Vegetation hard freeze protection

As Jstpssg says straw, and deep.
To hold the straw down would a net, work better than the sheeting you used before, to beat the wind? I found that a net worked well over silage stack covers(weighted on the sides only)
As DJ54 says, the worms will enjoy the straw come spring and benefit the soil and your crop.
Good Luck.

Around here - folks buy baled straw. Leave it in the bale form - stack around their trees. Two bales per tree. Nylon strap around the whole thing. Holds the bales tight to the tree trunk.

Is that to protect from the cold, or to keep the wind from pummeling them?
