Think autumn is a time to kick back and take a break from the garden? Think again! Right now is actually when the groundwork is laid for next year’s lush, bountiful garden. Savvy gardeners know that fall prep is the ultimate secret to a successful season.
What should you do right now so your garden wakes up earlier and stronger come spring? 👇
1. Nourish the soil, not just the plants! The summer growing season has depleted plenty of nutrients from the soil. Now is the time to give back what belongs to your garden. Autumn fertilizers rich in potassium and phosphorus help plants prepare for winter and build stronger root systems.
2. Rescue your lawn from “hibernation” Autumn aeration and applying a dedicated fall lawn fertilizer are what make the difference between an average patch of grass and a truly dense green carpet come spring. Rake the leaves, aerate, and feed!
3. Plant a burst of spring color and new perennials Did you know that September and October are the best months to plant flower bulbs and new fruit trees? The soil is still warm, allowing roots to firmly establish themselves before the frost sets in.
4. Sow green manure Once your beds are cleared, don’t leave the soil bare for the winter! Sowing green manure (cover crops like mustard or clover) protects the soil from erosion and enriches it with natural nitrogen ready for spring.
5. Deep clean the greenhouse Give your greenhouse a thorough scrub-down to wipe out any overwintering pests and pathogens. Squeaky-clean glass or polycarbonate lets that early spring sun stream right in and start warming things up!
