Autumn is here and there is plenty to do in the garden! This week, hear Keith and Elisabeth’s suggestions on what to get done in the garden this Autumn.

• Pruning and deadhead perennials such as hydrangeas, salvias, lavender etc
• Prune espalier apples and citrus
• Rejuvenate your soil after summer with a broad fork (Keith recommends F.D Ryan's) before adding Rooster Booster, Clyde's Compost, Clyde’s lignite along with a liquid fertiliser like Charlie Carp or  Power Feed
• Feed citrus - try Harry's Citrus Food or Neutrog Gyganics
• Tomatoes are finishing up and will need to be removed
• Plant garlic cloves - 50mm in Vic, 100mm in warmer climates
• Sow brassica seeds - broccoli, cabbage, cauliflowers etc
• Dividing and propagating perennials including Japanese windflowers, dahlias, salvias, sedum, grasses, oakleaf hydrangea
• Grow from cuttings - snip off just below a root node, dip into rooting powder and put into pot (or water)
• Broadfork your lawn and feed with Rooster Booster and keep lawn high until winter months
• Plant bulbs - daffodils, hyacinths, jonquils, irises etc. Plant close together for maximum impact. Underplant 
• Autumn leaves are a great carbon addition in the compost. 

Enjoy the glorious colours of Autumn and the cooler working weather!
