Autumn might signal the end of the main growing season, but there are plenty of tasks to do in the garden before the frost arrives. Learning how to prepare soil for winter is one of them – and right now, experts are warning that leaving soil bare over the winter months can be detrimental to your garden's health.
When it comes to getting your garden ready for winter, soil preparation is one of the most rewarding measures you can take for your garden long-term. With harsher weather on the way, protecting your soil from the elements will reduce erosion, bolster nutrients and lift temperatures for earlier spring planting. Working on the soil is key to preparing raised beds for winter, too.
