Garden Jobs for October

When autumn arrives, the beautiful colours of falling leaves can quickly become a nuisance on your lawn. The simplest method of clearing leaves off the lawn is to run over them with a lawn mower. The cutting action of the mower blades will help to shred the leaves and make them quicker to rot down.
During mild periods, weeds thrive due to the combination of warmth and moisture in the soil. This allows them to establish strong root systems and compete with your desired plants for nutrients and water. By removing weeds promptly, you can prevent them from taking over your garden.
Make sure that the glass and polythene of your plant-growing structures are clean. By keeping these surfaces free of dirt, dust, and grime, you can significantly increase the amount of light that reaches your plants, ultimately leading to healthier and more vibrant growth
Now is the perfect time to add a burst of colour to your outdoor space with bedding plants and spring-flowering bulbs. If you haven't already planted some containers with spring colour, don't worry!
As the temperatures drop and the first frost approaches, it's crucial to take action to protect your tender plants from potential damage. There's still plenty of time to plant now and enjoy a vibrant garden throughout the season.
