First year with a greenhouse and it is doing great for our tomatoes. Very far NW corner of US so we need to extend the season. What can I do to improve the soil this winter for next year. I will remove the soil where the tomatoes were to minimize blight but would like to improve soil overall.

I use my greenhouse year round and just add about an inch and a bit of home made compost in about late april. The tomatoes go in then, then get replaced by salads in October for harvesting over winter and early spring. Blight isn’t an issue from the soil, but nematodes could be but I’ve not suffered from them
If you are growing in pots then you can reinvigorate the medium in them using things like lucerne/alfalfa and well rotted cow manure etc.
I’m in scotland so similar latitude to southern alaska
Who makes this model? I like it.
I live in the upper Midwest and my tomatoes **love** being planted in hay bales. It’s part of the fact that hay keeps their roots warm and partly because as the hay decomposes: it provides micronutrients.
