Carolyn’s Tips for Sweet, Sweet Citrus
Carolyn’s citrus is more than just fruitful; it’s a masterclass in sun, soil, and serenity. With a little strategy and a lot of Seasol, she’s turned her backyard into a citrus sanctuary bursting with flave – that’s short for flavour.
TIP 1: LET IT SHINE
Citrus trees are total sun-chasers and Carolyn knows it. She gives hers a daily dose of 6–8 hours of uninterrupted sunshine. No shade, no stress. Just a prime sunny spot and a fortnightly splash of Seasol, keeping those leaves lush and the fruit bursting with flave.
TIP 2: GIRLS’ GOTTA EAT
Great fruit starts with great soil. Carolyn feeds her citrus crew with rich compost, wriggly worms, and a hit of PowerFeed PRO SERIES Plant Food Fruit & Citrus. It’s the full buffet for bumper, juicy crops. For next-level underground magic, she swears by Seasol Super Soil Improver because roots and soil deserve luxury too.
TIP 3: KEEP IT CLEAN
Carolyn’s citrus grove? Drama-free. She mulches like royalty, keeps weeds in check, and runs regular pest patrols. Her trees stay calm, collected, and thriving.
