As summer comes to an end, you might be ready to wind down your garden and hang your gloves and pruners. Even if you’re tired, don’t ignore this very important garden task - COVER YOUR SOIL!

I get it, you’re tired and need a break from gardening in winter. But make sure you cover your soil so vital nutrients aren’t lost via wind, rain and snow. This will set you up for success for the next gardening year, when spring comes around.

Here are 4 Ways To Protect Your Soil over the colder months:
1. Add leaf mulch
2. Add compost
3. Plant a cover crop
4. Leave roots intact in the soil

All of the above methods will help release vital nutrients into the garden, prevent soil erosion from the elements and feed soil life/ microbiology during the colder months.

Which one will you be choosing this winter?
