1. Rake the leaves continuously. Don’t let them build up or sit for more than a few days, or they will suffocate your grass. But also avoid raking when your lawn is wet. You may accidentally pull out some of your grass since the wet leaves are so heavy.
Tip: Hate raking leaves? Once the leaves become dry and brittle, mow them! The tiny, chopped up leaves actually make great compost and can be broken down into the dirt.
2. Fertilize your lawn. Autumn is a great time to fertilize before the ground gets too hard and frozen. Plus, the morning dew’s moisture helps your lawn absorb the fertilizer better. Camdenton Farm & Garden has several trusted brands of fertilizers in store. Feel free to stop by and ask any questions you may have about your specific lawn and grass type.

Tip: Apply our Fertilome Winterizer Lawn Food to both lawns and shrubs in the fall. Its effects are similar to putting on an overcoat in the winter, and it enables turf, trees, and shrubs to withstand the rigors of winter better and easier.
3. Make room for your tropical container plants indoors. These tropical plants, such as palm or banana, can last perfectly fine indoors or in your garage, so long as the temperature doesn’t drop too low.
Tip: During the fall/winter months, use your tropical plans as decoration indoors! The greenery will liven up the room and bring some color to the otherwise dreary outside.
4. Continue to mow and water your lawn. If you let your grass begin to grow out of control, it will get too long and become matted down. This can hinder the leaves from getting enough sunlight and nutrients and prevent further growth.
Tip: Keep watering your lawn! Even though there is more rain and dew in the fall, the grass still needs more water than you think.
5. Add mulch where it’s needed. That extra layer of mulch protects your plants during the colder months. Mulch helps to retain the moisture in your soil, protect bare soil from eroding, and suppress weed growth. We have several great colors of mulch that will complement the design of your landscape, sold in ½ cubic yard scoops.
Tip: Call or stop by Camdenton Farm & Garden, pick out your color and amount, and we’ll deliver up to 5 cubic yards right to you!
