Cold weather is
approaching, is your lawn and garden prepared? To avoid destroying all of your
hard work from the previous warmer months, it's recommended to begin prepping
for the seasonal freezes a few weeks in advance.
Start with fertilizer. It is ideal to use
slow-release fertilizers on your lawn to provide the right nutrients. Grass and
plants can store the excess energy for the colder months.
To prevent the
growth of weeds, a pre-emergent herbicide should do the trick. A pre-emergent
herbicide will prevent the germination and growth of weed seeds. They do not
affect any established plant life, so you do not have to worry about those
areas around your existing plants.
For the existing
weeds, you can use a post-emergent herbicide. There are two types: selective
and non-selective. Selective herbicides only affect specific types of weeds. On
the other hand, non-selective herbicides will kill all living plants, even your
grass. Be sure to read the labels carefully.
Do some research on
plants that do well in cold weather. There are many options to choose from.
Some are even quite colorful. If you have a green thumb, there are many cold
season vegetables such as broccoli, lettuce and other greens. A good tip is to
loosen the soil around your garden or yard to allow for easier
absorption of water, preventing the water from pooling.
For smaller potted
plants, it's a good idea to bring them indoors on cold nights, especially your
warm weather plants. If you think some of your plants are not mature enough to
make it through the winter, try digging them up, putting them in a pot, and
moving them indoors. Even a garage can provide more warmth if you don’t want to
turn your home into a jungle.
