Book 29, Question 98
How do gardeners tuck their beds in for winter?
After the ground freezes, gardeners may spread a layer of mulch over perennials and strawberries to keep the soil from thawing and freezing over and over, which can push plants out of the ground.
They drain hoses, wrap tender shrubs, and cover rain barrels. Snow is a natural blanket. Letting plants rest is part of the cycle.
