Prepped my Surrogate Raised Bed for the Winter

Today I put the finishing touches on my Surrogate raised bed and is ready for it's annual winter hibernation. A coworker brought me 3 bags of fresh horse droppings which I covered the bed with. Then put 3 bags of Bio-compost over the horse droppings and it will be ready for planting next May.
I went no till on this bed 3 years ago and this is how I have been prepping it each fall. Gets better each year and next year I'm declaring war on the mouse/rat population which have developed a taste for heirloom tomatoes. Ami
