With the autumn storms arriving, get out into the garden and check stakes and ties on trees and large shrubs etc to make they don't suffer from wind damage.
When planting new trees make sure you are prepared before hand and you have a good stakes and ties you have made the hole big enough so you don't have to dig out more when the tree arrives.
Dig in plenty of organic material into the bottom of the hole and the soil you are back filling with.
If you are buying trees at this time of year from St Bridgets there is a good chance that they will be bare root so take precautions to keep the tree free from frosts and make sure the roots don't dry out.
After planting if you are planting in grass keep the area around the tree clear of grass to give your tree a good start and keep it well watered in the first year.
In spring mulch around the base of the tree to conserve water in dry periods of spring/ summer.
