Last fall, you gathered all of the compost material from last summer, fall leaves, spent annuals and winter prunings, so you’ve got a good supply of soil enriching nutrients for the spring gardening tasks at hand. If your soil is still too wet to work, aerating your lawn can be done now, to give that greenery a chance to buff up for healthy spring growth, staving off molds and giving a good dose of greening. Once you’ve got your seeds and starts going, the next major step in spring gardening preparation is to work the ground. Be sure to wait until the ground is no longer soaked. If you’ve still got wet, soggy soil, you’ll only compact the soil by working it now.
