Daughter no 2 is having some trees taken out of the garden (lge hawthorn) & some landscaping done. They are going to plant camelias amongst other things. As there is no water butt is this a good idea. Did I see on here that if the water is soft it is OK to water with tap water. Shirlton is your water soft?
If you use tap water add some "miracid" once a month... we do that for our lime haters including the camelias... you loose next years flowers if it dries out in August/September... :)
