What do y'all do to winterize your gardens? This is going to be my approach to the potato patch as winter approaches.

This goes hand in hand with green mulching! I'll be doing some in-place composting this year. My mother did some experimenting with it last year in her garden. She sowed some crimson clover after chopping down and mixing everything into the soil. The critters did a great job over winter, and you just mow down the clover in the spring for an additional nitrogen hit!
