A BUDGET buy can help to protect your home from strong winds this winter.
And with Storm Amy already causing damage in some parts of the country, you’ll want to take every measure necessary before the next bout of gale force winds.
From structural damage to flooding, stormy weather can cause costly issues to your home.
And while you may have taken all the precautions when it comes to your house, it is also vital to prep your garden.
Essential garden job
According to the gardening experts at Country Living, an essential autumn job involves pruning your plants.
While storms are part and parcel to life in the UK, Mike Carthew from Garden Footprint explained the importance of prepping your hedges and trees.
“Tall perennials that haven’t yet died back can act like sails — if you see stems leaning or rocking at the base, thin them slightly so crowns and roots aren’t torn,” he advised.
“With shrubs and young trees, extra leaves mean more wind-load, so a light prune or thinning now reduces the chance of branches snapping or roots lifting.”
He added that evergreens are especially prone to this, explaining that “a gentle tidy pays off”.
So if your plants are located near your house, this is an especially important job to prevent branches being blown into your home.

October gardening jobs
The Sun’s Gardening Editor, Veronica Lorraine, has shared the jobs you need to tackle in October.
“It’s a good time to trim deciduous hedges – like box, yew, hawthorn, hornbean and beech – plus hedge trimmers are a great upper body workout!
Make leafmould – gather up all the fallen leaves and fill either bin bags or plastic carrier bags. Seal the top, stick a few small holes in the bag – and then store for a year or more. Free compost!
It’s unlikely you’ll get any more red tomatoes so have one final harvest and chuck the plants on the compost. See if you can get the green ones to ripen by putting in a drawer (some say with a banana). Also keep the seeds from a couple – and plant again next year if they went well.
Finish getting in your spring bulbs. Ideally you’d have done daffs and alliums, but tulips are better in the ground when the soil temperature gets a bit colder.
It’s good to leave some plant litter in the ground – it adds to the nutrients as it rots down, and provides shelter and food for insects. But remove the manky brown bits collapsing all over the lawn/winter structure.
Mulch – it not only suppresses weeds, but keeps the soil warm, improves water retention and adds a little winter duvet to your outside space.
October’s a good month for carrots, peas, asparagus, broad beans, and rhubarb.”
It also features a lockable option for safe storage and an egonomic T-bar handle.
As with most middle aisle buys from Lidl, this buy comes with a three-year warranty.
