Frequently Asked Questions About Gardening
Will my veggies survive a frost?
Some hardy plants keep growing throughout the fall when they're mature by first frost. Cruciferous vegetables, including Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and kale, thrive in cooler temperatures and may continue growing into the winter months. Get incredible depth to their taste by harvesting these veggies after frost. The plants convert starches into sugar, so they'll taste sweeter than earlier harvests. Root veggies, like carrots and beets, also love chillier temperatures.
Should I get a wood chipper or a wood splitter?
Log splitters leave you with more manageable chunks of wood, while wood chippers make tiny wood chips. After pruning bushes and trees with a gas chainsaw or hedge trimmers, clean up the debris in a wood chipper. If your trees are healthy, the bark chips and chopped wood make mulch that you can spread around your fall flowers and plants. If you removed a tree, you can either get an axe or a log splitter to divide the wood into smaller pieces. A wood splitter is quicker and a wise investment if you're doing a vast amount of tree cleanup, and the bigger the splitter, the better.
How can I remove fall leaves from my lawn?
Keep leaf maintenance under control with just a few tools. For a quiet and economical cleanup method, slip on work gloves and rake the leaves. We've also got leaf blowers if you'd prefer an outdoor power tool.
How do I store my trimmers and mowers during the winter?
To maintain outdoor power equipment, clean it before you store it. Check the manufacturer's website or your owner's manual for info on caring for a certain tool. To shut down gas-powered outdoor power equipment for the season, idle each tool until the gas is gone, then change the oil so it's ready in the spring. For electric tools, remove the battery, put it in its storage case, and store it where it won't freeze — usually away from the tools themselves. It'll save you money and time in the long run, as your tools will last longer when you care for them.
When do I prep my swimming pool for winter?
Winterize the pool before the weather cools off too much. Clean and vacuum the pool with a special pool vacuum, then drain the water. Use a swimming pool cover to help prevent the pipes or even the pool wall itself from becoming weakened or cracked if water freezes and expands inside. While you're at it, drain and cover outdoor spigots and sprinkler systems, too.
What tools do I need for snow removal?
In climates where it gets cold and snowy, early fall is the time to prepare your snow removal tools. Snow blowers are great, but keep an ice scraper and snow shovel to clean trouble spots or chip away ice patches. Find lightweight cordless and electric snow blowers as well as gas snow blowers. People with larger driveways may consider using a spreader to fling the ice melt or salt to clear the way to the car. Shop now before the weather cools more and the snow rolls in.
The Home Depot Garden Center at S Brunswick
Fall is a different time for your garden and yard, so get out your work gloves, pole saws, pruners, and chainsaws. The focus shifts from growing to harvesting, from upkeep to cleanup. We've got fall lawn tips to help you make the most of your landscaping and garden as the season ends. We'll also guide you through planting and fall harvest. Depending on your climate, you might be able to garden throughout the chillier months. Read on for more on fall lawn and garden maintenance.
Fertilize or Patch Your Lawn
Patch bald spots on your lawn by overseeding them. Autumn is a great time to fill in dead, brown, or bare places in your yard. However, be mindful of fallen leaves on freshly seeded areas. New grass seed needs sun, water, and air to grow, and leaf litter can block out the sunlight and air it needs to germinate.
If you're in a northern climate, prepare your cool-season grass for the fall with lawn fertilizer. Aerate your lawn before fertilizing to get the most bang for your buck. An edger gives extra polish to the perimeter of your yard. Water your cool-season lawn regularly and tend to any weeds that show up. It'll need different maintenance than warm-season grass, which goes dormant as the weather cools. Taper down watering on warm-season lawns.
Get Bulb Plants in the Ground
If you've got your eye on spring-blooming bulb plants, plant them soon. They need time to grow downward. Check your plant hardiness zone before planting. In colder climates, certain bulb plants should be planted in spring instead. Plan your daffodil, iris, and tulip displays now. Onions and garlic can go in, too, for next year's harvest, but they won't need soil additives.
Try using retaining wall blocks to surround or accent your garden. A beautiful garden wall or hardscaping gives a finished look, especially when you spread a layer of rubber mulch. It'll overwinter just fine and look new longer than bark chips or other mulches that fade with weathering.
Skip the soil amendments when planting onion or garlic bulbs instead of flower bulbs. Simply plant them now, pointy-side up like a teardrop shape, and you'll have a fresh harvest by next summer. These plants will spread though, so be careful not to let them flower, dry out, and go to seed after they mature. Snip off the dried flowers to avoid planting a patch of volunteer onion and garlic plants.
Cut and Cover Perennials
In climates where you might have a cold snap but then warm up above freezing again, cover your plants. Protect your garden from freeze and frost damage to extend their season. You can get extra life out of your garden by covering your plants with tarps, 5-gallon buckets, or even painting drop cloths. It'll warm your plants like a greenhouse, and they'll survive a frost.
This works well when the weather is still transitional, until you're fully into the colder parts of the season. Uncover the plants when the thermometer goes up again and let them enjoy that autumn sunshine. Once the temperatures regularly dip below freezing, it's time to bid a fond farewell to the garden for now.
Put the Garden to Bed
When the sun angle changes and your annuals start looking rougher, it's time to dig up the plants. Northern climates may be putting the garden to bed for the season in October or November, while warmer climates might wait until November or December. After your annuals are done blooming for the year, dig them up and dispose of the dead plant debris. Feel free to let them decay to enrich the soil unless you had one of two exceptions: if your plants dealt with blight or if you had a snail problem.
After you've removed the old plants, you have a clean slate. Prepare your garden bed for the spring by rotating the soil with a shovel or renting a rototiller. You want to send the topsoil down, bring up the deeper soil, and loosen the earth. It lets the soil rest and helps nutrients penetrate. It's also an excellent opportunity to test the soil and see what, if any, soil amendments you need. Different crops and plants use different nutrients. Test your soil to see if it's balanced or if you should replenish certain nutrients that have been depleted.
Bring Delicate Plants Indoors
Gardeners with potted plants can extend their growing season by bringing the plants indoors to a sunny window. Indoor gardening allows both outdoor plants to live longer and indoor plants to bring joy into your home. Just turn them regularly to give all leaves equal sunlight, and make sure they get enough water. Be sure to add dishes beneath the pots to catch any extra water if they don't have built-in overflow dishes.
Warm the Outdoors with a Fire Pit
Stretch out your fall evenings with a patio heater, fire pit, or outdoor fireplace to take off the chill. No matter if you're looking for outdoor heaters for decks, small patios, or cozy porches, we've got options. All you have to do is discover the one that matches your decor style.
We've got fire bowls and fire pit tables ready to warm your outdoor space. Check out stylish propane and natural gas fire pits in a variety of shapes. We've also got woodburning fire pits and the firewood to stoke them. You can even build your own with fire pit kits or make it completely custom and build an in-ground fire pit to fit your vision with pavers that lead to and surround the pit. Stop by your closest garden center to see what's in stock.
