Our last remaining sunflower still hanging on after the frosts this weekTime Saving Tip. Set the cutters of the lawn mower high and use it to collect leaves off the lawn. It’s quicker than brushing them up.
Bedding plants: Remove annual bedding plants and add them to the compost heap. Tidy up raking off all the debris and weeds. Fork the ground over and either plant for a winter show or leave the soil rough to allow the frost to kill pests in the soil.
Keep it clean: Remember garden hygiene at this time of year - regular clearance of fallen leaves and debris will do much to prevent the spread of disease and the overwintering of pests, so reducing problems the following year.
Peas and beans: When clearing old pea and bean plants, simply cut the tops off for the compost heap, and dig the roots into the soil. They return valuable nitrogen to the earth, acting as a natural fertiliser.
