Pest Watch!
Although most pests in the garden are less active in the autumn, it pays to keep an eye out for any problems and deal with them as soon as possible.
Many pests will lay eggs on plants for overwintering and these will attack early next year. Deciduous trees and shrubs that have dropped their leaves can be treated with Growing Success Winter Tree Wash.
Slugs and snails will be very active during damp weather, so protect vulnerable plants with your favourite control method - remember there are wildlife friendly options such as copper tape.

Diseased leaves that are left on the ground will provide a source of infection for next year, so they should be carefully raked up and disposed of.
