Gardening Tips 1 – Build Healthy Soil
Build healthier soil by using compost and by adding mulch. The best time to add compost and mulch is in the spring. Compost has the nutrients your plants need, therefore, eliminating the need for fertilizers. Compost and mulch also hold and retain water so you don’t have to water as much. Adding mulch also inhibits weed seeds from growing. Mix 1‐3 inches of compost with your soil when making new planting beds or lawns. Compost also improves all types of soil.
