From heavy snow to harsh winds, there are many uncontrollable factors that can kill or damage your tender plants during winter. That is why preparing your garden beds for next year's seeds and seedling transplant before winter settles in brings a multitude of benefits to your yard. Such preparation can ward off weeds, prevent diseases in next season's crops, and promote overall soil health. In this article, we have listed three smart ways to winterize your yard and garden to help you identify the most essential tasks for getting your garden ready for the cold days ahead.
Keep Your Garden Beds Clean
While it can be tempting to slack off a bit on gardening tasks as the season winds down, it is important to get back to composting dead plants, pulling up stakes, tending weeds, and fixing all the other clutter. Aside from their unappealing aesthetics, old and infected plants can harbor pests and diseases. At the same time, they can house beneficial bugs as well. Take the time to remove and put aside these plants to avoid spreading disease to your healthy vegetation. Take advantage of this time to scoop out the last of this season's "black gold" to ensure a nutrient-rich environment for the upcoming spring season.
Create Winter Protection for Your Garden Beds
Winter brings grueling growing conditions to houseplants like chilly temperatures, shorter days, lower light levels, and dry air. The secret to helping plants survive winter is to add an extra layer of protection so they don't get blown away by harsh winter winds. It is advisable to use frost protection cloth, as fabrics are relatively easy to use, and they give you the ability to cover wide swaths. At the same time, engage in protective measures for your patio furniture to minimize damage during freezing temperatures. Removal and storage also give the lawn and plants beneath and around your furniture the chance to regrow and enjoy more sunlight and water.
Apply Extra Winter Mulch
For the last of our three smart ways to winterize your yard and garden, it is advisable to apply layers of winter mulch to retain moisture in the soil and suppress weeds that absorb most of the nutrients in the ground. It also helps keep a steady temperature by blocking out the warmth of the sun to protect your plants from the damaging conditions of winter. When deciding which material to use for winter mulching, look for degradable and organic materials, such as shredded mulch, straw, pine needles, aged compost, or shredded leaves to allow the nutrients to break down into the soil.

A former judge, Catherine Marchi-Uhel has spent a lifetime pursuing justice. Now leading the quest for accountability for atrocities and war crimes committed in the Syrian civil war, she finds comfort in survivors’ resilience and their determination to move on with their lives.
“In Syria, I was really struck by this lack of revenge. I haven't seen many people wanting revenge. They want justice. And that's really a very powerful attitude.”
Since 2016, the UN’s IIIM has been helping investigate and prosecute the most serious atrocities committed in Syria during the devastating conflict. In this episode, Catherine Marchi-Uhel reflects on the painstaking job of documenting brutality, the importance of preserving evidence, and how she keeps faith in the face of humanity’s darkest crimes.

ODN Video: Israeli Military Close In On Home Of Top Hamas Leader
'Israeli Military Close In On Home Of Top Hamas Leader'.
Israeli forces are closing in on the house of Yahya Sinwar - a top Hamas leader.
However, the IDF say they believe Sinwar is using a network of tunnels to hide.
It comes as Israel’s Prime Minister is exerting pressure on the Red Cross to visit the remaining Israeli hostages in Gaza.
There are believed to be 138 hostages still being held in Gaza.
An expanding air and ground offensive in southern Gaza has displaced tens of thousands of Palestinians.
The UN says it’s created ‘apocalyptic conditions’, with the ‘remnants of a nation being driven into a pocket in the south’.
The organisation’s Secretary-General Antonio Gutteres has invoked Article 99 of the UN Charter, urging major nations to intervene.
It comes as the war between Israel and Hamas passes the two month mark, with an estimated death toll of over 17,000 people.

This video captures the moment Iran launched a rocket ‘carrying animals’ into space. But what animals were on board?
The ’Salman’ capsule is a step towards sending humans into orbit.
It successfully travelled to a height of 80 miles, according to Iran’s Telecommunications Minister.
It is unclear what animals were inside the 450kg rocket this time.
But Iran has sent multiple animals into space before, including rats, turtles and worms.
The most famous passenger on an Iranian rocket was this monkey.
It was the second monkey Iran sent to space and safely returned in 2013.
The first one didn’t survive…
As Iran gets closer to human spaceflight, western countries are worried that the same technology could be used for developing long-range weapons.

Global Video: Future of wildfires: What will happen to Canada's scorched forests as fires worsen?
After a record-breaking wildfire season in 2023, land double the size of Portugal has been burnt in Canada throughout the year, according to the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre (CIFFC). At 18.5 million hectares (46 million acres), that’s about five per cent of the country’s entire forests.
As the wildfire season slowly winds down with cooling temperatures, what happens to all the land and forests after the fires have been extinguished and nearby evacuated communities returned, especially with such a large swath of area affected?
In the past, fires didn’t come around an area more often than every 30 years, with the lack of trees from recent burns helping regulate the frequency of the fires and resetting the local ecosystem. But now, experts warn that climate change may be breaking that natural cycle.
“Unfortunately, what we're seeing now when we have these extremely intense fires is that, in some places, things burn so hot that they actually incinerate the seeds that are released,” warns ‘Dark Days at Noon: The Future of Fire’ author Edward Struzik. “The southern end of our boreal forest is going to disappear.”

Global Video: How rocks from an asteroid could teach us about our planet
On Sunday, rocks plucked from the asteroid 101955 Bennu will land on our planet, ready to be studied by scientists who hope this sample can shine a light on our planet – and how it came to be.
The sample comes to us seven years after NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft launched from Cape Canaveral, Fla. on a mission to study a near-Earth asteroid and three years after it successfully touched down on Bennu to collect a sample of an asteroid for the first time in the space agency’s history.
Bennu is described as a celestial “rubbish pile” that is made up of material dating back billions of years to when the solar system was forming. And as Alyssa Julie reports, scientists believe its rocks could hold a record of that time period.

Global Video: Maui wildfires: Wind, drought and invasive grass created perfect storm for devastating fires
Punishing winds, a severe drought and invasive grass created the perfect conditions for the devastating fires on Maui that have so far killed at least 67 people, experts say.
The exact cause of the fires is yet to be determined but the National Weather Service had issued warnings for high winds and dry weather as Hurricane Dora brushed south of Hawaii.
Craig Clements, a meteorology professor at San Jose State University, said Maui had already been in a severe drought, putting it at risk for fires. He said the steep mountains overlooking the hard-hit town of Lahain also exacerbated the high wind conditions, sending them into populated areas at high speed.
Alyssa Julie has more on how conditions fanned the flames of the fires.

Global Video: King Charles coronation: Crown jewels, centuries-old traditions and what it all means
The coronation of King Charles III will be the first time a King of England has his coronation televised and only the second-ever British monarch to do so after Queen Elizabeth II in 1953.
It’s a ceremony full of pomp and circumstance, cloaked in mystery and steeped in centuries-old traditions…that comes from a healthy dose of historical pettiness and happenstance.
During the ceremony, the monarch will be presented with the crown jewels, almost all of which were destroyed, altered, or lost to time over the often-tumultuous centuries of British history.
While the crown is the centrepiece of the regalia – what do sceptres, swords and a Scottish stone have to do with being anointed to the British throne?
