Re: HELP my pooor lilly pilly crop

thanks for the advice.. ive sprayed vinegar around to deter animals none have been intruding since then :smile:  and had been using seasol liquid fertiliser.. but will try what youve suggested... the ground looks dry on top but is moist under.. we also have decided to place a pvc pipe into ground to water down  to roots .. 

as for soapy water ... do you suggest ?  dishwashing soap ?

Hi @LillyPilWrKshop 

 

I suggest having a look at the Yates 17.5kg Dynamic Lifter Organic Plant Fertiliser and Soil Improver. This is used to gently feed all types of garden and potted plants, including Australian native plants. It releases nutrients slowly, improving the structure and moisture retention of the soil as well as encouraging earthworms and beneficial soil micro-organisms.

 

If you need further assistance, please let me know.

Hi @innessa  Just a good organic soil improvement. Here in Perth , I love to use Baileys Soil Improver. Otherwise a good Compost. I also like @EricL @suggestion of the Dynamic Lifter 😊
