The EASIEST Way to Create a Nutrient-rich Garden Bed for Spring!
As spring approaches, we turn our attention to preparing the garden beds that will soon become home to vibrant plants. The goal is simple: to create a bed rich in nutrients and filled with thriving microbes. With a few straightforward steps, this transformation can be achieved, setting the stage for a productive growing season.

The process begins by addressing what’s already on the garden bed. Old plants and weeds must be dealt with first. The weeds, being competitors for nutrients, are carefully removed, while the remains of previous plants are handled differently. Instead of discarding them, they are cut into small pieces and scattered evenly across the bed. This simple act starts the process of returning organic material to the soil, enriching it naturally over time. It’s important to leave the roots of the plants undisturbed. Hidden within the root balls are colonies of beneficial microbes that play a critical role in maintaining healthy soil. By preserving these microbes, we ensure the soil remains alive and fertile.
