Prepare your garden for winter with these 10 essential products.

To ensure your garden is healthy in spring, take care of the soil and remove weeds before freezing temperatures hit.

To aid the decomposition process in colder months, invest in a well-insulated compost bin. Additionally, turn off sprinkler systems or other watering systems to prevent damage from frost. It's also important to be mindful of the wildlife in your area, particularly during months when temperatures drop below zero. Providing fresh water for wildlife is crucial during these months.

Here are 10 products that will help get your garden winter-ready:

Composting your food and yard scraps during winter is possible without interruption. If you are already composting, add extra insulation to your bin with dry leaves or straw.

For beginners, a kitchen countertop composter like the Joseph Joseph 1 Gallon Compost Bin with Odor Filter, $30 at Wayfair, is a good option.
