Autumn is here and there is plenty to do in the garden! This week, hear Keith and Elisabeth’s suggestions on what to get done in the garden this Autumn.
- Pruning and deadhead perennials such as hydrangeas, salvias, lavender etc
- Prune espalier apples and citrus
- Rejuvenate your soil after summer with a broad fork (Keith recommends F.D Ryan's) before adding Rooster Booster, Clyde's Compost, Clyde’s lignite along with a liquid fertiliser like Charlie Carp or Power Feed
- Feed citrus - try Harry's Citrus Food or Neutrog Gyganics
- Tomatoes are finishing up and will need to be removed
- Plant garlic cloves - 50mm in Vic, 100mm in warmer climates
- Sow brassica seeds - broccoli, cabbage, cauliflowers etc
- Dividing and propagating perennials including Japanese windflowers, dahlias, salvias, sedum, grasses, oakleaf hydrangea
- Grow from cuttings - snip off just below a root node, dip into rooting powder and put into pot (or water)
- Broadfork your lawn and feed with Rooster Booster and keep lawn high until winter months
- Plant bulbs - daffodils, hyacinths, jonquils, irises etc. Plant close together for maximum impact. Underplant
- Autumn leaves are a great carbon addition in the compost.
Enjoy the glorious colours of Autumn and the cooler working weather!
