What to do in the garden in October?

Told by experienced gardener, agronomist Alexander Khorobrovets.

Harvest the remaining apples.

Spray the remaining foliage of bushes and trees, as well as the soil beneath them, with a concentrated solution of nitroammophoska (500 g per 10 liters of water).

Apply compost under the trees and bushes, adding a cup of ash to each bucket.

Rake fallen leaves in the garden and in the forest and pile them up – by spring, it will turn into humus.

Harvest the carrots and cabbage, and prepare greens for winter.

Leave some parsley in the garden bed – there will be greens early in spring; transplant some parsley into pots with soil and take them home – there will be greens in winter.

Apply organic fertilizers to the vegetable beds, dig them up, and fully prepare them for spring planting. In spring, you will apply mineral fertilizers.

Prepare planting pits-hills for the spring planting of bushes and trees.

If you have acidic soil on your plot, sprinkle the soil with lime (half a liter jar per 1 m²) and dig it up. Fertilizers cannot be applied at the same time as lime; instead of lime, it is better to apply gypsum or dolomite.

Cut the chrysanthemums and asters.
