As the leaves fall and temperatures drop, you may wonder how to winterize raised garden beds that you have used to grow vegetables, flowers, or herbs. Preparing raised beds for winter is a great proactive way to ensure they are ready and in fine fettle for spring.
My vegetable-growing journey started with a raised bed and throughout the years I worked in kitchen gardens filled with raised garden beds. Alongside protecting hardy crops and harvesting produce for the chefs in winter, clearing beds and improving the soil was important over the colder months.
