CRAIGS MONTHLY TIPS

October

Craig talks us through his top tips for this month.

 

  1. Collect seeds! What's not to love about free plants. Now is a great time to harvest seeds from many plants in the garden.
  2. Check your house plant watering. A chill is now in the air and you may be putting your heating on. This will dry the air and your house plants soil. Be sure to keep an eye out and adjust as you go!
  3. Plant spring flowering bulbs. Looking for some colour in spring time, now is the best time to prep for the seasons ahead. 
  4. Got a pond? Make sure you're continually clearing it of any debris and algae. You may also want to install a net over it to stop any falling leaves.
  5. Another way to get plants for free - divide them! 
  6. Final grass cutting of the year. The wetter months are here! You might still be able to get on more cutting of the grass before winter arrives.
  7. Move less hardy plants into your greenhouse. The temperatures will be dropping as the month goes on. Be sure to protect your less hardy plants by wrapping them or moving them into shelter.
