Create A Magical Kids Garden

Prepare your garden bed by controlling unwanted weeds with Yates® Nature's Way® Organic Weed Spray. 

Before you plant, you need to prepare your garden by removing unwanted weeds. Weeds will compete with your new plants for valuable nutrients and water. One of the easiest and quickest ways to control weeds in garden beds is to spray with Yates® Nature's Way® Organic Weed Spray. This certified organic weed spray is based on two natural ingredients – clove oil and acetic acid – which work together quickly to dehydrate and kill weeds. Simply spray for visible results within 1 hour on most weeds.

Use the Yates Seed Finder to know what you can plant now.

Protect your garden from nasty pests with Yates® Nature's Way® Vegie and Herb Spray

Your new vegie & herb garden will be a feast for unwanted pests including aphids.  Aphids are small green, brown or black coloured insects that hide under foliage, and deplete your new plants by sucking the sap from leaves and stems.  Aphids can be controlled by spraying with Yates® Nature's Way® Vegie and Herb Spray.  Certified organic, it's a natural soap based spray that smothers and suffocates aphids on contact. Best of all it has no withholding period so you can simply wash and eat your produce after spraying. Spray every five to seven days and be sure to spray underneath leaves as this is where aphids can hide.
