Preparing Your Garden for the Christmas Bloom
Late spring is the turning point for Kiwi gardens, the moment when growth accelerates but so does the rising heat. With Christmas just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to strengthen your garden for the busy, dry, and high-sun months ahead.
Feed the Soil, Not Just the Plants
Most gardeners focus on feeding their plants, but the real work happens underground. As temperatures rise in late spring, soil biology wakes up. Microbes increase activity, worms move closer to the surface, and organic matter breaks down faster.
Why Early Mulching Beats Summer Weeds Every Time
As every NZ gardener knows, summer weeds don’t arrive in December, they start quietly germinating in late spring. Once temperatures rise and soil warms, weed seeds activate fast, competing with your plants for water and nutrients just when they need it most.
