🌱 Julie’s Vegetable Patch is taking shape! In this episode, we’re preparing the soil for planting later in the season by enriching it with homemade compost, organic manure, and natural coverings to create the perfect growing environment. We also take a look inside Julie’s greenhouse, where she keeps plants alive through winter and starts early seedings. And to wrap it up, Francesco gets creative with a bit of DIY compost bag repair!
If you love organic gardening, sustainable growing, and easy garden tips, this series is for you! Follow along as we transform this space from winter-ready to a thriving vegetable patch.

Covering soil in winter helps:
✔ Retain warmth & encourage microbial activity
✔ Suppress weeds & prevent soil erosion
✔ Improve soil structure & fertility
