1. Take care of your lawn - mowing and fertilizing
The lawn requires proper care before winter, autumn is the last moment to mow the grass. After the last mowing, apply fertilizers that will strengthen the grass roots and increase its resistance to frost.
2. Collecting leaves
Autumn is primarily about falling leaves, which add charm to the garden, but on the other hand, too much of them can harm the grass and plants. It is worth collecting them regularly to prevent the grass from rotting.
3. Pruning plants and shrubs
Be sure to prune any bushes or plants that need it. Thanks to pruning, the plants will maintain their health and beautiful shape, which will allow them to grow and bloom better next season.
4. Cleaning up the pond
If you have a pond in your garden, September and October is the time to prepare it for winter. Remove dead parts of aquatic plants and other debris, e.g. falling leaves. And if you have fish in your pond, be sure to install an aerator.
5. Last harvest and preparation of the vegetable garden
For vegetable garden owners, autumn is the time of the last harvest. Harvest remaining vegetables such as beets, carrots and pumpkins. After harvesting, dig up the soil to better prepare it for next spring.
Autumn in the garden is a time of intense and at the same time satisfying work. Thanks to the above activities, your garden will be healthy and ready to survive frosts. A thermos of tea, warm shoes and a loan to finance your purchases will allow you to take care of your garden and enjoy the beautiful space around your house in spring.
