The most important thing you need to do for the maintenance of the autumn garden is to enjoy your garden before winter. Prepare to say hello to a cooler and rainy weather with September as the hot weather is history at that moment. Of course, do not forget to prepare the plants in your garden for this new home!
- Prepare your garden for winter.
The most important thing to do during autumn garden maintenance is to increase the resistance of plants and grass and prepare them for winter. Continue spraying and fertilizing programs during these months. - Take care of your garden and do its maintenance.
Your priority should be the removal of seedlings from the summer and the cultivation of the soil for new planting. After the seedlings have been removed, let the soil rest for a week, hoe and plant new seedlings. - Make room for plants.
If there are new plants to be placed in the garden, you can prepare their places. The soil will be processed more easily with the rain. During the autumn garden care, ventilate the soil and make room for new plants. - Check the infrastructure.
If new turf is to be built, have infrastructure applications such as drainage, irrigation system is to be re-commissioned or optional repairs/checks should be made. - Irrigation and fertilization.
Spraying and fertilizing. Pesticide and fertilization should be continued according to plants’ needs
- Continue irrigation.
In September and October, do not interrupt irrigation with rainfall. The amount of precipitation may not be sufficient to meet the needs of plants. Therefore reduce the irrigation but do not stop it entirely.
- Doing measured nutritional supplements.
All plants will have new shoots before winter and these shoots will continue to grow over a 2-month period. Therefore, it is necessary to make nutritional supplements according to the needs of plants prepared for winter. Fertilization should be carried out according to the needs of plants or grass. This process also increases the nutritional value of your soil. Since plenty of water is required for fertilizer to enter the soil, we recommend fertilizing on a rainy day. If rainfall is not enough, you will need to irrigate separately - Autumn is the best time to plant seedlings.
Do not forget to plant new seedlings in your garden. If you have surface pruning that is missing during these months, it is the time. You can plant the bulbs of bulbous plants that bloom in spring. - Complete your missing equipment.
Other than all of this, the process that will distract you the most will be to collect the dried leaves regularly. To this end, you can use leaf pickers or the traditional rake or range.
