So, let’s get right to it, and find out some awesome tips for gardening in the fall!

1. Prepare Your Soil for the Coming Winter

Fall is the ideal time to prepare your soil for the months of winter.

Soil preparation in the fall significantly benefits your plants that grow in spring.

Getting rid of weeds, preparing garden beds, and moving plants where necessary are some of the things you need to do.

In terms of removing weeds, you can always spray your trusted liquid herbicide.

To make the application more convenient, especially if you have a large area, upgrade to garden or battery-powered sprayers on wheels, like PetraTools HD5000.

It's a 6.5-gallon sprayer with a 100-foot-long hose that you can use to move around without needing to transfer the machine to another spot.

2. Increase Your Mulch Layer

Fall is the perfect time to beef up your mulch layer to protect your plants from the coming winter.

The layer helps lock in moisture and provides warmth that your plants need.

Add more mulch materials, whether organic or inorganic, to your existing ones to strengthen the winter barrier of your plants.

3. Trim Trees and Garden Plants

Trimming trees and garden plants in the fall?

Yes, it's a good form of exercise and an essential part of your gardening routine!

Trimming promotes healthy growth for the plants and aids in their survival during the cold season.

The more you cut, the greater the opportunity there is for the plants to flourish in spring.

One important thing to remember though is to burn cut branches and leaves with diseases.

Don't mix them in your compost as they can contaminate the organic matter.

4. Fertilize Your Plants

Fall is also ideal for the roots to grow, which means fertilizing is crucial.

As you prepare the garden beds, make sure to fertilize the soil to regain its ideal health.

You can add your own compost to the soil as it is rich in nutrients.

In making your own compost, you can speed up its decomposition process by applying worm tea.

Worm casting tea is a liquid concentrate extracted from earthworm castings, which are rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.

5. Water Your Plants More Often

As fall is the best season for root growth, it makes sense to hydrate your plants more often.

The season typically has a good balance of nicely-cooled nights and warm days, but excessive dryness can also occur in the fall.

If you're frequently experiencing this in your area, hydrating your plants more often than usual is important.

Watering can also be done easily with the help of a battery-powered sprayers on wheels.

6. Prepare Your Seedlings

For seedlings, it's ideal to prepare them in late fall, so they are ready for planting when winter is over.

Place them in seedling trays, and keep them in an environment similar to a greenhouse.

If you have very young trees and shrubs planted in the ground, cover them with frost cloth for protection from the cold season.

This is especially important if your area tends to have extreme frost.
