OUR MONTHLY GARDENING GUIDES
JOBS FOR September
The seasons are changing! Although the weather is getting cooler and the days are getting shorter, September is the perfect time to plant and give your garden a good tidy ready for the colder months ahead! Check out the hints and tips our team of garden experts have recommended for you to do this month in your garden!
TIDY YOUR BORDERS
Autumn provides an ideal opportunity to give your borders a good tidy. Dig up annuals, remove any weeds and spread compost or well-rotted manure over the soil to insulate plant roots!
START PRUNING
Prune your shrubs and trees now to avoid them losing shape when the winter gales and heavy frosts set in. Not only will they come back stronger next year but will allow you to remove any damage or disease before it spreads to the rest of your garden.
PROTECT WILDLIFE
Offer refuge for garden birds through the winter by providing a healthy supply of food and water. Feed our feathery friends with a high energy diet including soft crumb mix and suet balls over the coming months and reap the rewards with a wildlife haven in your garden.
SHOW YOUR LAWN SOME LOVE
Start by giving your lawn a good rake to get rid of fallen leaves, moss and other debris. A great technique to get rid of moss is to aerate your lawn – this is a simple technique that creates air pockets that will help remove moss and encourage route growth!
START PRUNING
Prune your shrubs and trees now to avoid them losing shape when the winter gales and heavy frosts set in. Not only will they come back stronger next year but will allow you to remove any damage or disease before it spreads to the rest of your garden.
REVIVE YOUR LAWN
Give your lawn a pick-me-up and prepare it for winter by feeding it with Aftercut All-in-One Autumn. This will help your lawn recover from the summer stress and replace the nutrients removed by mowing. Itʼs the best time to overseed, as the warm soil temperatures create ideal conditions for germination!
