Fall Tips - for the fall gardening season, you should plan to top-dress your yard with BioFine or ReGrow compost and mulch your plants with SoilBuilder or ReGrow compost from Deschutes Recycling. Compost is an essential ingredient to winterizing your lawn and garden and will help your plants come back healthy and strong after the winter.
Mulching for winter: Around the time your perennials
are dying back for winter and the ground is freezing, you should mulch around
your plants with a few inches of SoilBuilder. The dark compost will help
insulate the roots and attract sunlight in the spring helping the soil warm a
little more quickly, while releasing nutrients for your awakening plants. You
will also have moisture-holding mulch in place for the coming heat of
summer. For excellent, ready-to-plant soil, till 2-3 inches of compost
into beds you will plant the following spring or summer.
Topdressing the lawn: Apply a thin layer (¼ to ½ inch)
of BioFine or ReGrow compost to your lawn in the fall and again in the spring
to help build up a good supply of organic matter and nutrients for the next
growing season. If you haven’t done this yet, you will be amazed at what
topdressing does for your lawn! In addition to helping your grass grow
stronger and greener, it reduces thatch, makes turf more drought-resistant and
saves water by helping soil hold moisture. It also helps bare spots fill
in, helps lawns fight fungal diseases, reduces your need for fertilizers and
keeps fertilizers from washing away.
