Garden Prep for winter

Do you have a vegetable garden? Do you have trees in your yard too?  I bet you put your leaves out for city/town pickup. Instead, you can pile them onto the vegetable garden.  This will do two things: the garden soil will be insulated from the snow which will allow the worms to do their work closer to the surface and it will also provide easy mulch to be tilled into the soil in the spring.  Those two things will help to improve your garden soil for next season.  It will also reduce the work you have to do cleaning up the leaves.

Thanks,
