1. First we recommended that you write down some notes.
2. Use a rake and a heavy tarp to move all the leaves, branches and anything else that has gathered over the winter.
3. Once the ground is clear, it’s time to prepare the soil.
4. We are mixing about 1/3 organic composte to 2/3 organic soil we actually harvested from around the property.  This helped to reduce our carbon foot print.
5. You should rely on a soil test to determine any additional nutrients that your soil may need.  Remember that soil will leach a certain amount of nutrients out during a growing season and even over the winter.
6. Once you preform these and the 8 essential steps mentioned in the main article.  Your garden area should be just about ready for planning your garden layout!
