I am still doing lots in my garden Lilac Hill as fall is a great time to do big clean ups! One area I organized and cleaned was the compost area behind the workshop. When we decided to build a compost area consisting of 3 bays we knew were would build it from concrete blocks and not wood. It is not the hottest part of the property but material still breaks down as I recently sifted compost to use next year. We also collect rain water from the downspouts for the garden but now it is time to empty the rain barrels as they are only plastic. I also have all my bulbs planted, I took my 3 wall planters apart that were in the hosta enclosure, and the butterfly bush was pruned to get it winter ready.
