How to Prepare Your Spring Garden
As a Cincinnati gardener, your garden is exposed to Cincinnati weather. This spring, before you plant your trees and flowers, make sure to get your garden plant-ready by prepping your beds for spring planting. It is as easy as one, two, three!
How to Prepare Your Spring Garden
- Get rid of winter debris in your garden beds by raking and removing sticks, leaves, and blown-in papers. Also, be sure to remove last year’s annuals and overwintering perennials. Don’t forget to rake out any winter weeds!
- You are what you eat. Also, your plants are as healthy as their environment. Be sure to prep your soil in your flower beds. You can prep your soil for spring by raking or tilling in soil amendments such as Pine Soil Conditioner, The Cow (composted manure), etc. By adding organic matter, it creates soils that are alive with microbial activity, earthworms, etc. that will create an environment to grow healthy plants.
- Plan before you plant your spring garden. This will save you both time and money.
