mulching a winter garden

Question

I have several beds of chard, kale and other winter greens. I plan to cover them as the weather worsens. I just weeded my beds. Should I mulch them? I have straw and I have shredded wood.

Answer 1

It won't hurt to add some mulch around them. Straw works well. Here is more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/mulch/mulching-plants-in-winter.htm
