Autumn Is the Best Time to Prepare Garden Soil for New Plants
Overview
Autumn is a great time to start thinking about new flowers, groundcovers, and plants for the coming growing season.
Overview
The road to success begins with a solid foundation. Because it is easier to improve soil before planting, now is the time to do so.
Overview
Remove any unwanted plants from the area first. Next, conduct a pH test to determine how acidic or basic the soil is.
Overview
Agriculture limestone raises pH, while products such as aluminium sulphate or sulphur lower it.
Overview
Fallen autumn leaves are also beneficial to gardens. Keep a few in your garden beds and borders.
Overview
Cover the compost with 5 to 8 centimetres of small pieces of wood or mulch to prevent unwanted plants from growing and to moderate soil temperature and wetness over the winter.
Overview
The garden will reward your efforts with healthy growth, beautiful flowers, and abundant vegetables. They will also be healthier and more resistant to pathogens and diseases.
