Autumn gardening with chemical-free solutions
The cool autumn weather has arrived, so we've put together a list of autumn gardening tasks for you. Stay tuned!
Making autumn decorations, planting autumn-winter window boxes
As the annuals start to die back, autumn plants take their place: chrysanthemums, pansies, pansy, ragweed, erica, dwarf evergreens can be added to window boxes and planters. When planting, sprinkle in the window box Mikomax mycorrhiza fungus, which will help the plant to absorb more water and nutrients throughout its life. We can support the rooting of plants Kelpak by watering with algae.
Which plants can be sown and planted in autumn?
Ornamental plants
- from September - planting of spring bulbs e.g. daffodils, tulips, hyacinths, lilies of the valley
- from mid-October - planting of free-rooted fruit trees, berries
- from the end of October, beginning of November - planting of evergreens, shrubs and pines
- from mid-November - planting of free-rooted forest seedlings e.g. hornbeam, spruce, acacia, maple, pine
- all year round, so all container (potted) plants can be planted in autumn
Vegetable plants e.g. spinach, lettuce, bird's lettuce, garlic, chives, chives, chives, radish, arugula, curly kale
Lawn: early autumn (when temperatures and rainfall are milder) is the best time to sow a strong and healthy lawn or to lay turf. Before planting, the area is recommended Ino Myc to prepare the lawn with liquid mycorrhizal fungi to ensure that the lawn also benefits from the lifelong symbiotic relationship with mycorrhizae.
When sowing or planting any crop, it is a good idea to sprinkle Mikomax mycorrhizae into the planting hole to promote water and nutrient uptake later, and then water in Kelpak algae to promote better rooting and stress management.

Collection, shredding and composting of autumn leaves and plant stems
Ideally, the fallen leaves should be left to decompose on the soil without being collected. However, in practice, we do it anyway, for example to protect the health of the lawn. What can we do with all the fallen leaves? Never burn it or put it in the bin! Often it is enough to just blow it under the plants with a leaf blower. But you can also compost it. After all, there are not only leaves, but also a lot of cuttings and cuttings of fallen vegetable plants, which should be composted! We can do this in situ, scattered in ornamental plant or vegetable beds, chopped up or ground into larger pieces, this is called in situ composting. Or collected in compost bins under controlled conditions (aeration, turning) in one place.
In both cases, we can accelerate and improve the efficiency of degradation Ino Bact N Cell with a bacterial preparation.
Autumn lawn care, lawn felt removal
For existing lawns it is important to aerate in autumn, remove dry parts and loosen the soil. Removal of dry, possibly compacted grass clippings (turf matting) on the ground can be helped by Ino Bact N Cell with a pulp-degrading and nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Improve soil structure and enrich soil with organic matter Blackjak huminsavval. Of course, these treatments can be done not only in autumn, but at any time of the year.
Soil preparation in autumn:
soil works, mulching, organic matter replenishment
The practice of digging up - leaving fallow for the winter - rotating in the spring - fertilising, which has been common in recent decades, is now outdated and proven to be a soil-destroying method. Instead of digging, sow cover crops (10M Soil cover seed mix) to improve soil structure with different root lengths and shapes, mycorrhizae. By using them, we cover our soil in the same way as the mulch covers the forest floor, and the butterflies in the mulch also fix nitrogen, protect against erosion, retain water, and are therefore useful in many ways. Instead of fertilisers, use organic fertilisers such as composted or pelleted chicken or cattle manure, vegetable compost or humic acid, for example, spread under the canopy of fruit trees.
Preventive plant protection for autumn
Some fungal diseases attack early, e.g. Monilia or Taphrina, and you should start protecting against them in autumn. The best method is to protect them while they are still green Tricho Immun we spray a fungus-eating fungus on our plants, so the Trichoderma fungi it contains have time to enter and accumulate in the plant tissues during the winter. Of course, we can further protect our plants by spraying them with copper and/or sulphur active substances after the foliage has fallen. It is worth repeating the Tricho Immunos treatment once after pruning or foliage loss. You can do a lot for the health of your fruit trees if you start protecting them in autumn!
