Frequently Asked Questions About Gardening
When should I plant my fall vegetables outdoors?
If seeds or small transplants 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 northern climates. You may be able to grow leafy greens and cruciferous vegetables throughout the fall and into winter if you live in a warm climate. Check your planting zone for details on your growing season and specific plants, then read up on how to plant a fall vegetable garden.
How can I use the extra wood after tree removal or tree trimming?
A wood chipper makes tiny wood chips, while a wood 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 mulch that you can spread around your fall flowers and plants. If you removed a tree, you can either get a log splitter or a splitting maul to break up the wood into smaller pieces. A wood splitter is quicker and a wise investment if you're doing a large amount of tree cleanup, and the bigger the splitter, the better.
What do I do with all these leaves on my lawn?
Stay on top of leaf maintenance with just a few tools. For a workout, a quiet cleanup method, and an economical choice, slip on work gloves and rake the leaves. We've also got leaf blowers if you'd prefer an outdoor power tool.
How do I store my garden tools for the season?
To make next spring easier, clean your garden tools before you store them. Remove rust and dirt with a soak in soapy water, then dry your tools well. Next, soak them in a bleach and water mix for 20 minutes to disinfect them, and follow with a rinse. Then, polish off rust with a wire brush, oil them with WD-40 or vegetable oil if necessary, and ensure they're dry before hanging them in a garage or shed.
When do I winterize my pool?
Winterize your pool before the weather cools off too much. 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 tools. Snow blowers are great, but keep a snow shovel and ice scraper to chip away ice patches and clear trouble spots. We carry gas snow blowers, electric snow blowers, and cordless ones, too. Rock salt and ice melt can clear walkways with less effort and help keep you safer when you make quick trips to the mailbox or car. Prepare now before the snow starts falling.
The Home Depot Garden Center at Slidell
Fall is a different time for your yard and garden, so get out your work gloves, chainsaws, and pole saws. The focus shifts from growing to harvesting, from upkeep to cleanup. We've got fall lawn tips to help you make the most of your garden and landscaping as the season ends. We'll also guide you through harvest and planting. Depending on your climate, you might be able to garden throughout the chillier months. Read on for more on fall lawn and garden maintenance.
Patch or Fertilize Your Lawn
Repair bald spots on your lawn by spreading fresh grass seed. Cooler weather is a great time to fill in brown, dead, or bare places in your yard. However, be mindful of fallen leaves on freshly seeded areas. New grass seed needs air, sun, and water to grow, and leaf litter can block out the air and sunlight it needs to germinate.
If your lawn is in good shape, make sure it stays that way by applying lawn fertilizer if you have cool-season grass. 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 pesky 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.
Plant Flower Bulbs
If you've got your eye on bulb plants that greet the springtime sun, plant them soon. They need time to grow downward. Check your plant hardiness zone before planting. In colder climates, certain bulb flowers should be planted in spring instead. Plan your tulip, iris, and daffodil displays now. Onions and garlic can go in, too, for next year's harvest, 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 just fine and look new longer than bark chips or other mulches that fade with weathering.
Encourage the bulb roots to grow deep by sprinkling bone meal in the surrounding soil before you plant the flowers. Only apply the recommended amount and follow the instructions on the package. If you don't, you may end up with a tulip plant with one or two huge leaves and no blooms, for example.
There are cases where you can skip soil amendments or add one that's not bone meal. If you've already got exceptionally healthy soil that's chock full of compost and rich nutrients, just plant the flower bulbs. Superphosphate is an option if your dog tries to dig up the bone meal and bulbs. It's also wise to use the phosphate if your property has mice, squirrels, or raccoons who may, like your pets, want to dig up the bone meal and bulbs for a snack.
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 freeze and frost damage to extend their season. You can get extra life out of your garden by covering your plants with tarps, 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 when the weather is still transitional, until you're fully into the colder parts of the season. Uncover the plants when it warms up again and let them enjoy that fall sunshine. Once the temperatures regularly dip below freezing, it's time to say goodbye to the garden for now.
Put the Garden to Bed
When your annuals start looking rougher, 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. After your vegetable plants have yielded a final harvest, 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 disease or if you had a snail problem.
For gardens overrun with snails and slugs or if your plants struggled with blight, put the expired plants in a leaf bag and dispose of them. You don't want to bring the disease or slugs to next year's garden. However, if you have a compost pile, feel free to add the slug-riddled plant parts there.
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 rototiller or shovel. You want to loosen the earth so the topsoil goes down and the deeper soil comes up. It helps nutrients penetrate and lets the soil rest. 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 add certain nutrients that have been depleted.
Bring Delicate Plants Indoors
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 rotate them regularly to give all leaves equal sunlight for photosynthesis, 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 a Patio Heater
Stretch out your fall evenings with a fire pit, outdoor fireplace, or patio heater 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 pick 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.
