Frequently Asked Questions About Gardening
When should I plant my fall vegetables outdoors?
If small transplants or seeds are part of your plan, start planting in late summer for fall or winter gardening. Warm climates can plant later in the year than cold climates. You may be able to grow leafy greens and cruciferous vegetables throughout the fall and into winter if you don't expect a deep freeze. Check your planting zone for details on specific plants and your growing season, then read up on how to plant a fall vegetable garden.
What can I do with the extra wood after tree removal or tree trimming?
A wood chipper makes tiny wood chips, while a log splitter leaves you with more manageable chunks of wood. After pruning bushes and trees with a gas chainsaw or hedge trimmers, clean up the debris in a wood chipper. If your trees are healthy, the chopped wood makes fresh mulch that you can spread around your fall flowers and plants. If you removed a tree, you can either get a wedge and a sledgehammer or a log splitter to break up the downed tree into smaller pieces. A wood splitter is quicker and a wise investment if you're doing a vast amount of tree cleanup, and the bigger the splitter, the better.
What do I do with all these leaves?
Whether you need the power of a gas leaf blower or the comparatively quieter electric leaf blower, we've got both. Using a leaf blower can help you control the leaves with less physical effort. Electric versions come as cordless or corded leaf blowers. We've also got walk-behind, backpack, and handheld leaf blower models. Leaf vacuums, vacuum-mulcher combo units, or rakes are additional options. Turn the fallen leaves into mulch and enrich your soil or fill up leaf bags and take them out to the curb.
How do I clean a lawn mower?
To maintain outdoor power equipment, clean it before you store it. Check the manufacturer's website or your owner's manual for info on caring for a certain tool. For battery-powered tools, store the batteries in a place that won't freeze, as they don't do well with extreme temperatures. Idle gas tools until they sputter dry and then change the oil. It's a bit labor-intensive now, but you'll be glad you maintained your tools when you use them again.
How do I winterize a pool?
Once the heat of summer dissipates, winterize your pool before the cold really moves in. Clean and vacuum the pool with a special pool vacuum, then drain the water. Use a swimming pool cover to help prevent the pipes or even the pool wall itself from becoming cracked or weakened if water freezes and expands inside. While you're at it, drain and cover outdoor spigots and irrigation systems, too.
Do I get a snow blower or snow shovel?
In climates where it gets cold and snowy, early fall is the time to prepare your snow removal equipment. Snow blowers are great, but keep a snow shovel or two to chip away ice patches and clear trouble spots. Find one-, two-, and three-stage snow blowers in electric and gas options. People with larger driveways may consider using a spreader to evenly distribute the ice melt or salt to clear the way to the car. Prepare now before the snow starts falling.
The Home Depot Garden Center at Harahan
When a crisp day breezes in, take advantage of it to do outdoor maintenance. Trees and bushes need a trim with chainsaws and pole saws. Fallen leaves are likely a concern, so check out leaf bags, rakes, and blowers. Remember a wheelbarrow and buckets to gather your fall harvest. You may even be able to garden throughout fall and into winter, if you'd like. Read on to learn how to transition to your fall lawn and garden.
Fertilize or Patch Your Lawn
Patch bald spots on your lawn by spreading fresh grass seed. Autumn is a great time to fill in dead, brown, or bare places in your yard. However, make sure leaves don't fall on freshly seeded areas. New grass seed needs sun, air, and water to grow, and leaf litter can block out the air and sunlight it needs to germinate.
If you're in a northern climate, prepare your cool-season grass for the fall with lawn fertilizer. Rent an aerator to aerate your lawn before fertilizing to get those nutrients down near the roots quickly. An edger gives extra polish to the perimeter of your yard. Water your cool-season lawn regularly and tend to any weeds that show up. It'll need different maintenance than warm-season grass, which goes dormant as the weather cools. Taper down watering on warm-season lawns.
Get Bulb Plants in the Ground
If you've got your eye on bulb plants that greet the springtime sun, get those planted soon. Although their roots look different because they sprout from bulbs and not just below the stem, they still need time to grow downward. Check your plant hardiness zone before planting. In colder climates, certain bulb plants should be planted in spring instead. Plan your daffodil, iris, and tulip displays now. Onions and garlic can go in, too, for a harvest next spring or summer, but they won't need soil additives.
Try using retaining wall blocks to surround or accent your garden. A beautiful garden wall or hardscaping gives a finished look, especially when you spread a layer of rubber mulch. It'll overwinter well and resist fading longer than other mulches.
Skip the soil amendments when planting onion or garlic bulbs instead of flower bulbs. Simply plant them now, pointy-side up like a teardrop shape, and you'll have a fresh harvest by next summer. These plants will spread though, so be careful not to let them flower, dry out, and go to seed after they mature. Snip off the dried flowers to avoid planting a patch of volunteer onion and garlic plants.
Cut and Cover Perennials
In climates where you might have a cold snap but then warm up above freezing again, cover your plants. Protect your garden from frost and freeze damage to extend their season. You can get extra life out of your garden by covering your plants with tarps, 5-gallon buckets, or even painting drop cloths. It'll warm your plants like a greenhouse or blanket, and they'll survive a frost.
This works well early on, until you're fully into the colder parts of the season. Uncover the plants when it warms up again and let them enjoy that autumn sun. Once the temperatures regularly dip below freezing, it's time to say goodbye to the garden for the rest of the year.
Put the Garden to Bed
When your annuals start looking rougher, it's time to dig up the plants. Northern climates that get cold earlier in the fall may be putting the garden to bed for the season in October or November, while warmer climates might wait until November or December. After your vegetables and annuals are done for the year, dig them up, then chop and dispose of the detritus, or dead plant debris. You can let them return their nutrients to the soil, but there are two exceptions: if your plants dealt with blight or if you had a snail problem.
After you've removed the old plants, you've got a clean slate. Prepare your garden bed for the spring by rotating the soil with a shovel or renting a rototiller. You want to loosen the earth so the topsoil goes down and the deeper soil comes up. It lets the soil rest and helps nutrients penetrate. It's also an excellent opportunity to test the soil and see what, if any, soil amendments you need. Different crops and plants use different nutrients. Test your soil to see if it's balanced or if you need to restore certain nutrients that have been depleted.
Indoor Gardening
Gardeners with potted plants can extend their growing season by bringing delicate plants indoors to a sunny window. Indoor gardening allows both outdoor plants to live longer and indoor plants to bring joy into your home. Just turn them regularly to give all leaves equal sunlight, and make sure they get enough water now that they won't benefit from rainfall. Remember to place decorative dishes beneath them if the pots don't have built-in overflow dishes to catch any extra water.
Warm the Outdoors with an Outdoor Fireplace
Stretch out your fall evenings with an outdoor fireplace, patio heater, or fire pit to take off the chill. No matter if you're looking for outdoor heaters for decks, small patios, or cozy porches, we've got options. All you have to do is discover the one that matches your decor style.
We've got fire bowls and fire pit tables ready to warm your outdoor space. Check out stylish propane and natural gas fire pits in a variety of shapes. We've also got woodburning fire pits and the firewood to stoke them. You can even build your own with fire pit kits or make it completely custom and build an in-ground fire pit to fit your vision with pavers that lead to and surround the pit. Stop by your closest garden center to see what's in stock.
