Frequently Asked Questions About Gardening
How do I pick fruit off the tree or vine?
To pick the fruit, brush aside any leaves and pinch the stem just above the one you've chosen. With your other, rotate the fruit until it falls off. After you've rinsed your bounty clean of dirt, enjoy it while it's still warm from the sun.
Should I get a wood splitter or a wood chipper?
A log splitter leaves you with more manageable chunks of wood, while a wood chipper makes 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 chopped wood and bark chips make mulch that you can spread around your fall flowers and plants. If you removed a tree, you can either get a splitting maul or a log splitter to divide the wood into smaller pieces. The wood splitter will be quicker and a wise investment if you're doing an expansive amount of tree cleanup, and bigger is better here.
What do I do with all these leaves on my lawn?
Although it may sometimes feel like a losing battle, you can keep on top of leaf maintenance. For a classic method, rake your leaves. We've also got leaf blowers if you'd prefer an outdoor power tool.
How do I store my garden tools for the season?
To make next spring easier, clean your garden tools before you store them. Remove rust and dirt with a soak in soapy water, then dry the tools thoroughly. Next, soak them in a water and bleach mix for 20 minutes to kill off any fungus, and follow with a rinse. Then, polish off rust with a wire brush, oil them with vegetable oil or WD-40 if necessary, and ensure they're dry before hanging them in a shed or garage.
How do I winterize an outdoor spigot?
Prepare your outdoor taps for freezing temperatures by draining and covering them with faucet covers. Winterizing the hose bibb can be put off until washing the car or watering the garden is done for the year, but don't wait until the temps drop into the 40s. With all hoses disconnected, turn off the indoor valves that control the spigots, then open the taps and let them run until the water stops. If you have pop-up sprinklers or a drip irrigation system, drain those as well as per the manufacturer's instructions. You may need an air compressor to get out every last drop of water. While you're at it, get a pool vacuum and pool cover and winterize your swimming pool, too.
How early do I prep for snow blower use?
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 a snow shovel and ice scraper to clean trouble spots or chip away ice patches. We carry gas snow blowers, electric snow blowers, and cordless ones, too. People with larger driveways may consider using a salt spreader to fling the ice melt or salt to clear a path to the mailbox or car. Shop now before the weather cools more and the snow rolls in.
The Home Depot Garden Center at South County
On a fresh fall day, take advantage of the weather to do outdoor maintenance and a second round of planting. Now is a great time to get fall flowers and flower bulbs in the ground. Neaten up your trees and bushes, too, with pole saws and chainsaws. Read on for more on fall gardening and how to transition to your fall lawn and garden.
Fertilize or Patch Your Lawn
Patch bald spots on your lawn by overseeding them. Cooler weather is a great time to fill in brown or bare places in your yard. However, you should try to keep leaves off freshly seeded areas. New grass seed needs air, water, and sun to grow, and leaf litter can block out the air and sunlight 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 those nutrients down near the roots right off the bat. An edger gives extra polish to the perimeter of your yard. Water your cool-season lawn regularly and tend to any pesky 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.
Fall Gardening
Fall planting is often overlooked, but autumn is the perfect time to get additional flowers in your garden. Chrysanthemums, often just called "mums," provide a beautiful pop of fall color. Find them in shades of pink, purple, white, yellow, orange, and red. Pansies and marigolds are other options for beautiful fall flowers, so consider them, too. Remember to explore the wide variety of fall plant and flower options.
Shrubs and succulents often flower in the fall, especially if they're already established in the ground or kept in flower pots. Succulent planters allow for easier upkeep of sensitive succulents. You can customize the soil in the planters to fit these desert plants, as they need a sandy succulent soil mixture.
For shrubs, look after the ones you've got or plant new ones, weather permitting. Get in new plants now, especially if you're in a warmer climate and have time before the frost and cold sets in. If you use retaining wall blocks to accent or surround your garden, try giving a finished look with rubber mulch. It'll overwinter well and resist fading longer than other mulches.
Cut and Cover Perennials
In climates where you might have a cold snap here and there, but then it'll warm up above freezing, 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 buckets, tarps, or even painting drop cloths. It'll warm your plants like a greenhouse, and they'll survive a frost.
This works well early on, until you're fully into the colder parts of the season. Uncover the plants when it warms up again and let them enjoy that fall sun. Once the temperatures regularly dip below freezing, say goodbye to the garden for the winter.
Put the Garden to Bed
When the sun angle changes and your annuals start looking rougher, dig up the plants. Northern climates might be putting the garden to bed for the season in October or November. After your annuals are done blooming for the year, dig them up, then chop 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 disease or if you had a snail problem.
If your garden is prone to slugs, move the departed plants from the garden to another part of your lawn to decay, or put the plant remains in a yard waste bag. Although snails and slugs are often considered pests by gardeners, they're still part of the ecosystem, so relocate them elsewhere on your property if possible. As for the exception of your plants struggling with blight or disease, simply pack up those dead plants in the leaf bag to avoid passing any issues on to next year's crop.
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 rototiller or shovel. 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 need to replenish certain nutrients that have been depleted.
Indoor Gardening
Gardeners with potted plants can extend their growing season by bringing delicate plants indoors to a sunny window. Indoor gardening allows both outdoor plants to live longer and house plants to bring joy into your home. Just make sure they get enough water, and rotate them regularly to give all those leaves equal sunlight. Remember to place decorative dishes beneath them if the pots don't have built-in overflow dishes to catch any extra water.
Warm the Outdoors with a Patio Heater
Stretch out your fall evenings with a fire pit, patio heater, 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 pick 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 your exact specifications with pavers that lead to and surround the pit. Stop by your closest garden center to see what's in stock.
