After all of this rain your garden will be growing wildly, your soil is full of moisture helping your plants grow. However come Autumn and Winter which are notoriously drier months of the year you need to retain the moisture in your garden soils.  To do this add a Cypress mulch over your garden this will protect your plants water source through the drier months of Autumn and Winter and ensure they are ready to grow strongly come Spring.

Remember to water your plants regularly as per your local Nurseries instructions (and council regulations). Mulch will significantly reduce the amount of water you use in your garden, but it will not make your plants drought proof. See your local landscape supplier or Nursery to get expert advice for your specific garden.
