organic gardening tip of the week

Think Ahead to Fall – We may still be in the throes of summer, but fall will be here before you know it.  Now is a good time to start thinking about your fall garden.  Give yourself plenty of time to prep your soil.  First, pull out plants that have finished their lifecycle and compost anything that isn’t diseased.  Then add a nice layer of organic matter – between ½ an inch to 1 inch of compost is recommended, but you can do more if you feel you need it.  Water it well and while you’re waiting, start plotting out your cool weather crops. This is the time to dream big about greens and brassicas.  Many of these crops do better in the fall than during spring because they like to germinate in warm weather and mature in cool weather.  If you need help planning your garden this fall, join us for the Fall Garden Planning Workshop this Saturday, August 28, from 3-5 p.m.
