Hints & Tips
Winter work in the garden.
There are many general tasks that are best done this time of year.
Deciduous hedges that are overgrown can be pruned anytime during winter.
Provided theres no frost in the ground, shrubs can still be planted.
Clear moss from paths and patios or they can become dangerously slippery.
Repair fences and other structures while climbing plants are dormant, or fit a new fence.
Dig heavy ground during dry weather and leave it rough for the frost to break down, It'll also expose pests for the birds to eat. This is a good idea if you wish to lay new turf in the new year.
Plant new tree's and shrubs if the weather and ground is flavourable.
You can have winter colour with your hanging baskets and window boxes, fill with a mass of winter flowering pansies you can under plant them with bulbs such as dwarf narcissi or rockery tulips. They will being colour and cheer in late winter.
Ponds, keep the water as clean as possible by regularly removing any fallen leaves and clear away all dead top growth in late autumn. In winter, toxic gases harmfull to fish can build up if the pond is frozen over for several days. Never bash the ice to break it ( the shock waves counld kill the fish) just set a ketle or pan of boilding water on the it until it has melted through.

Compost Bins
