“Get as much of the root out as possible, and that enables you to clear them out.”
The RHS also recommended pulling weeds out by hand.
On its website, the RHS advised: “Pull up annual weeds by hand before they set seed.
“Perennial weeds should be dug out with as much root (or bulb) as possible, using a hand or border fork.
Other autumnal tasks to do now, according to David, are raking leaves off the lawn and trimming trees.
The horticulturist said: “Obviously there are lots of leaves on the lawn – leaves fall and you end up with big dumps of them on the lawn.
“Some of the autumnal jobs are to stop leaves covering and dumping on the lawn, as without light it can damage some of the growth.
“So, raking leaves off the lawn is one of the key things you can do.”
David added: “Also trimming.
“As soon as you start losing leaves off a lot of the branches of the trees, you can see the structure and the shape of the tree, and it enables you to prune it.”
