And we're out walking sites!
Matt McFarland has started the wheels in motion for the 2023 Landscape Season and it all begins with a little walk around sites.
During these site walks and discussions with clientele the many challenges with their sites are highlighted.
Light or lack of it, mature trees up against a house, grass that refuses to grow under said trees, roof overhangs and how to deal with the drought conditions under said areas. All this and more come into focus on this week's episode of The Growing Season.
Is there a natural defence against mosquitoes? Spoiler alert: THERE IS and you can turn these challenging pests into a thing of the past with one simple trick.
Tune in to find out.
