Garden Maintenance in Autumn

You have to take care of your garden during the autumn months and this is a very important thing to be kept in your mind. Autumn is, perhaps, the busiest period in which we have to spend more time on maintaining the garden and these efforts will save loads of your time in the coming spring. Here are some basic ideas and tips to be followed by you, in maintaining your garden, during autumn. You should also take care not to walk on the grass when there is frost on it. Now get ready with your garden blower.

Tips to be followed in Steps
To begin with you have to remove the plants that are dead, from your garden. These plants, survived during the warm summer months and now, they have withered on the ground. The removal of these dead plants will give a fresh look to your garden, at present. While you are in the process of removing these plants, you can go on planting new plants and vegetables in your garden. You should be sure enough, that the new plants will withstand freezing conditions, but you think of providing some cover on the plants during the night-time.

Now you have removed the dead plants from the garden, the next step is to clear the garden from the leaves that were shed by the trees, using a garden blower. This process has to continue for a few months, as the trees will lose their leaves during that period. Now you should remove the built up, that is beneath the grass, and this should be done in a straight pattern. Now your lawn may become too short because of this, but you are going to be fertilising and seeding in the lawn, so that the lawn will improve soon.

Now you have to clean the garden and remove entire unwanted things that have accumulated in your garden due to the above operations with the help of the blower and lawn rake. Then fertilise your lawn starting from the edge and ensure even coating across the whole area. Then make the area moist by watering the garden fully. If necessary, you have to apply seeding again, if you see any bare or yellow patches even after fertilisation process.

Now it is time to set right your sprinkling system and you have to wrap it well. During winter, you have to water the garden lawn by hand using detachable hose pipe which will help to prevent from freezing.
