October Gardening Tips
1. Fall leaves are free for the raking! Leaves are a natural free compost, soil additive and insulation for the garden and now is the time to start collecting them. Collect leaves regularly, especially in grass areas. If you have a mulching lawn mower with a bag - use it to run over the pile of leaves and collect them to spread them on the garden. If you can't mulch the leaves, rake them onto the garden for the winter and dig them through the soil in the spring.
2. This is the time of year to top up your mulch around your shrubs. Add about 1" every year to replace that which has rotted down.
3. Turn your compost heaps to re- oxygenate them and get them going again. If you turn them now and once again before it freezes, you can still have compost to use by next spring. |
