About this episode
Contemplating which tasks should be on your mind when preparing your flower beds in the fall? Wondering how bed preparation may differ depending on your plans for the space or the type of bed (conventional versus no-till)? Today, Lisa and Layne discuss their checklist of key considerations to keep in mind when preparing your beds in the fall. They cover when and how to tear down conventional and no-till beds, how to prepare beds depending on your plans for the space (planting immediately, cover cropping, or covering with a silage tarp), options for mulching pathways, the importance of having hoops and row covers in place and ready to go, and more. Listen to the podcast and learn how to prepare your flower beds in the fall for a beautiful spring garden!
