Seasonal advice for autumn gardening and indoor laundry

Seasonal advice is being shared regarding autumn garden maintenance and indoor laundry management.

For gardeners, experts warn against common mistakes made during the rush to prepare for winter. Over-cleaning a garden, such as removing every leaf or pruning all shrubs too aggressively, can damage roots, encourage unwanted new growth, or destroy habitats for beneficial insects.

Regarding household tasks, a method is suggested to speed up the drying of clothes indoors during damp autumn and winter months. By rolling a damp garment tightly inside a large, dry towel and applying pressure for 30 to 45 seconds, the towel absorbs excess moisture, significantly reducing subsequent drying time. Additionally, using an extra spin cycle in a washing machine and ensuring regular room ventilation can help manage moisture levels when drying laundry inside.
