Power Tools Every DIYer Needs
Every DIYer needs essential power tools to see them through their home improvement projects. Here at HSS, we can help you put together the perfect toolbox so you'll have all the power tools you need.
The year is coming to an end, the seasons are changing and our garden jobs need to adapt to the weather that is on its way. From planting, cleaning to creating a bonfire heap, here's some gardening jobs you can do in November.
If you're doing your final hedge cutting and pruning before the weather turns wet, don't throw any any of the cuttings. If you want to put on a firework display in your garden, you can use any twigs you've cut to add to your bonfire heap to keep the fire going. For any bonfire night safety tips, check out our dedicated blog here.
Autumn and winter brings more rainy days and you'll want your flowers and plants to be as protected as can be. Bricks or 'pot feet' can be used to prop up your plant containers to prevent them for getting waterlogged, allowing any excess water to drain out and save your plants.
For anyone who has a pond in their gardens, not only are you super lucky, but in November you may want to start thinking about how you can keep your wildlife safe during the seasons changing. A pond net is a great tool to protect your pond and can be cut to size so all of the water is covered to keep fallen leaves and other bits of debris out. You can keep the net up throughout the year or take it down once spring comes back around.
Now that summer is a thing of past, your soil will be cool enough to start planting certain flowers. November is the perfect time to plant tulips in the UK as they need a chilling period to bloom. You can plant tulips in borders or in your plant containers and come spring, they'll begin to blossom and add a pop of colour to your garden.
If you need some tools to help you plant your fruit, veggies or flowers, you'll find a wide selection of garden hand tools available to buy online and in your local branch.
If you have a greenhouse to store your plants and flowers, why not use this time to wash any empty pots or trays so they are clean and ready to go when you want to use them again. For those of you who don't have a greenhouse to store your pots and trays, you can keep them safe in your garden sheds and garages instead.
We have a supply of sponges, cloths and other cleaning products, online or in branch, should you need them.
With the weather about to make a turn, you might want to move any garden furnishings you have indoors. Move your tables, chairs, sofas, blankets, BBQ's and anything else you have in your garden that can be damaged by the rain or snow in to your sheds or garages.
Before the new year begins, why not start thinking about what you want to plant in the upcoming spring. Grab yourself a seed catalogue, flick though and order anything from Swiss chard, dill, kale, oregano, sage time and more so you're all ready to sow your seeds when the time comes. You can never be too prepared!
