At Tui we’ve been digging in since ages ago. That’s hundreds of tall tales, small fails and dirt-under-the-nails. Hundreds of planted seeds, pulled weeds and fertiliser feeds.
As Kiwis we love digging in, with the can do, care and ingenuity that’s in all of us. So, let’s dig in together, shall we? As Kiwis, as gardeners, as Tui.
We've got everything you need to dig into your garden for plentiful harvests.
Digging into the vege patch
- Choose a sunny, sheltered area in your garden.
- When choosing your crops consider the amount of garden space you have, along with veges you and your family enjoy eating and cooking with!
- Essential spring crops include: lettuce, spinach, beetroot, peas, spring onions, and fragrant herbs like coriander, basil and mint!
- Prepare your soil with organic matter like compost and sheep pellets.
- Add a layer of Tui Vegetable Mix to plant into.
- Feed regularly with Tui Vege & Herb Liquid SuperFood – supercharged for quick visible results and keep your veges well watered as they grow.
Dig in with our tomato grow guide
- Tomato planting starts from September, with Labour weekend being traditional tomato planting time.
- Select a tomato based on your taste and cooking preferences, along with the space you have.
