Easy Steps to Fall Garden Clean-up
As we get closer and closer to winter, it’s time to place your lawn into hibernation until next spring. Here are a few tips to get you started.
If you have any sensitive potted plants in your garden, you’ll want to move them indoors or to a warmer environment. In the Spring, you can move them back and they’ll be ready to go. If you don’t do this, you may discover that they failed to survive the harsh winter. You’ll then have no choice but to invest more money for an entire new set of plants.
Look for your damaged or broken tree branches and trim them. Also trim the ones that are too close to the home. Failure to do so has the possibility of them coming down at the most inopportune time during a winter storm, possibly doing extensive damage to your car or home.
Seed the bare spots in your lawn. Give the seeds a chance to root themselves before the frost comes. After a period of hibernation, they’ll be climatized to your garden and can start to grow right away. They will also have strong roots and be ready to survive attacks from weeds and insects as the spring season begins. For a fast start you can use inexpensive zoysia grass plugs or available Scotts grass seed reviews.
Do your last weeding for the year. The last thing you want do do is to let your weeds lay dormant in your garden over the winter months. If you make this mistake, you’ll be giving them an unnecessary head start over your other garden plants come springtime. Weeds have a good enough advantage as it is. No need to give them more.
Lastly, either cover the furniture in your garden area or store it in your garage or other storage area. Snow and cold have a habit of rusting garden furniture.
