Topical Tips for December

Ensure the potting shed is clean and tidy, and all pots and trays are washed, ready for next season.

Keep off the grass when frosty or wet.

Tie in whippy shoots of climbing roses before they are damaged.

Keep an eye on the weather and keep greenhouse heaters on when the temperature dips.

Rake up fallen leaves and store them in a pile to rot down into leafmould.

Float a ball in the fish pond to reduce the pressure of ice on the structure, and to prevent total freezing.

Treat slippery paths with a suitable cleaner, or sprinkle with sand and scrub in with a stiff brush.

Check overwintering veg, tubers and bulbs for vermin damage and set traps if necessary.
