How to easily get your raised bed ready for winter

The cold and dark of autumn doesn't mean that gardening is over. To ensure your raised beds are ready for spring, a little extra effort is required this autumn. At byJEMA, where we specialise in raised beds and planter boxes in corten steel, galvanised steel and black painted steel, we share four simple tips to prepare your raised beds for winter.

1. Clean up the bed

Remove weeds and old plant debris to give your overwintering plants the best conditions. Even though it's winter, weeds can still survive and grow in your beds, so weeding is important.

2. Add a layer of compost

Give your plants a nutrient-rich start to spring by covering the bed with compost. Use organic waste such as vegetable peelings and old plant scraps or choose pre-purchased soil conditioner.

3. Protect with leaves and branches

Protect your plants from frost by covering the bed with a layer of leaves and branches. This insulating layer will help keep the soil warm through the winter.

4. Add new soil continuously

As the soil in your raised bed collapses, you can add an even layer of fresh topsoil. Combine this with compost to ensure a nutrient-rich soil structure that will favour plant growth next year.

By following these simple steps, you can give your plants the best conditions to survive the winter and flourish in the spring. At byJEMA, we offer raised beds in durable materials that are perfect for those who want to create a beautiful and functional garden.
