If you’re always staring at your garden during the Christmas holidays and thinking “I should have sorted my garden out”, then this video is for you!
In this video, we’ll run through the main tasks that need to be done in the ‘windy’ month. We’ll look at fertilising and pruning with a little bit of planting thrown in for good measure. At the end of the video, I’ll point out a particularly invasive pest that strikes this time of year, how to spot it in time, and how to get rid of it. I’ll also give you a suggestion for the perfect tree for a small garden.
