Transform Your Garden With February Landscaping Tips Now
Preparing Your Soil for Spring Growth
One of the most impactful actions you can take this February is to prepare your garden's soil. Healthy soil is the foundation of a productive garden, and now is the perfect time to enhance its quality. Begin by testing your soil's pH levels and nutrient content, which can typically be done with a simple home testing kit available at garden centers or online retailers. Adjust the pH by adding lime to increase alkalinity or sulfur to increase acidity, ensuring optimal conditions for your plants1.
Incorporating organic matter such as compost or well-rotted manure into your soil will improve its structure and fertility. This not only enhances water retention but also provides essential nutrients that will support plant growth come spring2.
