Tips to make your yard a constant joy Just because there is frost on the ground and a chill in the air does not mean that your garden has to suffer. There is a lot that can be done to help your garden during the winter months, Debbie Frost, Ector County extension agent, said.
Winter is the perfect time to get ready for the spring.
One of her suggestions is to start a compost pile. Grass, plant material, leaves, kitchen peels, coffee grounds, tea bags and paper towels all make great composting material, Frost said. Just remember to turn your pile regularly. For a compost that does not require turning, Frost suggests vermicomposting. Vermicomposting is composting with worms.
