Preparing Your Alabama Garden for Winter Pests

Gardens can become havens for pests during Alabama's mild winters. To protect your plants:

• Clean Up Debris: Remove fallen leaves and plant matter where pests may hide.

• Mulch Appropriately: Apply mulch to regulate soil temperature and deter pests.

• Cover Vulnerable Plants: Use row covers to shield plants from insects.
  

These practices help maintain a healthy garden ecosystem throughout the winter.

By staying proactive and informed, Alabama homeowners can effectively manage pest challenges during December, ensuring a safe and comfortable living environment.
