2. It is better to remove fallen leaves from lawns( especially spilled pine needles! !!), since by spring it can lead to decay of the whole lawn layer.
3. It is best to use leaves to create compost, which is useful in the spring to make up the plants in your garden.
4. It is necessary to excavate all bulbous and tuberous plants and hide them until spring in a warm, ventilated room, covered with sawdust or sand.
5. If you are going to leave bulbs of flowers in the ground until the spring, then necessarily pour peat and a layer of crusted bark or sawdust on top of them.
6. November is a great time for planting trees. But remember that at this time of the year only saplings with bare roots should be planted, then they will get better, and some of them even begin to bear fruit in the spring. Plant them better in a rainy or foggy day, but by no means in the sunny.
7. In our cold climate, many garden plants need to be prepared for the winter of , covering them from frosts and sudden temperature fluctuations, from which young seedlings, evergreen shrubs and coniferous plants most often suffer. But before wrapping them, abundantly water these plants for 3-5 days to maximally strengthen them.
8. You should also water the plants of your garden if the autumn is too dry, otherwise they may not survive the coming winter.
9. All the land between the trees( if it is not covered by a special lawn) it is necessary to dig up and fertilize, so that next spring it could please you with thick and abundant vegetation. You can dig using a shovel, but it's best to do this with forks.
10. For fertilizing flower lawns it is best to use manure, with the calculation of 4-6 kg per 1 sq. Km.meter. You can also use your own compost or phosphate-potassium fertilizers, but remember that they should be fertilized immediately before the first snow falls out.
11. If in your garden there is an artificial pond, then protect it from falling leaves, and, hence, rotting the water, you can use a stretched mesh, which should be cleaned every 2-3 days.
12. If there are fish in the pond, you can leave in the water special heaters that will not allow the water to freeze to the very bottom.
