MULCH, MULCH, MULCH

Gardening Experts throughout the Northwest recommend mulching your beds now, to protect plants from freezing temperatures, as well adding nutrients back into the soil. If you are lucky enough to have a nice compost pile or bin, begin by spreading a minimum of 3 inches over the beds. For more tender plants add
another inch or two, or mound up around the plant. We highly recommend our Kelloggs, Garden In Bloom, Organic Compost for those needing a conditioner that will protect the plants as well as help break down clay material.
