PREPARING RAISED BEDS FOR THE WINTER

Raised beds are a popular and effective way to grow gardens.

In this video, I show you how I prepare the raised beds for winter, which also prepares them for the spring.

@Little-Peppers harvesting seeds.

When removing the "leftovers" from the current growing season, I collect seeds for the next year, feed some of the plant material to the livestock, and compost the rest. I add a healthy layer of rabbit manure or compost to the top of the barren bed, and then cover the raised bed in straw.

Adding garden scraps to the compost.

The manure and compost will continue to break down throughout the winter months and the straw will prevent weed seeds from growing and help keep moisture in the bed. Enjoy the video!
