What are the Environmental Considerations for a Winter Vegetable Garden?
- Lighting. Full sun is imperative. While a little afternoon shade is helpful in many summer gardens, you need all the light and warmth you can get in a winter garden.
- Drainage. This applies to all seasons. Vegetables and herbs need a quick-draining soil. They don’t like “wet feet.”
- Soil. A good soil encourages faster growth and healthier plants — important factors in a winter garden, when a quicker harvest may be more imperative. Amend the soil with organic materials, such as compost and composted cow manure. You can also dig leaves into the soil adjacent to your planting rows; they’ll break down this year and the space will be ready for planting next year when you rotate your crops. Also, mulch with shredded leaves.
