Having never lived any place where things get frozen in winter.... does mulching help keep a bit of heat in the soil or anything like that? Do you get freezing where you are?

It really depends on the level of freezing. It does freeze here on and off every winter but not for long. Generally, the mulch freezes but below the mulch the soil stays nice and relatively warm and worms stay active. I have never had my soil freeze where I apply a good layer of mulch.
