April is a transitional month as summer crops finish and preparations for winter planting begin. Here are the best gardening practices for April, incorporating Super Charger Pellets—a powerful blend of blood and bone, chicken manure, sheep manure, and humate which will improve soil health and plant growth.
Why Use Super Charger Pellets?
- Balanced Nutrition – The mix of blood and bone, chicken manure, and sheep manure provides slow-release nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium for long-term plant health.
- Improves Soil Structure – Humate enhances soil aeration, increases water-holding capacity, and stimulates beneficial microbes.
- Boosts Plant Growth – Ideal for vegetables, fruit trees, lawns, and compost, ensuring strong root systems and vigorous growth.
- Winter-Ready Soil – Prepares soil for optimal nutrient retention over the colder months.
Soil Preparation
- April is the perfect time to replenish soil nutrients before winter planting.
- Apply Super Charger Pellets by scattering them over garden beds and lightly working them into the soil.
- The humate in the pellets helps boost microbial activity, improve nutrient absorption, and enhance soil structure.
- Add mulch (straw, compost, or bark) to retain moisture and protect soil life.
Planting for Winter Harvest
- April is ideal for planting cool-season crops such as: Leafy greens: Lettuce, spinach, Silverbeet, kale. Brassicas: Broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, brussels sprouts.
- Root crops: Carrots, beetroot, parsnips, turnips.
- Alliums: Garlic, onions, shallots.
- Legumes: Peas and broad beans—to fix nitrogen in the soil.
- * Tip: Before planting, dig in Super Charger Pellets to support root development and give plants a strong start.
Fruit Tree & Perennial Care
- Apply Super Charger Pellets around fruit trees (citrus, feijoas, apples, pears) to replenish nutrients after summer fruiting.
- Cut back dead growth on perennials like rhubarb and asparagus and apply pellets + mulch to protect roots.
- Prune berry canes (raspberries, boysenberries) and feed with pellets to encourage strong growth for next season.
Compost & Soil Health
- April is a great time to turn compost and add Super Charger Pellets to enrich microbial life.
- Mix pellets into compost bins or worm farms to accelerate breakdown and add essential minerals.
- Cover crops (like mustard, lupins, or clover) can be planted in empty beds to improve soil nitrogen levels.
Final Tip:
April is about nurturing the soil and preparing for winter crops. Using Super Charger Pellets now will set up your garden for strong winter growth and a bountiful spring! 🌱🌿
