September 22 marks the start of the astronomical autumn. As the leaves slowly change colour, it's time to do the last bit of work in the garden before winter sets in. It's often said that the last jobs in the garden should be finished by 21 October. Furniture and tools also need to be cleaned and put away for the winter.
Last garden jobs
With autumn comes dead leaves falling from trees. As the lawn can suffocate under them, it's advisable to remove them with a hoover or leaf blower. The gutter also needs to be cleared. You can put a thin layer of leaves at the foot of flowerbeds and ornamental shrubs to protect them from drought and provide them with nutrients. Of course, you can also leave a pile of leaves for the hedgehogs, who will certainly enjoy these winter quarters.
If you have a composter, you can compost the leaves with nitrogen-free garden waste such as grass or wood shavings during the winter and will have good soil for the start of the new season.
Cleaning and storing garden furniture and tools
Afterwards, you can tuck your garden utensils away in a tool shed, cover your grill outside with a tarpaulin to protect everything from rain and damp. The best way to protect wooden furniture from winter is to put it in an enclosed room where it will be well protected.
