SANDRA GALLON INTERIORS Having been 32 years in business, and gaining an excellent reputation for quality and service, I decided to take a break for 3 years but so many of my previous clients got in touch that I decided to return and open a new showroom. I chose to make a return having done many well known, famous clients’ houses, dressing their windows with beautiful pelmets, hand finished Roman blinds, cushions etc. We pride ourselves in giving friendly expert advice.

GARDENING TIPS FEBRUARY 2015
MAINTAINING YOUR LAWN If the weather is warm, you may need to start mow. Set the cutting height at its maximum, and only mow when the grass is dry.
MOLE CONTROL
CONTINUE TO LOOK OUT FOR MOLES. THEIR ACTIVITY INCREASES IN FEBRUARY, AS THIS IS THE MATING AND NEST (FORTRESS) BUILDING SEASON. TIP: Remove the largest hills and re-firm the ground before overseeding with grass seed in spring.
Re-cut lawn edges to crisp up the appearance of the garden and save work later in the season. Turf can be laid, provided the soil is not too wet or frosty. Work from planks, to avoid compacting the soil. Do not walk on the newly laid turf and leave undisturbed for several weeks to allow new roots to establish. Prepare seed beds for new lawns to be seeded later in the spring, but only attempt this if the ground is not too wet.
MOLES LEAD SOLITARY LIVE EACH ONE IN S, OWN SYSTEM IT’S O TUNNELS F
TROUBLESHOOTING Keep brushing away worm casts, as they can be troublesome at this time of year. Fusarium patch, or snow mould, and algae may continue to be a problem.
POND ADVICE HABITAT A well-designed and maintained pond is a haven for all sorts of plants, birds and animals. It is a complex habitat full of algae and plants, scavengers, predators, herbivores, decomposers and parasites. Some species spend their whole life in the pond, for instance water snails and small crustaceans, while others use it for only part of their life cycle, such as pond skaters. All ponds, no matter how small and shallow, are a danger to young children; remember to consider their safety.
MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR GARDEN Make your pond as big as possible – this is better for wildlife as there will be more habitats. Put it somewhere sunny, away from trees. Ensure some edges are shallow and sloping to allow animals easy access. Stock your pond with native plants from other garden ponds or garden centres. Never take plants from the wild. Insects, amphibians and invertebrates will find your pond surprisingly quickly on their own.
