It's cold outside! Luckily, if you're waiting for spring to hurry up and get here so you can get back outside and do some gardening, we've got some tips and tricks to keep your garden alive and well through the cold winter months! Insulation A 2-3 inch layer of your choice of either mulch, straw, or leaves will help keep your plant's base and root system warm, as well as protect your plants from pelting rain and snow. Check your soil Checking the condition of your soil is essential to the survival of your garden. Checking PH levels, soil acidity, and getting your soil tested by your local master gardeners are all steps you can take to ensure that your garden makes it to spring. Composting! Spreading compost after fall will give your garden a much-needed boost before spring comes. 3-4 inches of aged compost over your soil will help keep in warmth, and gives your vegetables the nutrients they need to grow big and hearty! Proper Garden protection For harsher winters, you may want to opt for a little more protection for your garden. The more expensive option would be the classic greenhouse, which absorbs heat and protects your vegetables from the harsh elements. For a cheaper option, a hoop tunnel (heavy, translucent plastic over PVC pipes) works just fine to protect your garden as well. Get those weeds out!
Work smarter, not harder! Wait until the first frost hits to pull weeds from your garden, they'll come up in clumps. Meaning, less time pulling weeds and more time doing the fun parts of gardening!
