• Scarify then aerate your lawn before applying a specific autumn lawn feed. Raise the blades on your mower. You can keep cutting your lawn as long as it is still growing. Now is
the ideal time to plant a new lawn from either seed or turf, or to repair any damaged patches.
• As leaves fall on your lawn, rake them up or use a leaf blower to remove them. If left, the leaves can damage the grass beneath.
• Protect fences and sheds over winter by giving them a coat of paint whilst the weather remains dry and warm.
• Cover ponds with netting to stop leaves falling into the water. Too much debris can encourage algae and weeds to grow causing oxygen levels drop. This can be dangerous for the fish in your pond.
• If you do not have a water butt, why not
buy one now to start collecting water over the wetter months? If you already have one, remember to give the inside a clean before it fills up again.
