Spring is in full swing and it's almost time to get those
starter plants and seeds into the ground. Here are a few things you can
do to get your garden spot ready for a productive season.
Clear the areaOver the winter months, your garden has
probably collected debris that needs to be removed before you get
started with working the ground. Remove all sticks, twigs, garbage, etc.
The ground is soft and the dead growth is brittle, so get to work
removing everything that is dead or a weed.
Work on soilIf you tilled your garden in the fall, you
should not have to do it again. However, if you haven't, now is the time
to lay down manure or your fertilizer of choice and work it into the
soil. This will provide a strong nutrient base for healthy plants, as
well as restore the nutrients your vegetables took from the soil the
previous year. If you have already tilled, use gloves to work fertilizer
in by hand where you will be planting.
