Less is best

  • There are many products to help keep our gardens and plants beautiful - but you can have too much of a good thing!
  • Using fertilisers above the recommended rate results in the excess running off into local waterways. Always follow the instructions and use chemicals sparingly.

Get smart to tackle pests and diseases

  • Start by making sure you know what the problem is - your local garden centre can help.
  • Try low environmental impact methods first, such as removing affected leaves by hand or using organic products.
  • Leave the strong stuff as a last resort - and get expert advice at your local garden centre before using it.
