It is that time of year when you start dreaming of a lush garden brimming with colorful flowers and edible fruits and vegetables. Well, it is that time of year also when you should start preparing the soil for your lush garden. Experienced gardeners know that healthy soil is the foundation for a healthy garden. That, plus air and enough sunlight will reward you with enviable flowers and delicious edibles. Grab your hoe and get going.
Your first job is to loosen up the soil. A good soil should be able to hold water, air, nutrients and allow roots to move through it with ease. It is a good sign if you see worms and microorganisms. They are extremely valuable to your garden. With healthy soil, you can just pop spring bulbs into holes and they will grow.
