Cheryl Holmes+Followthe raised bed winter prep that saves spring headaches Fall is the best time to prep your raised beds, but most people wait until spring and face weeds, pests, and compacted soil. Here’s my winter prep routine: Remove spent plants but leave roots if healthy — worms will break them down. Add 2 inches of compost to replenish nutrients. Cover with shredded leaves or straw to prevent erosion and provide insulation. Place a lightweight mesh over beds if you have deer or rabbits nearby. By spring, beds are loose, nutrient-rich, and pest pressure is lower because beneficial insects overwinter safely. It only takes 30–40 minutes per bed, but it saves hours of spring work and ensures a healthy early harvest. #Gardening #WinterPrep00Share
