Winter Mulch Your Vegetable Gardens For Maximum Results! The best way to protect your garden beds, plants, and soil, is to use a thick, organic layer of mulch in the fall, before winter comes. Soil is not designed to ever be exposed, at any time of year, but especially in winter! Cover those garden plots, raised beds, and containers with straw, hay, grass clippings, shredded leaves….whatever, and your garden will reward you the coming spring with unreal results.
Covering the soil does 3 things. Join me in this video as we explore the reasons for winter mulching and how those reasons differ from the reasons you mulch in the spring and summer.
Great video, I really enjoyed it. I mulch my garden pots too.
There's a tree that is between my place and the house behind. I use the leaves for mulch; but, I also use the stalks from the sunflowers that grow in my yard. I don't try to grow anything outdoors when there is snow on the ground. All my containers have been mulched.
i love you. very good videos you upload. please if you visit to israel come visit me i will give you israeli tomato seeds, the israeli tomatoes are the best! so sweet and tasty, rich in flavors. we in israel love tomatoes and we grow them all year. the tomato is a holy fruit in our country and a lot of money go to genetic engineering to make new and perfect species. sorry for the bad English.
great vid man! Im cold just watching it!! So me not raking my leaves out of my gardens is a good thing? Niiiiice. Great hiking footage too! Horth Hill?
Wow, praise the Lord, you pointed put some very interesting points about nature.
Nature mulches in the fall. ITS COMMON SENSE TO MULCH IN THE FALL!
PS That was a great video. Thank you!
awesome video sir
When I mulch with straw like that I have tons of oat seedings come up. Do you have that problem?
How can straw and leaves help my moss and bare spots in my lawn?
Nature does not need us to survive. Just copy paste nature into your garden.
I started to thick mulch my beds for the winter with horse manure (5 inches) and shredded leaves (5 inches). Some I also covered with card board. Will see how all that works out
Happy new year and blessings to you and your loved ones.
Great video! I learned a lot. Keep it up!
I have some new raised beds and I didn't mulch last fall…just found this video…yikes..I will this fall but for spring what should i do? I dont have grass clippings yet…(Ontario). Would appreciate your advice…and is that straw or hay you use? Does it matter
After watching several of your vids I've noticed that you often use straw that is chopped pretty finely. Do you get your straw already chopped or do you chop it up yourself. I have been mulching with a straw bale and it does the job but it's not nearly as easy to work with as the straw you use. I've considered running it over and bagging it with my mower but not sure how it would turn out.
