September seasonal guide for gardening and waste management

September brings various seasonal tasks for gardeners and residents in Poland, ranging from plant maintenance to waste management.

For gardening, experts recommend pruning walnut trees in September rather than spring to avoid sap loss and infection. Tomato plants should receive potassium-rich fertilizer, such as wood ash solution, to aid ripening while reducing nitrogen. Other advice includes using fallen apples for compost or acid-loving plants, and implementing a “darkness ritual” for Christmas cacti to encourage winter blooming. Proper wheat sowing timing is also noted as critical for autumn tillering.

Regarding local services, the waste collection point (PSZOK) in Krotoszyn at ul. Ceglarska is temporarily closed due to road construction. To compensate, other locations in Zduny, Rzemiechów, and Sulmierzyce have expanded their operating hours, including additional Saturday openings throughout the month.
