Feed Your Dirt--It Feeds You

It’s time to get some nutrition in the ground ahead of the spring planting season.  In areas with no frost or light frost, a light feeding of our Peace of Mind All-Purpose fertilizer will replenish soils that may be depleted after winter rains.  It will also add important beneficial microbes that colonize the root zone and help plants get the nutrition they need.  Just scatter it around according to package directions and scratch it in.

After you’ve fertilized, add one to three inches of mulch.  Well-aged compost will do the trick, and we recommend our Happy Frog Soil Conditioner as well.  The mulch will improve drainage, protect roots, smother weeds, and give the garden a jump-start. 

And if you’re in an area that’s still getting heavy freezes, a little mulch might help protect plants, but we recommend waiting to fertilize until the ground has thawed and plants start showing signs of new spring growth.
