Cleaning up for Next year
I spent a few hours on Saturday, clearing the garden, and tilling to be ready for next year. After Paul spent time this summer fixing the tiller up and making it run like new, I spent several hours tiling so the garden is almost ready for next year. I think I need to put something on top of the soil so it will be ready to plant for the fall, but I’m not exactly sure what I should put on it. I read somewhere that I should put peat moss and compost on top of the soil and then as it snows and it freezes and melts the nutrients are supposed to seep into the soil to make it better for next year. Any thoughts? It seems a little silly that I am asking advice about compost and that sort of stuff, but its about gardening, someone should have some insite for me.
