The leaves are falling, the temperatures are dropping and that means we need to begin prepping for winter in the lawn, landscape and garden. You can help prevent pests, diseases and weeds from overwintering and provide a clean slate for plants to remerge in the spring.
Through late summer and into the fall, monarch butterflies begin a monumental journey across the United States. With the help of the Thoughtful Gardener, Heather Andrews, we're sharing some information about their migration and how you can help with a fall fueling station in your own garden.
The key to beginning any butterfly garden is to identify the amount of sun your garden receives during the day. This will help you select the most appropriate plants for your site.
Soil health and fertility are also important in a pollinator habitat. Heather will explain how to get a soil test kit and then analyze the results for amending your soil to ensure that your plants thrive.
Planting fueling stations to support the monarchs on their incredible journey begins with plants and plants thrive with the addition of nutrient-rich mulch or compost. In this video, Heather explains how you can reuse your fall leaves and other garden debris to create “black gold” perfect for use in your flower beds.
