Putting the Garden to bed for the Winter

[jjannie]

Besides leaves - we do the same thing as well. I looked into adding sawdust since our woodshop central vacuum system is just about ready to need to be dumped. However, looking online I found doing so we'd need to then add about a high amount of a high nitrogen fertilizer - such as ammonia sulfate - 21-0-0 to the soil as it will rob soil of nitrogen as it breaks down, kind of defeating the concept of using it.  Of course, any worms would be happy, but the plants will not. 

 This week with all this 'warmer' weather we've been having, we're going to check the greenhouse for carrots still in it to see if they will still be edible.
