Prune and clear jungle garden in Autumn or wait till spring?


Recommended Posts

If you know, or can find out, what the shrubs and plants are, that may help you decide.


Some shrubs need to be pruned at specific times of the year (though if you don't mind missing a year's flowers that may not matter).


But I would do the weeding now, before they spread even more!

I would definitely get rid of the brambles as soon as you can, the longer you leave them the more difficult it will be. Other than that I?d do it slowly over the autumn and winter, weather permitting, so you can make a new start in the spring.
I would start now but follow this or something similar: https://www.gardenersworld.com/what-to-do-now-september/ ...or look for further tips depending on the size and aspect of your garden, and divide the work up into smaller portions so that you don't do anything too hasty. There might be some Autumn and Winter growth to be enjoyed, whilst those areas which are cleared now might be right for planting this side of the colder months depending on what kind of result you're after.

    • out of interest, any ballpark figure on how many reactions you have done today? Seems like a software blip rather than a likely restriction (didn't someone else start a thread recently along same lines?)  
    • Did you query the tissues and sand?
    • I just tried to "like" a post and I got a message saying I could not add any more reactions today. Is this a new rule, or have I just been more restrained in the past?!  No idea why that last bit is underlined . ..
    • I have swum in it several times since it's reopened.  No problems.  The sand stuff is a bit off-putting but like all pools they'll have to test and log the water quality regularly so I think it's unlikely to be a health issue.  The water is clearer than a pool I use regularly near my work - also with no issues.
