Autumn Gardening

Autumn is upon us, and with the mild wet weather we have been experiencing, now is the time to get out into the garden, cut down tired and old plants and remove dead leaves. It is also the ideal time to give the earth a turnover, and if you have been composting over the summer months, a light dressing of either leaf or garden compost will greatly revive sun parched soil.
Of course, the mild damp weather brings another thug into the garden - weeds - So now is the time to remove as many as possible before they have the chance to take hold, or the soil becomes too wet to work with.
However, weeds aside, now is the time to trim hedges, shrubs and bushes and start planning your winter borders and vegetable patch.
