Why You Should Let Your Soil Rest During the Winter for a Healthier Spring Garden
• Letting soil rest in winter maintains structure via freeze-thaw cycles, improving spring aeration and drainage.
• Winter mulching and composting protect roots from frost and enrich soil with nutrients for spring planting.
• Resting soil helps retain moisture, providing a water reserve for plants in the spring.
Winter rest benefits garden soil like people
As winter approaches, it's a natural time to think about rest and preparation, and that includes your garden soil. Just like people, soil benefits from a period of rest during the colder months. Leaving your soil undisturbed throughout the winter can lead to a healthier and more productive garden in the spring.
