Fall Cleanup, Spring Bounty: 5 DIY Projects + Fall Special

As autumn paints the world in hues of gold and crimson, nature whispers a timeless truth - renewal. Just as trees shed their leaves, preparing for rejuvenation, our gardens too seek a fresh start. Fall cleanup & prep is more than just a seasonal chore—it's the first step towards a vibrant, bountiful edible landscape next year. In this article, we’ve included Five DIY Projects for you to get started at home, as well as included an offer for those looking for a helping hand. At Edible Landscapes Design Ltd, we recognize this transformative potential and offer you a unique proposition - our Maintenance-to-Makeover Plan. Whether you DIY or get some help, let this fall season be your canvas for a garden that will flourish, inspire, and sustain. 

Want to DIY? Five Fall Garden Projects to Jumpstart Your Journey:

1. Leaf Litter Bin for Natural Mulch:

   Construct a leaf litter bin using recycled materials or spare wood. Gather fallen leaves and let them decompose naturally. Use this nutrient-rich mulch to enhance soil quality and protect your plants during winter.

2. Rain Barrel System for Water Conservation:

   Build a rain barrel system to collect rainwater for your garden. Use a simple setup with gutters and barrels to harvest and store rainwater. This DIY project allows you to save water and irrigate your plants sustainably.

3. Build A Basemap & Map Wet and Dry Spots:

   Take a walk around your garden and start mapping out areas that retain more water (wet spots) and those that dry out quickly (dry spots). This understanding will guide you in planning for next season, and make the most of this previous resource.

4. Promote Pollinators with Wild Areas:

   Leave some areas of your garden wild and untamed. Allow native plants to flourish, creating a habitat for pollinators like bees and butterflies. Enhancing biodiversity in your garden is a vital step towards a thriving ecosystem.

5. Mushroom Inoculation for Soil Health:

   Inoculate woodchips and leaf litter with wine cap mushroom spawn. Wine cap mushrooms help break down organic matter, enriching the soil with nutrients. This natural process promotes healthy plant growth and enhances soil fertility, as well as provides a seasonal harvest of delicious mushrooms!

Our Maintenance-Make-Over Plan may be right for you if you’re located in the Greater Victoria Area.

What is a Maintenance Make-Over Plan?

After an initial cleanup, we maintain your landscape and enhance it with edible options. We slowly transition your high-maintenance and under-productive landscape into a low-maintenance edible oasis, on a weekly, bi-weekly, monthly or seasonal basis - you decide how often!

Why Invest in an Edible Landscaping Maintenance-Makeover Plan?

- Regenerative Abundance: Transitioning your garden from ornamental to edible is an investment in regenerative living. The plan ensures an abundance of fresh, organic produce right at your doorstep, year after year.

- Reduced Maintenance, Enhanced Beauty: An edible landscape can be designed for efficiency and aesthetics. Embrace a low-maintenance garden that not only adds beauty to your surroundings but also enriches your life.

- Seasonal Delights, Seasonal Savings: Our plan tailors your garden to the changing seasons, ensuring you enjoy a seasonal harvest while reducing grocery expenses, and breaking up costs into monthly/seasonal installments. It's an investment that pays dividends in culinary delight at a budget-friendly pace.

- Eco-Conscious Living: By growing your own organic produce, you contribute to a healthier planet. It's a conscious choice that aligns with eco-friendly practices, regenerating our ecosystems and fostering a healthier environment.

- Community and Family Engagement: Gardening is a delightful activity that can be enjoyed with family and friends. Our plan encourages community engagement and fosters bonds while nurturing your garden. Getting started this fall ensures you’ll have a great start next season.
