Sharon Soltzberg, a member of the Board of Directors of the Needham Community Farm, gave some gardening tips for November in the Boston.com Needham column, saying:
- Now is the time to move all unharvested vegetables and fruit from your garden to your compost heap. Damaged or diseased plants should not be put into the compost.
- Adjust the pH (acidity) of the soil.
- Tuck your vegetable garden in for winter by planting a cover crop. Pine needles or salt marsh hay can be applied to the paths between the vegetable rows. Another option is to pile some of your decayed or partly-decayed compost on top of the vegetable garden. In spring, earthworms will distribute the compost through the soil.
