To protect your garden from frost damage, you can try the following methods:
-
Cover your plants: Use frost cloths, old bedsheets, or blankets to cover vulnerable plants overnight when frost is expected.
-
Mulch: Apply a thick layer of mulch around the base of plants to help retain soil heat and protect roots from freezing temperatures.
-
Water your plants: Watering your plants before a frost can help to insulate them and prevent damage. However, make sure to water early in the day so the plants have time to absorb the moisture before temperatures drop.
-
Bring potted plants indoors: If you have potted plants, consider bringing them indoors or placing them in a sheltered area to protect them from frost.
-
Use cold frames or row covers: Consider using cold frames or row covers to provide additional protection to your plants during cold weather.
By taking these precautions, you can help protect your garden from frost damage.
