I get busy and let it fall into compost, all of it. I don't creak open the door of my greenhouse until the air starts to warm in the Spring. I included a link to this post, here on my blog.<br /><br />http://cwestermark.wordpress.com/2012/11/12/fall-clean-up/<br /><br />Thanks for the inspiration. One day, I hope to be better!<br />-CWAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-788187538635738913.post-7357174224628822992012-10-26T09:43:01.115-07:002012-10-26T09:43:01.115-07:00Wonderful!

I love the idea of soil blocks too... will try them next year. We've yet to build cold frames but it's on the list!

I used heavy landscape fabric for the floor which worked out great. I also switched over to using soil blocks instead of seed starting trays. I save on having to buy pots (I don't really like plastic anyway) and use my own compost for the starting soil. I have had great yields starting this way and the soil blocks minimize the stress on the roots when transplanting in to the garden. My greenhouse is also cleaned out and ready for next spring and my cold frames are planted with lettuce, arugula and kale to supply us with fresh greens all winter! Love your blog and your photos!<br />~RobRob https://www.blogger.com/profile/03148074561817650054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-788187538635738913.post-33958250332432288362012-10-23T17:02:47.579-07:002012-10-23T17:02:47.579-07:00Wonderful list and a few things on there I had for...Wonderful list and a few things on there I had forgotten about - Beautiful pictures as well!
