Garden Tips for Autumn

garden tips for autumn

Hi folks,
this article is about garden tips for Autumn.  Well the weather in July and August was disagreeable this year but crops have been doing well and gardens are looking great!  Hopefully we’ll get some fine weather this Autumn so that we can enjoy sitting out in the garden and enjoy the fruits of our labour during the Summer, or the fruits of someone else’s labour as the case may be:-)

Well there is always lots to do in the garden.  If you have the time or the interest, it’s really a very satisfying hobby.  Some people can be put off as they think it’s a lot of work and they don’t know where to start.   However, keeping a garden doesn’t have to be a big job.  You can literally get started by planting a few flowers or vegetables in a window box or corner of the garden and progress from there year by year as you become more confident.

There are many gardening groups that you can join to get some more tips and keep you motivated:-)  Another approach is to do some of the smaller gardening tasks yourself and hire a local gardener for the big work of planting and digging, to keep an eye out for, and spray for pests and diseases.  He/she can recommend a weekly spray program if you wish to do the spraying yourself.  Anyway, enough of the introduction, let’s get started, here is a list of the Autumn jobs and tips for the garden below, hope you enjoy reading through them:-

Electricity Price Comparison – Ireland – June 2015

Electricity Price Comparison
Hi Folks,
this week we carried an electricity price comparison between the 5 main electricity suppliers in Ireland.  As you know we regularly carry out price comparisons for tradesmen related services.  While electricity is nothing to do with tradesmen, it is a major cost in any household so we felt it was fitting to carry out this comparison to try and help households save money on their electricity supply costs.

Panda Power is a new electricity supplier who has entered the market recently so it’s a good time to compare prices.  While we show standard and saving plans at the top, the summary is based on saving plans combined with you being a new customer and/or signing a fixed term contract.   We hope most people would be availing of the saving plans as this is the best way to save money on your electricity bill.  You can see the results of the electricity price comparison below:-
