For the Green Thumb
Use plenty of mulch: mulching is vital. Mulch is nature’s blanket, keeping soil cool in summer and warm in winter. Hay mulches are more gentle on the soil than bark mulches, and they feed it as they break down, however it does need replacing over time. Spread it at a depth of 5-10cm think, working around existing plants.
Most plants are quite happy indoors, provided you can give them the right conditions (although, there are a few that will tolerate dimly let rooms and barely any water – here’s looking at you pothos and sansevieria). Visit your local nursery for a range of indoor plants.
Making a keepsake of your memories is easier than you might think. Whether it’s a birthday or anniversary gift or a particularly gorgeous get-well arrangement from a friend, drying your flowers will preserve their beauty and sentimental value.
