There are lots of things to get in order in the yard for the winter season. While preparing your plants for frost might be at the top of your list, something you may have forgotten about is your compost bin.
More specifically, if you make compost, you need to put some measures in place to stop compost freezing in winter. Failing to do so will slow your composting down. 'If your compost pile freezes, don’t worry - it's a temporary setback, not a disaster,' reassures Lauren Click, founder of Let's Go Compost. 'While the microbial activity will pause when temperatures drop below freezing, the organic material in your pile will still undergo some decomposition, albeit slowly,' she explains.
