Autumn 'perfect time to refit garden' using garden sheds

11:09:20 27th September 2010

The autumn season can be an ideal juncture to rearrange a garden, one expert claims.

This is according to Helen Yemm of the Telegraph, who notes that the season is great for making changes as most problems are easy to spot and "the soil is still warm".

If perennials are becoming too large, or parts of them are dying, Ms Yemm recommends removing all of them rather than trying to make lots of changes while everything is still in the ground.

Plants can then be temporarily potted and stored, in garden sheds for example, while how they are to be rearranged is considered.

Adding four inches of fresh compost to a newly-cleared out area could help to rejuvenate it - this should be forked in with the top 12 inches of soil.

Leave for two weeks if possible and then replant the flowers taken up previously.

Recently, the Pikibook blog stated that garden sheds are the perfect outdoor storage facility.
