Now is the time to work in the garden. Seem crazy? We’re only a couple of months away from early Spring gardening. So December and January are months to build up your garden soil.

1. Put down a layer of cardboard to kill weeds.

2. Add a layer of leaves.

3. Add a layer of raw compost.

4. Cover with thick layers of newspaper.

5. I cover my beds with landscape cloth to keep everything in place.

This year we're deepening the beds so we'll be adding creosote timbers around the gardens.
