3. Clean All Garden Planters And Containers
Think back to the spring when you began planting the garden. All those planters and containers which were used for seedling, or were used to grow the plants before they were placed into the ground, all need cleaning and storing. They’ll reappear during the fall yard clean up, hiding in the garage somewhere. Collect them, and make sure you wash them out so they’re clean and ready to be used next spring.
2. Compost Yard And Food Clippings
Once everything’s been cut, sheared, or trimmed, what you’ll have are massive piles of grass clippings, tree branches, along with other yard debris to dispose. In past years, you most likely just took this excess to the local landfill, or just tossed them in the garbage. But if you’re wanting to go green, dump all of this excess, including all your produce remains into a compost pile. Also convert thick bark into mulch.
1. Start Planning For The Upcoming Holidays
Summer is in the rear view mirror, the beauty of the fall colors are here, while winter is looming just around the corner. So now is the time to start planning, this by finding creative ways of preparing for the upcoming holiday season, such as finding more environmentally friendly inexpensive ways to give gifts. Now’s the time to start planning as past experience dictates that the festive season tends to creep up and suddenly appear out of nowhere, where life gets hectic. The trend is choosing to go minimal, which reduces the stress and panic that’s associated with this time of year.
