Medicinal Garden Trimming and raking
- Rue – Trim to the ground.
- Germander – Shear to shape and encourage branching. Shear to same height as in other gardens making a uniform hedge all around.
- Check perennials for survival and make note for replacement – some appear late.
- Check markers – place properly.
- Enrich soil with compost, add Bonemeal and Bloodmeal. Use compost from middle bin at the Herb Garden.
- Build up low areas and corners in garden where needed.
- Divide perennials if necessary to encourage fuller, healthier plants.
- Add new soil and compost before replanting.
- Avoid walking if possible on wet soil, it compacts and doesn’t aerates – taking a long time to recoup.
