Nourish indoor plants and leafy greens
The Nourish plant food range from Talborne Organics is food for plants made from plants, so it’s 100% organic. Made from potato and sugar beet extracts, the products have natural amino acids to promote growth and strengthen plants for the best results. Nourish Leafy Greens has high levels of nitrogen to promote the formation of plant tissue and chlorophyll, which gives the plants more energy and stimulates the development of green leafy plants, indoor plants, lawns and groundcovers. Simply mix with water and apply to the leaves or soil of the plants and watch the magic unfold.
Mini Hose Hanger Kit
The Garden Gro Mini Hose Hanger kit is perfect for small spaces like courtyards, patios and balconies. It comes with a 10m hosepipe and includes a tap connector to quickly and easily start watering. It also features a 7-pattern hand spray gun and packs away into a compact hanger for easy storage. Look out for these at your local nursery or garden centre.
Two-Step SC herbicide
Protek’s Two-Step SC is a suspension concentrate systemic and residual herbicide for pre- and post-emergence control of a wide spectrum of annual and perennial broadleaf weeds and grasses in urban areas and other industrial sites. Two-Step has a long residual action and can control weeds up to 6 months, which makes it ideal for fences, curbs etc. Optimum results are achieved when Two-Step SC is applied on target weeds growing actively, free of environmental stress factors such as drought and unusual temperature fluctuations. Two-Step SC is available in 500ml, 1-litre and 5-litre containers.
Give Dad a gift he can use
The STIHL GTA 26 cordless chainsaw is versatile, compact and manoeuvrable making it ideal for pruning, cutting up branches for firewood and wood-based DIY projects and home upgrades.

Rotary Mower and Tool Sharpener
This new, faster-sharpening corundum wheel re-sharpens all types of metal rotary blades and re-edges garden tools. The high quality angled corundum wheel produces sharp new cutting edges on rotary mower blades in minutes. The wheel is reversible to give around 10 re-sharpenings, which allows for many years of use. It fits any domestic drill including cordless drills. Along with rotary blades, it can also be used to put back a keen edge on spades, hoes, lawn edgers and axes, making them much easier to use.
