Did you know that Fall is a great time to fertilize your plants and lawn? It seems a little counterintuitive, but it's true! Feeding and seeding in the Fall helps your plants and lawn recover from Summer stress and promotes root growth throughout Winter for healthier plants and grass in the Spring. Fall is also a wonderful time to start a compost bin. While you're clearing out the dead foliage from your flower and vegetable beds, (which you definitely want to do to reduce bugs and plant disease) add it to your compost. If you have trees, don't send your leaves to the dump. Put those bad boys in your compost too! Just make sure none of the goodies you add to your compost are diseased and are just on their way out naturally. You'll be glad you did when the next year rolls around.
