Preparing Woody Ornamentals for Winter
October signals start for woody plant protection with two paths: improve plant condition and shield roots. Keep soil level at least equal to summer, avoid low ground that invites winter injury, and prepare mulch materials now. Bind long shoots to resist wind, use burlap or snow fence on small trees, and consider wind breakers for exposed borders.

Composting guidance burns plant waste for rich garden soil
Horticulturist Jetty Christopher of Rhode Island cautions against burning and buying organic matter for gardens. He advises layering six inches of organic material with fertilizer, then soil to create a rich compost bed. The note promotes home composting over burning. Also mentions a chrysanthemum show at Swan Point Cemetery in Providence with hours from dawn to sunset starting Sunday.
