VILLAGE HALL WEBSITE Our Village Hall website www.raintonvillagehall.co.uk provides a wealth of information including: • Information on “what’s on” in the hall • News and up-coming events • Details of the facilities & how to hire the hall • Our contact information THE GARDENER’S DIARY With Martin Fish October is the perfect time to plants trees, shrubs, roses and climbers into the garden so that the roots can establish while the soil is still warm. Compost all green plant waste generated by clearing borders and the veg plot. Tough stems rot down faster if shredded first and never add the roots of perennial weeds to the compost heap. Carry on planting bulbs into the garden and pots for a spring display. Tulips can wait until November to be planted when the soil is cooler. Make sure main crop potatoes are dug out of the ground, dried and then stored in a cool, dark place. Paper sacks, hessian bags or a box with ventilation are all ideal, but never plastic containers. Finish planting spring cabbage plants and overwintering onions out into prepared soil in the garden Start cutting down herbaceous perennials to tidy through the borders. Any with attractive seeds heads or structural stems can be left over winter if you wish. There is still time to give your lawn an autumn MOT to help keep it in good condition through winter. A light scarify with a rake or electric scarifyer will remove old grass and dead plant material that has built up over summer. Any compacted areas of the lawn can be spiked with a garden fork to allow air to the roots and aid winter drainage. Finally, apply and autumn lawn feed (don’t be tempted to use the last of the spring summer feed) that is low in Nitrogen and high in Phosphate and Potash, which will encourage a strong root system and induce winter hardiness and diseases resistance.
