National Tree Day, Sunday 31 July, has a goal of planting one million trees and encouraging all of us to take care of our planet and live sustainably.
While there will be community planting events around the country, many of us will choose to enhance our own garden by planting a fruit tree or two – the stand-out benefits being home-grown, organic produce plus the opportunity to bring colour, birds, bees and other fauna to the area.
JACK, the new specialist DIY brand of gardening and horticultural support- products, has released a number of accessories that will contribute to our fruit tree planting in the most sustainable way – by using planet-friendly, sustainable materials to support and protect our new trees – no plastic or PVC!
Jute Webbing, made from natural fibres and totally biodegradable, provides strong and durable support for young trees, yet is gentle on slender trunks and young bark. Alternatively, JACK has Traditional Cloth Ties made from recycled soft fabrics that often end up in landfill. Available in 40m lengths, it can be cut to the required size.
Tree rings are another excellent means of protecting small or young trees planted in gardens and lawns. The JACK Oxy-Shield® Tree Ring – both a practical and a very beautiful addition to the garden – uses durable, long-lasting steel, avoiding plastic altogether. Made from a specially formulated landscaping steel, it develops a rich, earthy patina with a rust-like appearance. With similar properties to stainless steel, it oxidises and forms a surface coating that is resistant to corrosion and flaking. A built-in interlocking system ensures easy installation around the tree.
The JACK brand of garden and horticultural support products is committed to inspiring everyone to embrace growing and cultivating, both indoors and out. Its vast range of products is aimed squarely at the DIY-er – all are designed for Australian conditions and are of the highest quality.
The brand also regularly produces expert advice on all aspects of gardening and growing – as well as inspiration for DIY projects – go to whitesgroup.com.au (the dedicated JACK site will launch 1 August 2022).
JACK products are available nationally from all major hardware stores, including Bunnings, Mitre 10, Home Timber and Hardware, and HBT (Hardware + Building Traders).
CW has 4 x JACK tree care prize packs to be won, valued at $55.97 each, comprising Oxy-Shield® Interlocking Tree Ring, biodegradable JACK Jute Webbing 33m x 50mmW, and JACK Traditional Cloth Tie 40m.
