Unless you live in one of the areas that don’t get cold, winter time is coming. Other than moving, there is nothing you can do about it besides get ready for winter. Fall and winter are great times to collect items for your compost pile. Leaves fall everywhere.  Plants die and need to be disposed of. Perfect items for compost and they are free.

Here are Six Ways To Winterize Your Garden

Collect Those Leaves: No doubt about it. Leaves will be everywhere. By keeping those leaves raked, your lawn will look neater and they will not kill the grass and other plants. Use shredded leaves for mulch.

Got Container Plants? Bring in any container plants that you have outside. Tender plants will not last long at all no matter what you do when the temperatures drop.

Apply Mulch: Apply mulch to perennials in cold climates. Pinestraw, straw, or shredded leaves will work perfect to get the job done. What this will do is protect the roots of the plants during the freezing cold temperatures of winter.

Plant Cover Crops: Planting cover crops will enrich the soil with nitrogen. Also, it will help keep the weeds out and help with soil erosion when it rains. Perfect examples of cover crops are crimson clover, alfalfa, buckwheat, vetch, peas and fava beans.

Add Compost: Compost is the single most important supplement you can give your garden soil. When you add compost, it’s a great way to restore vitality to depleted soil. Fall and winter are great for adding compost to the soil. When you add fresh compost to the soil, it has been proven to increase water retention that will help plants during the hot growing season.

Plant Spring Bulbs: Most spring bulbs need to have a cold period before they can grow into beautiful spring flowers. Bulbs require a dormancy period that keeps the plant from growing during the cold weather potentially killing the new growth. The cold period (that will last  for a certain numbers of day’s) will  break the cycle and allow the plant to grow when the weather warms up. Some examples that will need to be planted during the fall / winter are Tulips, Daffodils, Hyacinth, Scilla, Crocus and Snowdrop.
