November Garden Check List
November’s Checklist
So shortly winter will be here and there will be a few things to prepare in the garden.
Here are some simple tips to get you ready:
- Improve your soil – Improving the soil with plenty of organic matter in the form of compost helps drainage and aeration on heavy soils and conserves essential moisture on light ones.
- Clear up fallen leaves – especially from lawns, ponds and beds.
- Raise containers onto pot feet to prevent water logging.
- Prune roses to prevent wind – rock.
- Plant out winter bedding.
- Insulate outdoor containers from frost – bubble wrap works well.
- Don’t forget about the birds! Put bird food out to encourage the birds into the garden.
- Repair and treat fencing and timber structures.
- Bring all watering equipment indoors.
