Welcoming new seasons is always lovely when we think of the changes they bring; you must admit there’s a certain beauty in all of them. Autumn, as much as spring, is the season announcing grand change; while spring announces nature’s awakening, and the coming of warmer days, autumn is the season that serves as the messenger of colder days. Same as you would change your wardrobe, this is the season you’d have to use to your advantage to prepare your garden for the colder days ahead and do what’s best to maintain your space of greenery in perfect order.

What we all associate autumn with is the sight of yellowish, brownish, reddish leaves falling around. While this sounds like so much fun for kids, hearing the cracking sound as they walk over them, it’s a nightmare for grown-ups to clear up all the mess. However, it needn’t be so when you’ve got the help of a leaf blower vacuum. This is the perfect tool that would save you time and keep your garden organised, as you’d easily be able to form piles of fallen leaves. It would even give you the peace of mind considering you’d quickly build up the piles back if your kids have ruined your previous work jumping on them.

With the wide range of leaf blower vacuum tool designs, you’d also stumble upon those that are 3 in 1, serving as a blower, vacuum, including mulcher. Now that’s a mighty tool to have! Leaves serve as the perfect basis for mulch, something that would give your soil the necessary nutrients as it breaks down, provide it with enough moisture so you’d cut down on watering costs, and give off the warmth needed to protect plants during winter. So, cleaning leaves, and then using them as mulch are highly recommended autumn chores. And, don’t forget, autumn is the season ideal for lawn fertilising (something that should be done twice a year).

If you’re not sure about the sort of fertiliser you should use, always go for the natural variant. Great news is you can make it in your own kitchen, adding all the scraps and garden waste to create the highly nutritious compost – another compound where you can add the fallen leaves. Though most people associate autumn with a waned garden look, you can still fill it up with colourful flowers, planting begonia, nerine, and dahlia for instance. Some of the recommended winter flowers are the winter aconite, and the snowdrop. As you can see, a garden can be beautiful year round, not just during the warm days.
