re-home some.

Don’t over feed your fish. If you feed your fish too much, the uneaten food will decay on the bottom of the pond.

Get the right size pump. This will ensure the entire volume of water is pumped once every hour. Make sure your pump filter is cleaned regularly. Check your pumps flow rate on the box as each pump is different.

Create the right balance of plants. No more than 40-60% of the pond surface area should be covered by plants or shade. Too many plants can cause oxygen deficiencies at night due to the photosynthetic process.

Clean debris before it decays. Clean fallen leaves out of the pond when you see them instead of letting them rot on the bottom.

Keep you pond cool on hot days. When water gets too hot it's harder to maintain oxygen levels. If you see your fish at the surface of the pond you need to add an aerator or some oxidising plants.

Proper filtration. Make sure the filter matches the size of your pond. You can go up a size in filters, but never go down a size, and remember to clean it regularly.

Merry Christmas

The team at ASQ Garden & Landscape would like to thank you for your support over the last 12 months. We have had a busy year and could not have done it without you!

We hope you have a happy and safe Christmas and we look forward to seeing you in the new year.

Venus Flytrap

The Venus Flytrap is a small carnivorous plant that catches and consumes insects!

Displaying splashes of vibrant red and green colours, it will be a stand out amongst your plant collection…as well as keeping your insects at bay.

Once an insect rests on the trigger hairs found inside the trap, the plant closes and begins to tighten its hold on the prey before spending the next 12 days digesting.

Not only are Venus Flytraps great for entertaining the kids, but they also make a unique Christmas gift!

Visit ASQ Garden & Landscape during December to pick up your very own Venus Flytrap for the whole family to enjoy.

Summer is here

There's always something to be done in the garden, especially during summer!

Before the weather really heats up, it's important to top up your mulch, apply a light fertiliser and add some Rapid Soak to your garden.

If you're looking for a fertiliser, come in and see our new range of Worm Hit! Worm Hit is a high performing, organic fertiliser made from a mixture of worm castings and an organic carbon food source which comes in pellet and brick form for easy application.

Happy summer gardening!

Plant of the Month - September

Azaleas are a popular evergreen shrub which produce an abundance of bright flowers. 

This shrub looks its best when mass planted beneath deciduous trees and is the perfect planting partner for Camellias. Azaleas can also be planted in pots and hanging baskets, making them a very versatile addition to your garden.

Azaleas love to soak up the morning sun and grow best in a slightly acidic soil with good drainage. So if you want to add an easy to grow plant which will provide a splash of colour to your garden, come in to ASQ Garden & Landscape this month to see our range of Azaleas!
