A little work now could spare you from a lot of work next year.

That encouragement from the Lawn and Garden Journal's Duayne Friesen.


He says it's easier for us to work with our soil now than in spring because it's not as wet.
And if your soil is hard and clumpy, Friesen recommends a clay buster before adding your compost.


Fall is also an ideal time for planting many perennials, shrubs, and trees.
