Tips for autumn gardening:

Make sure you have plenty of room in your compost bins in preparation for the onset of autumn leaves. Gather up the leaves once they fall and add to your compost bin, alternating with layers of kitchen scraps.

Before the cold winter sets in, prune and tidy your hedges. This will keep them looking compact and bushy, ready for new growth in spring.

Eliminate weeds within your lawns by giving them a weed spray. Aerate the lawns with a garden fork, preferably when the ground underneath is wet. Then add some lime to your lawn to sweeten it up.

Give all garden beds a feed with a complete fertiliser to keep your plants strong over the winter months.
