Autumn heralds not only the end of the glorious period of sunshine, but also the arrival of a very long and cold winter season, which is often not conducive to flower gardens. What works are there to be scheduled in the fall?
Summer is an opportunity for me to invite friends, as well as relatives and we meet regularly around a country lunch, or even a good barbecue at the end of the evening, especially to enjoy my magnificent lawn. The secret ? I do annual maintenance work on my lawn in the fall, to better prepare it for winter.
The goal of course is to ensure that the lawn regains its magnificent green color from the start of spring and that this continues throughout the summer period. As the lawn will be dormant, that is to say that its growth will be very slow, I plan to mow it in October. As a result, the lawn preserves all its moisture and avoids drying out throughout the winter season.
Fall will also be the time to fertilize the lawn, so that the recovery is most magnificent in March. For my part, I mainly use autumn fertilizer, which is particularly rich in nutrient components and rich in nitrogen and potassium.
From the beginning of autumn, the leaves of trees and plants gradually fall, especially for deciduous vegetation. It is therefore the ideal moment that I choose to do some cleaning in the beds, flowerbeds and flowerbeds, without forgetting to rid the hedges of dead leaves. At the same time, I also take the opportunity to trim the hedge, as well as to cut the stems of the withering trees.
In the event that areas of the garden are invaded by weeds, do not hesitate to clear brush, then plow the uncultivated parts, to already prepare them for the planting season of next year. As far as the protection of plants against the cold is concerned, the most fragile and sensitive ones will need to be wrapped in plastic film or bubble wrap.
Also bring indoors those in pots. Moreover, autumn is also the ideal time to plant shrubs and perennials.
