Thanks for the replies everyone! I was already planning to put the compost that I currently have out there, but will concentrate on getting a lot more (as cheaply as possible!) I think we are going to be okay on the drainage since it is on a higher area that slopes down somewhat. The water...
I'm not far from Mrscoyote and she isn't kidding about the cold! But I'll take that over a major storm. Hope it turns out to be less severe than expected for you. Stay safe.
