Garden Tips For October
October is a great time to dig new flower beds or vegetable garden plots for next year. If you plow or till up the ground now, it will destroy weed roots and destroy weed seeds before they can germinate.
Add plenty of organic matter to the soil like compost or well rotted cow manure when you dig up the garden beds and leave the soil rough so it will have good drainage throughout the winter months.
Plant a cover crop like rye grass or clover on the newly tilled garden beds to prevent soil erosion and turn it into the soil next spring as green manure.
