Fall Garden Essential Tasks 🍁🍂
Here are the essential tasks you need to tackle this Fall.
Clear garden using leaf rake or blower 🍃
Fallen leaves can smother grass and garden beds, leading to potential issues with mold and pests.
Autumn is a great time to start composting fallen leaves and garden waste. Composting turns organic material into valuable soil amendments.
Mulch helps protect plant roots from frost and keeps soil moist.
Best Mulches: Straw, shredded leaves, or wood chips. Apply a 2-4 inch layer around plants and garden beds.
Soil Testing Kit 🧭
Testing your soil in the fall can help you make adjustments before planting in the spring.
Protective Plant Covers 🪴
Covering plants with row covers or frost blankets can protect them from early frosts and harsh winter conditions.
Fall Fertilizer 🌱
Fertilizing in the fall helps plants build up reserves for the winter and promotes strong growth in the spring.
