Give your vegetable garden a healthy start in the spring by following my four simple steps! 1) Inspect and repair garden beds, trellises, and other structures. 2) Tidy up by removing and composting garden debris and removing weeds. 3) Loosen the soil. 4) Add organic soil amendments like compost or aged manure as well as organic fertilizers, as needed. Are you ready to get growing?

I cover my beds with shredded leaves in the fall. This week I removed the leaves revealing a lovely bed of dark, uncompacted soil underneath. I won’t till it, but I have several buckets of homemade compost to add to the soil where I’ll be planting. I will wait until the wind storm passes before setting up my mini-hoop tunnel!
Niki mentions doing a soil test. Where can I buy a soil test? (Southshore Nova Scotia)
Hi Nicki, I was hoping to find you on stitcher ect. but not finding it..I also tried to find episodes of the radio show you were on or are on? Are there any available somewhere?
I am so glad you are doing You Tube videos.Will you consider doing more videos and possibly podcasts?
Sent you a question on your Facebook messenger. Wondering how if you could pop over and check it out ?
