Hi, all.
I know that in normal times one should avoid walking on the garden soil at
almost all costs(except via footpaths etc.). What about in winter?
I'm thinking the answer has something to do with the temperature of the soil
at so many inches down, but would sure appreciate specifics. My husband
(former truck farmer who refuses to believe he's not therefore a gardener)
tromps all over the gardens in the winter. He's about 185 lbs.
Thanks for specific help!
