Winterizing the Vegetable Garden
Master Gardener Tom Mashour talks about what he does to get his vegetable garden ready for winter and planting in the spring. He likes to have his garden weed free in the spring. He talks about the pros and cons of three ways to get rid of weeds: herbicide, tilling, and hand weeding. Also, there are lots of leaves in the fall. Tom takes his leaves and grass clippings and dumps them on his garden to decompose over the winter. He also talks about planting green manure.
Tom talks about planning next year’s garden. He rotates his vegetables and explains how and why he does that. He starts his seeds indoors six weeks before it is time to plant.
