How-To's & GuidesPreparing Your Garden for Winter - The Complete Guide
At this time of year, most gardens are on the verge of entering winter dormancy. But just because things are starting to slow down and get ready to enjoy a well-deserved rest, doesn't mean that the same is true for you. Winter can be a brutal time for your grass, plants and soil; so a helping hand is needed if you want it to thrive come spring.
With everything falling into a deep slumber, your usual, everyday garden chores such as mowing, trimming, feeding and watering will take a back seat. The great thing about autumn and winter gardening is that you get to reset the clock and guide your landscape in the direction you want. Last year's hot-bed can be next year's veggie patch and overgrown trees can be brought down to size.
Here are some things you can do to prepare your garden for winter and make the most of the crisp, fresh air.
