Create an urban jungle with indoor plants

Now is the perfect time to bring the outdoors in and instantly lift your space with indoor plants!

Not only does adding greenery to your home look great, but it can also reduce stress, boost creativity and improve air quality. For many years indoor plants were considered ‘outdated’, but recently we have seen the trend make a bold return.

If you’re searching for the perfect plants to brighten your home, visit ASQ Garden & Landscape to see our range of hand-picked plants which thrive indoors!

Start preparing for bare root season 

With less than three months until bare root season, now is the time to start thinking about what's in store for your garden.

At ASQ Garden & Landscape we have access to a great range of trees at affordable prices. From fruit trees including apples, plums and cherries to ornamentals such as magnolias, acers and weeping varieties, we have just what you need to add a new lease of life to your garden.

We also have a large range of roses available including standard, patio, bush and climbing. Many of your favourite varieties are available at bare root prices including David Austin, Gold Bunny and many more.

So whether you have big ideas for your forever home or you're ticking off jobs before you put your property on the market, buying bare root is a great option for many reasons:
- Affordable: Buying bare root is a very cost-effective option, especially if you have big plans for your garden.
- Ready to go: Bare root plants take off quickly because they don’t have to adjust from container soil to your local soil.
- Established: Bare root plants typically grow for up to two years before being dug up. This means they are already quite established and ready to thrive.
- Practical: With no pot or soil, bare root plants weigh less which makes them easier to carry and maneuver when planting.
- Strength: Bare root plants generally come with a larger root mass, sometimes up to 200% larger than potted plants.
- Environment: An environmentally friendly option due to not having a plastic pot.

Orders will begin on Wednesday, 1 May and end on Friday, 31 May.

Autumn gardening tasks

Autumn has arrived and the cooler weather is just around the corner, which means there is a lot to be done in the garden!

One of the first things that springs to mind when we think of autumn is the leaves falling from our deciduous trees. As beautiful as it is watching the foliage change colour and eventually fall, the clean up can be tedious and time consuming. But did you know the fallen leaves can be composted and added back to your garden? 

Composting your leaves is not only a fun project for the family, but it’s also great for the environment and your garden. The best way to compost your leaves is to pick up one of our Compost Bins. Simply place it in a sunny spot, put some leaves inside, add a layer of soil and water it all in well to get started.

After a harsh summer it’s likely your vegie garden is looking a bit worse for wear. It’s time to take them out and start preparing your winter vegetable garden! Add a few bags of organic matter, such as cow manure or Grow Better Pure Magic Compost and use a shovel to turn it over until it is all mixed through. 

Once your soil is ready it’s time to start planting your favourite vegetables! Autumn is the perfect time of year to plant broad bean, beetroot, cabbage, carrot, cauliflower, broccoli and so much more. Once you have finished planting it’s time to mulch your vegetable garden with sugarcane, which we sell in compressed bales.

Come in and visit the friendly staff at ASQ Garden & Landscape to grab everything you need for your autumn gardening!

Autumn has arrived 

With summer gone and winter just around the corner, it's the perfect time of year to get your garden back into shape and start planning new projects.

We have lots of great special offers coming up and bare root season is creeping up on us, so now is the time to start thinking about which plants are on your wish list.

It is important to tidy up any perennials that have been battered by the summer heat by trimming them back and removing dead stems.

There is so much that can be done in the garden while the soil is still warm, but also make sure to take a step back and enjoy the autumn foliage and balmy nights!

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.

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.

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.
