What to do in the garden in November

  • Fertilise lemon trees and check that soil around trees is not drying out.
  • Move tender pot plants to areas away from excessive late-afternoon sun.
  • Spray Dipel, an organic product that doesn't kill beneficial insects, to control codling moth in apple trees.
  • Lay snail bait around vegetable beds to stop voracious snails and slugs in their tracks.
  • Feed tree ferns - both the soil and the trunk - with half-strength liquid fertiliser.
