Getting ready for winter can be a pain, here are a few of my favorite tips-n-tricks to make life easier & get ready for colder weather!
A Few Fall tricks- Autumn Life Hacks
Instead of raking leaves into piles, rake them onto a tarp, then scoop them up by gathering the corners.
Beer Garden
Apply the fertilizer thinly and evenly across the entire lawn. Reapply every 2 weeks. The soil pH should be in the 6.0-6.5 range.
Migrating Birds
– add a piece of black plastic trash bag to the bottom of your birdbath, then add a tennis ball. The plastic will absorb solar heat, while the tennis ball will help break up an ice that starts to form. The birds will be able to drop in for a drink or a dip, as needed!
Wax-On-
Seal or Not to Seal Wooden Fences or gates
– do a quick splash test to see if your wooden gates/ raised garden beds or fences need a coat of sealant. Toss a large glassful of water against heavily weathered areas. If the wood absorbs the water- apply a coat of sealer before winter sets in to protect it.
Forgo Boot Bunches
Via Dumpaday Fall Leaf Hack- use what you have, right?! This fellow takes leaf-blowing to a new level, cleaning off his deck.
