November in the Garden | Shredder Test! First Parsnips & Spring Bulbs

November in the garden at My Bountiful Acre! This week we’re tackling a collection of autumn gardening jobs, testing our new garden shredder, harvesting the first parsnips of the year and getting some spring bulbs planted.

We’ve invested in a Bosch AXT 25 TC garden shredder to help tackle our ever-growing mountain of garden waste. But how well does it work, and can we turn all those garden cuttings into useful free mulch for the garden?

There’s plenty more happening too. I’m giving the asparagus beds their winter tidy-up, adding homemade compost and comfrey, planting spring bulbs and harvesting more celeriac alongside our first parsnips of the season. Keep an eye out for an unexpected little visitor in the compost heap!

As autumn moves towards winter, there’s still plenty to do in the garden, but we’re also starting to look ahead to next spring.

Thanks for joining us at My Bountiful Acre. If you enjoy gardening, growing vegetables, flowers, wildlife and the occasional DIY project (with a few mishaps along the way!), do consider subscribing we'd love to have you along.

Happy Gardening Everyone
