Winterizing your garden
Chalet offered some advice for winterizing a garden on the ABC 7 Morning News (Chicago) on Monday, Oct. 20. They recommended applying fertilizer to trees, shrubs and lawns before the weather drops. The plants will use that fertilizer to grow new roots for next year. Chalet recommends decorating the garden with cold temperature plants such as mums, asters, pansies and pumpkins. Protect the garden with pest-repellents. Keep the hungry rabbits and squirrels away with natural repellents that are cinnamon oil or Castor oil based. The experts at Chalet always have good advice and often offer free seminars on how to better your garden. Find out more on their website, click here.
