Top Ten Gardening Jobs for November


  1.  Clear up fallen leaves especially from lawns, ponds and beds
  2.  Raise containers onto pot feet to prevent water logging.
  3. Plant tulip bulbs for a Spring display next year.
  4. Prune roses to prevent wind-rock.
  5. Plant out winter bedding.
  6. Cover brassicas with netting if pigeons are a problem.
  7. Insulate outdoor containers from frost - bubble wrap works well.
  8. Stop winter moth damage to fruit trees using grease bands around the trunks.
  9. Put out bird  food to encourage winter birds into the garden
  10. Use a seasonal bonfire (if allowed & not a nuisance to neighbours) to dispose of excess debris unfit for composting. (or get a brown bin from South Norfolk Council!)
