The Woolly Gardener's Guide: Sustainable Gardening Tips by Hortiwool

June is the sunniest month of the year but it's also when your soil starts losing the moisture it needs most. From succession sowing salads and beans to pruning spring shrubs, there's plenty to keep you busy. Discover our top tips for a thriving June garden, and find out why more and more gardeners are turning to wool mulch to keep their plants happy all summer long.

Summer heat can leave plants wilting, soil baked dry, and gardeners exhausted. But there's a simple, natural solution, wool. Find out how Hortiwool helps regulate soil temperature, retain moisture through the driest spells, and feed your plants naturally as it breaks down.

You've planted flowers. You've done what you thought were all the right things and yet the bees aren't coming or at least not in the numbers you'd hoped. Here's what's likely going wrong, and exactly what to do about it.

There's a particular kind of peace that descends when you step outside into a garden. It doesn't announce itself loudly. It arrives quietly, in the smell of damp soil after rain, in the soft hum of a bee moving from flower to flower. This Mental Health Awareness Week, we're exploring why time in the garden is one of the most restorative things we can do for our minds.

If you've ever thought about growing your own food or flowers but didn't quite know where to begin, we'd like to make a case for starting right now. Not next spring. Not when you have a bigger garden or more time. Now. This month. In May.

If April is the month the garden wakes up, May is the month it really gets going. The risk of frost is mostly behind us, the days are noticeably longer, and there's a warmth to the soil now that makes everything want to grow.

There's a moment in April, you'll know it when it arrives, when you step outside in the morning and the garden feels genuinely different. The light has changed, the birds are making an extraordinary amount of noise, and something that's been quietly coiled up all winter finally starts to move.
