After reading it on TB I'm doing the back to Eden garden. I've gotten all of the old grass encrusted raised beds broken down, the paper is spread and chips are on top.
I have one really nice pepper plant that I want to try and save through winter. It has two tomato cages on top of it, so I wrapped chicken wire aroung the bottom cage and then took another circle of chicken wire with a 6 or 7 inch void and put it around the first.
I filled up the void between the chicken wire with wood chips. I plan to add more chips as it settles and cover the top with some row cover.
It should be interesting to see what happens. If this works I'll try next year with tomatoes.
Our winters here are usually fairly mild, but there is always a week or two of no kidding winter. I'll let you all know how this works out.
