Care for your new garden

Aftercare:

• You should supply a bag of shredded bark mulch to suppress weeds and retain surface moisture for this growing season.

• Young plants will need to be watered twice a week for their first 6 weeks, then gradually taper off amount of irrigation. Young plants will need water during drought as well.

• Pull weed seedlings when they sprout. Perennial weeds can be repeatedly cut off below ground level until they die.
