CRAIGS MONTHLY TIPS

October

Craig talks us through his top tips for this month.
  1. Last chance to mow lawns and trim hedging. We're now heading into the wetter months of the year, so if we can't a bit of dry weather, make use of it!
  2. Reduce house plant watering. Your house plants won't be need as much attention as the cooler air comes in.
  3. Move less hardy plants into greenhouses of conservatories. Many plants can't put up with the cold, wet conditions of our winters so make sure they are in a suitable environment.
  4. Divide your herbaceous perennials - another great way to get more plants for free! It also helps to ensure the plants are healthy and continue to perform well year on year.
  5. Cut back plants that have died down. Perennials are not demanding plants, but trimming them after flowering finishes in autumn helps improve their appearance and flowering.
