MORE AUTUMN JOBS


JOBS TO DO IN NOVEMBER

Plant trees and shrubs. Now is a great time for getting bare rooted stock from the suppliers. Trees that cost a fortune in pots can be bought for a fraction of the price in bare rooted bundles.
Cover up any new beds with black plastic or old carpets, this will help get a clean bed for planting in the spring.


Finish planting spring flowering bulbs.


Clean and put away tools and machinery. Smear tools with old oil to stop rust setting in.
Trim back climbers that are growing on your house wall such as ivy. They look lovely but you do not want them growing through the windows!

Lastly, don't forget about your animal companions. Pets outside, such as rabbits and guinea pigs should be given lots of straw in their box hutches or placed into a garage for warmth.
