Ask the Expert
nicky-roeberNicky Roeber is online horticultural expert for nationwide Wyevale Garden Centres. Here, he explains how to make the most of our garden in the coming months.

Fallen leaves, spent bedding plants, and weeds all make autumn a great time to start composting. Plus, starting a heap now means you could have nutrient-rich compost to nourish your garden come spring.

If you have a large volume of leaves, making leafmould – nature’s soil conditioner – is also a good option. Whatever you do, don’t allow disease and pest-friendly sodden leaves to build up.

The relatively warm and moist soil of autumn is perfect for planting shrubs, trees and perennials. Soak the rootball in a bucket for around an hour beforehand, and keep a circle of clear earth around new and established plants so that moisture can seep through.
