As the weather cools down, it’s essential to prepare your garden for the winter season. Protecting your plants and equipment from harsh weather conditions is crucial to ensure a smooth start when spring arrives. Here are our top 10 tips for a winter garden checklist to help you keep your yard safe and sound until warmer weather returns.
Clear the drains of outside sinks to prevent any remaining water from freezing and cracking the piping. Insulate your greenhouse by attaching bubble wrap to the frame using greenhouse clips. This is easy to put up and remove, and it will help keep your greenhouse warm and protected from the cold. Don’t forget to open doors and windows on mild days to increase ventilation around your plants, and close them at dusk to protect their roots from freezing. In regions that experience a lot of rain, consider laying pots on their side to avoid waterlogging the compost. This will help keep your plants healthy and thriving until spring arrives.
