The end of the year is finally here. It’s time to put down the tools (mostly), fire up the BBQ, and enjoy some well-deserved time with family and friends.

Whether you are heading away to the beach or enjoying a staycation in the Bay, we hope you have a safe and relaxing break. You don’t want to spend your entire holiday working. Here is how to keep the garden tidy with minimal effort:
- Mow High: Raise your mower deck. Longer grass shades the soil, retaining moisture and staying greener during the heat. Plus, you can mow less often.
- Water Deeply, Less Often: Instead of a light sprinkle every day, give the lawn a good soak 1-2 times a week. This encourages deep root growth.
- Mulch: If you haven't already, throw some mulch on the veggie patch. It stops weeds and saves watering time.
If you need any last-minute supplies, pop in before we close. Otherwise, we look forward to seeing you in 2026!
Happy Holidays from the team at STIHL SHOP Tauranga.
