Last year was my first for no-till and I'm about to prepare again since I
can't do much winter veggie gardening (lack of sun).
There's been some talk in the organic group indicating that compost
shouldn't be spread in the winter. Perhaps it's different in our Med
climates? I'm in Berkeley. Anyway, last year, I forget when - perhaps
around early Nov. - I put down newspaper, a layer of compost and mulch
over that. It seemed to work pretty well but now I'm wondering if I should
be waiting until February to put down the compost and just put down mulch
instead.
