Hi, i was wondering how you all clear your gardens at the end of summer. I am tempted to leave all the plants as they are so that all the insects that are there now will have somewhere to shelter over winter, and the nutrients will go back in to the soil as they slowly rot over winter, then do the big clear up in early spring. Or is it better to cut down, pull up and compost everything in Autumn ?.
Partially.
I liked rudbeckia for the late flowers and seed heads last winter a dogwood with an ornamental grass. This year I added many more dogwoods and recently put in more rudbeckia so something going on.
Dahlias won’t make it so they’re out, most of the wilderness will be trimmed back but not all and I have a couple of wood piles left out.
