What flowering shrubs are suitable for coastal gardens?
Coastal gardens in Old Bar benefit from flowering shrubs that are salt-tolerant and wind-resistant. Great options include hibiscus, bottlebrush, oleander, and coastal rosemary. These plants add colour while withstanding tough conditions. Planting in groups, using mulch, and applying slow-release fertiliser can help maintain health and bloom frequency.
Can I grow fruit trees near the coast?
Yes, but it’s important to choose varieties that can handle salt and wind exposure. Citrus trees, especially lemon and lime, are popular for coastal gardens. Passionfruit vines and dwarf avocado trees also do well with some protection. Planting windbreaks or placing fruit trees in sheltered spots will improve their performance in coastal areas like Old Bar.
What’s the best way to prepare soil in coastal areas?
Coastal soils often lack organic matter and may drain too quickly. To improve soil health, incorporate compost, aged manure, and organic mulch. This enhances water retention, supports soil microbes, and improves structure. In sandy soils common to Old Bar, soil conditioners like bentonite clay or biochar can also help increase moisture-holding capacity and nutrient availability.
