On today's 2 minute garden tip, I show how to insulate plants from cold without covers or blankets. When protecting plants from cold, I typically recommend row covers and hoop houses for vegetable gardens and plant jackets for fruit trees. However, sometimes it's not practical to cover plants this way.
What happens if you have a large garden that's too big to cover with row covers, sheets or blankets? What if it's too windy outside and covers cannot be used? Luckily, there is a simple solution! I will show you how to safely bury plants in mulch to insulate them from cold weather.
