Gardening Question? Fall Maintenance

[Guest guest]

Howdy folks,

 

I have another question today

 

What part of the country do you live in and what are you doing with your

garden now to prepare it for the winter months?

 

I live on the Front Range of Colorado. I am cutting back all of my

perennials and raking all of my leaves into my planting beds and

covering them with wood shavings mulch .. that way the leaf piles on the

plant beds don't blow away, it provides ground protection all winter,

and by next spring the leaves will have composted and I get the benefit

of healthy planting beds, full of mulch which discourages weed growth

and is attractive! I really find throwing away leaves to be a big waste

for me being as frugal as I am .. they condition the soil so much and

cost nothing!
