The return of cold weather that marks the end of the growing season is often bittersweet. Try not to give up on your garden in the final weeks of fall; there’s still plenty of work to be done to prepare for the long winter ahead.
Quick Straw Pine Straw Bale in a Bag
More bang for your buck! Compressed bags of pine straw can cover anywhere from 80-100 square feet of ground space. Like bark mulch, pine is great for protecting your plant’s roots from cold temperatures or keeping the roots cool during periods of heat. It also helps with erosion. But unlike bark mulch, it breaks down much slower creating longer lasting benefits. Acidic plants thrive with the use of pine straw mulching.

Fast spreading from rhizomes, it will eliminate bed weeding and mulching in a couple of growing seasons. Adapts well to sun and part shade growing about 12″ tall with narrow, dark green leaves. Lavender flowers emerge in late summer. In a well established area can be quite impressive. Easy to maintain,
Juniper Blue Rug 3G
This silver-blue evergreen ground cover will only grow 6″ tall but can spread to 6 feet wide. Ideal choice for a sunny bank too steep to safely cut. Also helps control erosion issues on hillsides. Landscape goal with Blue Rug is to form a “carpet” in a couple of growing seasons, eliminating the need to add mulch or pull weeds as the plants grow together. Space 4′ apart for fast coverage, farther if patient. Offset each row to establish a pattern and slow erosion. Thrives in hot sun and poor soils once established.

Liriope Spicata 1G
This is the right choice for fast coverage of a bed or erosion issue. Fast spreading from rhizomes, it will eliminate bed weeding and mulching in a couple of growing seasons. Be careful not to add other plants to the bed since the Spicata will dominate. Adapts well to sun and part shade growing about 12″ tall with narrower leaves than the Muscari varieties. Lavender flowers in late summer in a well established bed can be quite impressive. Easy to maintain, cut back with your lawn mower or weed trimmer around March 1st. and all new growth will cover the plants by April.
