Winter in your garden + what's new

Winter is here, Garden Gang 🌿 Time to rug up, head outside and give your garden a little cold‑season love! June is a fantastic month to set your garden up for a lush, healthy spring! This is especially the case here in Eltham and across Nillumbik, where cool nights, damp soil and occasional frosts all play a role. Here’s what you can be doing in your garden now: Mulching & Composting for Winter Mulch is your garden’s winter blanket. In our area’s clay and loam soils, winter mulch helps to: Protect roots from cold and frost Reduce weed growth Improve soil structure as it breaks down Keep soil biology active over the cooler months What to use: Fine pine bark or mixed bark mulches work great around ornamentals, natives and trees. Pea straw or sugar cane are perfect for vegie beds and fruit trees. Leaf litter and homemade compost is ideal under established shrubs and garden beds. Aim for a layer around 5–7 cm thick, keeping mulch a few centimetres away from plant stems and trunks to prevent rot! Ask our team in-store about the best mulch for your garden type. We stock a wide range suitable for local conditions so we are sure to have one that will work for you! Winter composting tips: Keep your compost heap covered to stop it getting waterlogged. Alternate layers of “green” material (kitchen scraps, fresh prunings) with “brown” material (dry leaves, shredded paper, straw). Turn it every few weeks to keep it aerated. Cooler temperatures mean it might break down more slowly in winter, but it’s still working away generating heat in the centre of the pile. Winter Planting & Revegetation Winter is prime time for planting in Eltham and Nillumbik, especially for: Natives and revegetation species Trees and shrubs Hedging and screening plants Winter vegies and hardy herbs Cooler temperatures and more rainfall helps new plants settle in with less stress, meaning roots can quietly establish now and really take off in spring. Revegetation season Help support local wildlife and biodiversity by choosing plants native to our region, such as: Groundcovers: Dichondra, Native Violet, Running Postman Shrubs: Grevillea, Correa, Westringia, Melaleuca Trees and larger shrubs: Acacia (Wattles), Eucalyptus, Banksia, Hakea Revegetation planting is generally left to its own devices after an initial watering or two, hence why it is a good idea to get the plants in ahead of Spring to allow sufficient root development to help them survive the harsh Summer conditions. We can guide you to plants that suit Nillumbik’s bush block, suburban or riverside conditions, and help you choose species that attract birds, bees and butterflies. Just pop in-store and ask one of the team! Don't forget to give your plants the best chance of establishment success by protecting them with plant guards. Multiple options are available, depending on your budget and situation. Check out our range of revegetation and erosion control products here! In the vegie patch: June is a great time to plant: Broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale Spinach & silverbeet Onions & garlic Broad beans & peas Improve beds with compost and well‑rotted manure before planting, and mulch lightly to keep soil friable but not soggy. Dealing with Winter Weeds Winter is weed season in our region because the cool, damp conditions are perfect for growth. Common winter weeds you might spot include: Onion grass Oxalis Cape weed Winter grass in lawns Control tips: Hand weeding: After rain, when the soil is soft, is the easiest time to pull weeds by hand or with a weeding tool. Mulch bare soil: A good mulch layer dramatically cuts down new weed seedlings. Lawns: For winter grass and other lawn weeds, choose lawn-safe treatments and follow the label carefully. Persistent weeds (like oxalis): Often need repeated removal; avoid cutting bulbs into small pieces, which can spread them. Bring a sample (sealed in a bag) or clear photo into ID Garden Centre and our team can help you identify the weed and recommend the most suitable control method – including organic options. Check out our range of weeding options here! Preparing Now for a Big Spring A little planning in June means a lot less rushing around when the weather warms up. 1. Pruning & tidying Remove dead, diseased or crossing branches from deciduous trees and shrubs. Lightly shape shrubs that have finished autumn flowering. Hold off major pruning of spring‑flowering plants (like some camellias and ornamental blossom trees) until after they’ve finished flowering later on. 2. Feed your soil Think “feed the soil now, feed the plants later”: Add compost, manure and soil conditioners to tired beds. Top up worm farms and spread castings lightly around fruit trees and vegie beds. Use slow‑release fertilisers suited to your plant types (natives, roses, citrus, lawn, etc.), so nutrients are available when growth kicks back in. 3. Plan your spring colour Use winter to sketch or visualise your spring display: Decide where you’d like bulbs, flowering annuals or new shrubs. Consider pollinator‑friendly plants to support bees and beneficial insects. Make a list of gaps in your garden so you can pick the best plant for the right spot to give you the impact you desire. Our team can help you plan your garden beds, come in and have a chat. What's new in-store? INTRODUCING OUR NEW GARDEN CENTRE MANAGER Please give a warm welcome to our new store manager, Andrew.

That’s why we’ve partnered with RePurpose It, a local leader in recycled landscape materials, to supply high-quality mulches that work with our climate and support circular resource use. 🌿 Why Mulch Is a Must in Eltham Eltham’s gardens face the full spectrum of Melbourne’s weather — from summer heat to winter chill. Mulching is one of the simplest, most effective ways to: Retain moisture in hot, dry weather Suppress weeds without chemicals Insulate soil and protect roots from extreme temperatures Prevent erosion on slopes and exposed beds Add long-term organic matter back into the soil 🌿 Our Locally Sourced Mulch Range from RePurpose It Here’s a closer look at the mulch types we stock and how they perform in Eltham’s garden conditions: 🌳 Reground Bush Mulch A cost-effective, eco-friendly mulch made from recycled tree prunings and green waste. Coarse texture helps suppress weeds and reduce evaporation Natural appearance blends into native or informal gardens Breaks down over time to improve soil structure 🌿 Eucy Mulch – Fine Finely shredded mulch with a rich, earthy scent. Ideal for native gardens and established beds Breaks down slowly and retains moisture well Helps repel some pests naturally 🌿 Eucy Mulch – Chunky Larger-grade eucalyptus mulch for long-term coverage. Great for high-traffic or windy areas Slower to break down, so it lasts longer Creates a clean, natural look for formal and native gardens alike 🌲 Arborists Mulch A fresh, mixed mulch from local tree works. Affordable and great for large areas or rough coverage Contains a mix of woodchip sizes and leaf matter Nutrient-rich as it breaks down — ideal for replenishing tired soils 🧸 Softfall Mulch Certified softfall mulch perfect for playgrounds and pathways. Meets Australian safety standards for impact absorption Clean and uniform texture Suitable for under play equipment or walkways in natural gardens 🌻 Tips for Mulching Success in Eltham Apply 50-75mm thick for best moisture retention and weed control – too thick and you risk preventing rainfall and runoff from penetrating the mulch layer and making it’s way into the soil. Too thin and you will lose the beneficial effects of water retention and thermal protection. Keep mulch clear of plant stems and trunks Refresh yearly, or more often in high-traffic or sloped areas Choose mulch based on function: decorative, protective, or soil-improving 🌱 Shop Mulch Locally in Eltham All our mulches are sourced locally from RePurpose It and available by the bucket or in bulk. Visit us in Eltham or order online for fast delivery to Research, Montmorency, Diamond Creek, and beyond.
