Should You Amend Your Garden Soil Now?

In this video, I address a question from a recent comment: Now that it is late Fall, should you amend your garden soil now, or should you wait until Spring is closer? The answer: it depends! This video explains when to amend garden soil based on your unique situation and which soil amendments are best for healthy garden soil.

Amending garden soil is something that must be done for healthy soil, but with so many possible soil amendments, where do we begin? Do we use fertilizers, compost, mulch, other forms of organic matter or other commercial products? Do we use different procedures for earth bed gardens and raised bed gardens? And when do we apply them? This video breaks it all down for you!
