August - September is a transitional season in Perth, with lots to do in the garden before the rains leave and the weather warms.

πŸͺ± Give your soil some love and prepare to plant your warmer weather annuals. Add mature compost, and any other amendments your soil might need. Might be worth testing your pH if you haven't in a while.

🌱Get summer crops like tomatoes, eggplant and melons started early by sowing indoors in seedling trays.

🌿 Use the nutrients from the weeds growing in your garden. Chop and drop before they go to seed, or toss them on your compost. Use an oscillating hoe or other gentle weeding tool to minimise disturbance to soil life.

πŸ‹ Protect new growth on your citrus trees from citrus gall wasp by using a kaolin spray. Hang traps to monitor populations of fruit fly. If you notice cabbage white butterflies as the weather warms, consider using netting to protect susceptible crops.

Enjoy the colour and beauty of Djilba! Happy gardening everyone. 🌷😍

Exciting one for the flower lovers πŸ’ If you've browsed our seed library in the past month, you may have spotted some of these pretty packets of flower seeds.

From Little Acorns Flower Farm, run by Megan and William Wallace, grow an eclectic mix of sustainable cut flowers down in Perup (about 20km from Manjimup in WA). Think dahlias, tea roses, chrysanthemums, bearded irises, scabiosa, lilies and peonies. Heavenly!! 🌷🌼

We are now stocking open-pollinated seed saved from the flower farm. Come and pick up a packet (or two or three!) for your garden. We currently have cornflower, scabiosa, chrysanthemum and blue sea holly among others in stock. Food for the pollinators and the human eyes! 🐝 😍

Hot tip from Jo! Pet waste shouldn't go to waste – compost it and build your soil life.

Organic matter (including pet waste) produces greenhouse gases when sent to landfill. We can easily avoid this by setting up a very simple in-ground composting system at home.

🐾 Choose a spot with good drainage, at least 1m from edible crops and phosphorus sensitive natives.
🐾 Bury the EnsoPet composter so the lid is flush with the ground.
🐾 Add your pet poo a little at a time, with a sprinkling of EnsoPet starter.
🐾 Give it a water whenever you water your garden to avoid drying out.
🐾 Keep adding bit by bit until 75% full, then let rest. Install another EnsoPet composter elsewhere in the garden, or dig out and move this one.

Safe, non-smelly and super simple. The starter bran will help speed up the composting process and kill off pathogens.

Find EnsoPet at Urban Revolution in store or online. And feel free to ask our friendly team any questions about composting pet poo! 🐢πŸͺ±

From July 2026 there have been changes to what's accepted in FOGO bins across WA. Now the messaging is: only food, garden and council-approved compost bags should be put in the FOGO bin.

πŸ€” What to do with all the compostable packaging, pet poo and other compostable items that are no longer accepted in the FOGO bin? Putting them in the red landfill bin leaves us with some serious problems:

πŸ‘‰ Organic matter sent to landfill contributes to global warming and other environmental issues. Rotting anaerobically (without oxygen) it releases greenhouse gases, primarily methane. As it breaks down, it mixes with heavy metals making a toxic sludge which can find its way into our waterways.
πŸ‘‰ Valuable resources are ending up in landfill. We shouldn't see organic matter as waste, but as resources that can be recycled and returned to the system.

The best solution? Set up your own home composting system. It can be super simple, and a highly effective way to process organic waste. Plus, a nice boost of nutrients for the soil too!

Get started with a Bokashi system, worm farm or a 'dalek' compost bin. Whatever space and time you have, there's a system that can work for you πŸͺ±

If you're new to composting, we have a bunch of helpful resources on our website (check the first comment for a beginner's guide). Or come along to our next home composting workshop in September.

August heralds the start of the Noongar season of Djilba here in Perth. A transitional season where we get to enjoy an explosion of wildflowers 🌼😍

There's still a small window of time for planting fruit trees and natives which will benefit from the last of the winter rains. 🌳🌧

Sow the last of your cold weather crops like broccoli and cabbage in August. Hardier year-round crops like beetroot, carrot, mustard and radish can be sown throughout Djilba.

Get a head start on summer crops like tomato, chilli and eggplant by starting seeds indoors until the soil warms up. πŸŒΆπŸ…

Many varieties of seed potato will do well now, and strawberries are a seasonal must πŸ₯” πŸ“

Herbs and flowers to sow this time of year include calendula, borage, dill, oregano and parsley. Don't forget your sunflowers! 🌻

Come browse our seed library for more inspiration. We have a huge range of heirloom and open pollinated seeds from WA suppliers.

Or if you're not sure what to plant, take a look at the Seasonal Seed Bundles on our website. Our team can handpick you a range of seeds ready for sowing now 🌱
