Get Your Garden Ready For Winter

Safe Ice Melter

The onset of the cold winter weather is nearing. For gardeners, this means that it will soon be time to put away your hoses and tools until next spring’s growing season begins. However, your planting responsibilities aren’t quite finished for the year, as plants are not ready to withstand the cold and harsh chemicals of ice melt. Getting your garden winter-ready also includes a safe ice melter that doesn’t harm the greenery. People tend to use homemade sidewalk deicer, assuming it to be a safe bet. But not all deicers are safe and not all are effective for snow removal. With these simple tips, you can get your garden winter-ready.

Protect Them From The Cold 

When annual plants die, they can be plucked out and placed in the compost pile. Perennials and bulb plants, on the other hand, may require additional protection to survive the winter. 

Before the first frost, start reducing the amount of water you give perennials to help harden them up and better prepare them for the winter. Bulb plants that bloom in the early spring can typically be left in the ground all winter.

Keep An Eye Out For Snow 

The damage that heavy and lengthy spells of snow and ice can cause to your garden’s trees and plants cannot be understated. More than accumulating snow, it is the toxic ice melt that will damage the greenery. The salt-based ice melts will destroy your plants and will damage your concrete. Hence, choose a safe and concrete-friendly ice melt. Safe Paw is the chloride-free safe ice melter and is the most plant-friendly ice melt available in the market. Its ingredients will not only keep your concrete safe but will provide additional safety for your yard.

Use Mulch 

Spreading a layer of mulch or dead leaves before the first freeze is also a good idea. Mulch on top of your beds protects any plants remaining in the ground from freezing weather. Furthermore, the mulch will keep rain, snow, and ice from washing away your topsoil or removing its nutrients.

Last-minute Planting 

Planting early-flowering bulbs like tulips, daffodils, and iris in the fall is perfect. To grow in the autumn, most early-flowering bulbs must freeze during the winter. Because of the drier earth and cooler temperatures, many perennials thrive when planted in the winter.

Flower Beds And Compost Garden

Composting in the fall helps to deliver extra nutrients to your plants the following spring. Composting in the fall gives nutrients more time to break down and penetrate deeper into the soil, resulting in improved growing conditions for the next season. In general, a thin layer of compost needs to be put over the top layer of the soil.
