Hello, hello everyone. Welcome back to the Epic Gardening Podcast. I hope you are doing

awesome. Hope you're having a great time. I recently did a little bit of a vacation out into Joshua Tree, California.

Beautiful scenery, beautiful plant life out there despite it being a desert.

Obviously the Joshua tree itself is a fantastic plant. But it was cold and it reminded me that it

it's winter out there and it's winter everywhere in the northern hemisphere and so what

should we do for winter not in the northern hemisphere. And so what should we do for winter?

Not in the garden necessarily, but like things

that you can do to prep for the following year 2021.

If you're gardening and I hope you are, what I want to see is I want to see us all do

something in this off time that improves our garden next year.

So there's a couple of things that you can do.

The first thing I would say is if you haven't

experimented with composting yet, I would recommend building your very first compost bin. And I'm talking

about a hot compost bin. So're talking three by three you need a

cubic yard of material to get that going I've done one that's quite simple but

also quite elegant at least in my opinion and it is one where you use two by fours

and two by sixes so you don't need anything special as far as materials go.

The two by sixes that construct the frame you're able to use less of them because you leave a

little bit of a gap about a one inch gap between each of them which basically

allows airflow air exchange because it's an aerobic process you do need some

oxygen in there and it's just a nice way to do it.

Then what I do is I sandwich two by fours in between two by sixes for the front section and you can remove them almost as slats.
