How to frost proof your garden

As the cold winter months approach, many people start to worry about how they will keep their plants alive. While some gardeners may be able to take advantage of the warmer days during this season, others are faced with frost and frozen ground. Luckily, there are ways to protect your plants from frost damage! 

When it comes to protecting your garden from the cold, there are a few different things you can do. One of the best ways to protect your plants is by using covers. You can use tarps, blankets, sheets, or even bubble wrap! If you have any trees in your garden, you can also use Christmas tree lights to keep them warm.

Mulching your plants

Another great way to protect your plants from frost is by mulching them. Mulching helps to insulate the soil and keeps it warm. You can use straw, leaves, pine needles, or even compost to mulch your plants.

Heating your garden

If you live in an area where frost is common, you may want to consider heating your garden. There are a few ways you can do this. First, you can use a fireplace or candles as a heat source. However, if you want to protect your plants from these heat sources, it is best that you build a small greenhouse around them. The third option is to install electric outdoor patio heaters in your garden.

Enclosing your garden in a greenhouse

If you live in an area where frost is common, it is probably best if you enclose your garden inside of a greenhouse. A greenhouse can help insulate plants from the cold and keep them healthy for much longer. In addition, greenhouses allow plants to grow and bloom year round.

Bring your plants indoors

If you live in an area where frost is common, it may be best for you to bring your plants indoors during the winter months. However, this is not always possible since some plants cannot survive indoors, such as outdoor trees and shrubs. If this is the case, you may want to consider planting some new plants during the winter and keeping your older ones outside.
