Top 5 tips for
WINTER GARDENERS
The thought of gardening in winter in the wind, rain and mud has many of us putting off the chore until the spring.
However, not all jobs need wellies and a winter coat. Here are a few things you can be getting on with while waiting for the better weather.
1. Cleaning Give all of your gardening tools a good clean to remove the dirt and any rust.
2. Sheds Winter is a good time to clear out the garden shed and greenhouse. Get rid of any broken pots and tools as well as old pesticide containers. Disinfect pots and seed trays with a mild detergent.
3. Compost With all the leaves and cuttings that
accumulate and need to be disposed of, there’s no better time to start a compost bin. For those who already have a bin, a good stir will help along the composting process.
4. Wildlife Clean bird baths and keep them topped up and ice-free. Putting out fat blocks and seeds will not only help local wildlife to survive the winter but will encourage birds, hedgehogs and small reptiles to remain in the garden. They will repay
the favour many times over by eradicating many garden pests in the coming year.
5. Catalogues Why not spend a cold winter’s evening curled up by the fire looking through some of the mail-order seed and plant catalogues? That way, you can visualise and plan your ideal garden and be raring to go with new ideas when the better weather does arrive.
