AUTUMN Garden Maintenance

Autumn is a spectacular time in the garden with rich harvest and an abundance of colour. A few tips and tricks will help to keep your gardan in top shape and prepare it for the cold months ahead.

Clean up

Spring and summer brings an abundance of growth and by autumn many plants and flowers have begun to die down. It is a great time to prune, dig up spring bulbs and of course rake up all of those leaves that are likely to be falling all over the garden.

Compost and mulch

Now is the time to spread your compost throughout the garden and mulch plants ahead of the cold winter months.

Move

Late autumn is a good time to assess which plants and pots may need to move to a different location ahead of winter. Start planning frost cover and storage of dormant bulbs.

Water

The cooler autumn days will mean your garden requires less water than during the summer months. It is is great time to invest in a water tank that can be used to collect water throughout the wet winter months to water your garden in the summer.
