Winter preparations
I have just cleaned up most of my raised beds from the summer/fall season. I
may have been a little tardy but I have been very busy. I am considering laying a layer of compost on my beds now. I am wondering if others have a successful strategy in winterizing garden beds for a Central Texas winter. In the past I have planted clover and other cover crops but I can't say that I have observed any real difference in performance come spring. |

Winter preparations
I like cypress mulch. I've always disliked clover as it can become invasive.

I welcome an invasion of clover, but what I think you may be talking
about is oxalis. On Thu, 15 Dec 2005 18:00:57 GMT, "Latosha Washington" wrote: I like cypress mulch. I've always disliked clover as it can become invasive. "Jim Marrs" wrote in message ...

I usually use Crimson clover. It does not grow back and does a decent job of
keeping the soil loose. Jim "Latosha Washington" wrote in message ... I like cypress mulch. I've always disliked clover as it can become invasive. "Jim Marrs" wrote in message ...
