No matter where you live in Australia, chances are you've experienced some extreme weather patterns. We've had floods up north, drought in the south and incredible storms in the west.
On this week's show, I'll be going through some things you can do in the garden to protect vulnerable plants from some of these occurrences -
- How to prevent hail or heat damage
- Protecting plants from winds
- Why frosts damage plants and how to protect the vulnerable ones
These tips will help you to know what to do when you get an extreme weather warning, and you'll be ready to act to save your garden (or at least minimise the damage to plants!)
Until next time, happy gardening.
Yours,
