We are well into winter, and you might think that means the garden is going into
hibernation while you wait for spring to bring your plot back to life. But, not 
so fast. Just because there’s a chill in the air, that doesn’t mean you can’t start
planting some winter wonders to keep your garden full of life! 

So, what could you be planting this July? We’ve got plenty of helpful ideas, so 
let’s get stuck in.

## Preparing your garden for planting

Before you start planting, it is important to make sure that your garden is ready.
This means cleaning up any debris that may be left over from the spring/summer season
and preparing your soil to make sure it’s ready to support new growth. You can start
by clearing away any fallen foliage to minimise the chances of unwanted guests making
themselves at home. You may also want to spread some compost to add slow release
nutrients that can sustain your plants over time.

Healthy soil should be well-drained and have a good structure. With our [Humax](https://rd2.co.nz/?s=humax&post_type=product)
product, you can use the power of humic acid to provide more stability to the soil
and enhance its water retention. This will enable your plants to have better access
to nutrients.

## Feeding and protecting your plants

Once your soil has been prepared, and your seeds or seedlings are going into the
ground, give them the best chance of developing healthily with a Roots, Shoots and
Fruits[ planting bundle](https://rd2.co.nz/product/planting-bundle-rootella-superzyme-mobilizer/).
The [Planting Bundle](https://rd2.co.nz/product/planting-bundle-rootella-superzyme-mobilizer/)
contains beneficial bacteria and fungi and fulvic acid for soil health . The products
[Superzyme](https://rd2.co.nz/product/superzyme-2/), [Rootella](https://rd2.co.nz/product/mycorrhizal-fungi-rootella-t-garden-20-t-bag-organic/)
and [Mobilizer](https://rd2.co.nz/product/mobilizer-2/) will help your plants right
from germination or as seedlings. 

[Superzyme](https://rd2.co.nz/product/superzyme-2/) can be applied to seeds for 
better germination and survival rate, as well as promoting strong roots which are
essential for plants to withstand adverse weather conditions. Superzyme also has
a probiotic effect on the soil, which helps to prevent disease. 

Much of the produce you may be planting in winter, including carrots, garlic and
onions or fruit trees are especially responsive to Mycorrhizal fungi – Rootella 
helps to ensure strong, healthy root structures and therefore  quality fruits and
vegetables with increased disease resistance. 

[Mobilizer](https://rd2.co.nz/product/mobilizer-2/) will unlock locked up minerals
in the soil, especially difficult to obtain Phosphorus, and iron during these colder
temperatures plus the trace minerals plants and us humans require for optimum health.

your garden a breath of new life. There’s plenty you could be planting from fruits
to flowers. And whatever you decide to take on, Roots, Shoots and Fruits is here
