Keep your

By Gareth Carter

This is our late summer period and many gardens reach their full beauty.

Hydrangeas are now past their best, but roses and silk trees are blooming.

Flower beds and borders are rich in colour with summer flowers in bloom.

English lavenders produce another flush of purple-blue flowers, summer lilies give off a delicious scent, many roses will produce another flush of flowers and grace many a garden with a blaze of colour.

Bedding plants or annuals are at their best and brightest and the orange and yellow marigolds and all colours of petunias, lobelia and geraniums brighten borders, containers and hanging baskets.

Some gardens also grow nicotiana (tobacco plant) just for their evening scent. Another flower at its best now is the tropical impatiens with bright red, pink and white flowers making a stunning display.

Often at this time of the year gaps can appear in borders. Planting a selection of perennials that flower later in the summer will help keep the borders bright.

Climbers such as clematis, honeysuckle and pandoreas, envelope fences and scramble up pergolas, trellises and over arches, to offer privacy and seclusion.

Roses require attention at this time.

Spent blooms should be removed during the flowering season to prevent the formation of seed heads, a waste of the plant’s energy.

When flowers or spent blooms are cut, a reasonable length of stem should be removed. New shoots have generally started to develop on the old flower stem and a clean cut should be made just above one of these.

GARDEN BLOOMING

New growth will come away quickly, resulting in more flowers. It is a good time to feed roses using Yates Dynamic Lifter, Novatec or Tui Rose Food.

Applying mulch to the soil during summer will help conserve moisture and keep the soil cooler; it will also reduce weed growth. It is best to apply mulch after the area has been thoroughly watered and cultivated.

If your soil has acidic tendencies or if heavy dressings of organic materials are applied annually, then a light application of lime will be of benefit.

Make sure the fertiliser contains potash — it helps to harden growth and makes the plants less susceptible to disease.

Potash will aid flowering and may help to intensify colour in the flowers.

Keep an eye out for pests and diseases on roses. Maintain regular sprays to control aphids, rust and blackspot. A good spray is Compat 3 in 1 for Roses, a combination spray containing insecticide, fungicide and a natural fish fertiliser with minerals and trace elements.

February is the first of the bulb planting months. In stores soon will be new season’s ranunculus and anemones in mixed and individual colours as well

as crocus, hyacinths and a number of daffodil bulbs.

They are excellent for borders, garden edges, pots and tubs as well as great to grow as a cut flower. Ranunculus corms resemble a claw which must be planted downwards 3-4cm deep in a sunny, well-drained position.

Blooms come in reds, rose, golds, lemon, yellow, white, etc, in doubles on strong 30-50cm stems. They are very effective planted in bold clumps 6-8cm apart, as ribbon borders in pots, or as cut flowers.

Anemone corms will display brilliant single or double flowers in full colour during mid-winter to late spring.

Plant 3-4cm deep and 10-15cm apart, making sure that the flat part of the corm is uppermost. Best in a cool spot if planting now. They look great when planted between roses.

Anemones and ranunculus can be difficult to germinate. They should be chilled for 5-6 weeks in the fridge (not freezer), then soaked in fresh running water for 10-12 hours prior to planting.

Reports for propertythe risks If you’ve been to an open home recently, or been browsing the ‘for sale’ adverts, you might have noticed that some sellers put together information packs for potential buyers.

These sellers will know that researching a property takes time and money, and they don’t want this to be a barrier to a successful sale.

They believe that providing information like a LIM (a Land Information Memorandum from the local council) and a building inspection report can help busy people get an offer on the table. This is great in theory, but you need to tread carefully all the same.

If, for example, a real estate agent or seller gives you a LIM for the property, check carefully when it was prepared.

A LIM is a summary of all the current property information held by the different departments at a council at the time.

It contains details of council consents for any work done, how much the rates are and information on any geographic hazards that might have an impact on the property, such as subsidence.

Bear in mind that this information can be reasonably general – the LIM for most houses in Wellington will say that they’re located in a high wind area, for example. If the LIM is dated a couple of weeks ago, it’s safe to assume it’s reasonably up to date. If it’s dated a year ago, it’s a good idea to make further enquiries. Getting a LIM costs money in most areas (prices vary from council to council).

You can also ask to see the property file held by the council, which holds other information about a property, like a site map and original house plans.

Building reports are a bit trickier.

Using a building report provided by the seller (or the real estate agent working for them) may seem like an easy option in the short term.

However, if you buy the property and then find problems with it that cost a significant amount to fix, you’re not protected by the building report because the inspector’s contract is with the seller, not you.

The Real Estate Authority (REA) recommends using an accredited property inspector who complies with the New Zealand building inspection standard 4306:2005. Their written report will identify any current defects as well as highlight any urgent and long-term maintenance required.

Look for someone who has a good level of indemnity insurance, as this will protect you if you buy the property and then find you need to fix something that wasn’t in the report.

Building inspections do come at a cost, but we think it’s worth it to be sure that you’re fully aware of what you’re signing up for. Depending on the age of the house you’re looking at don’t necessarily expect a thin report saying there are no issues. Many wooden houses in New Zealand are over 50 years old and there will be things the inspector needs to point out.

Make sure you understand what normal age-related matters are (that may not be major issues), compared to significant repairs needed in the short term to fix a problem. The report you receive should separate these things out–if it doesn’t, then ask the inspector about the difference.

If you end up with a report with a lot of information about the property it doesn’t mean you should walk away.

Instead, see it as giving you the opportunity to know what you’re buying. Doing this before you make an offer means you are fully aware of what the property may need to have done to it and your offer figure can reflect that.

However, if you don’t feel comfortable paying for a building report before you make an offer, you can make a property inspection a condition of your offer. Like most things in life, buying a property will go more smoothly if you put the work in. If a short cut seems too good to be true, it usually is.
