WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO DO BEFORE YOU PLANT?
ANOTHER GREAT QUESTION!
In this week’s archived show from previous years, the Garden Guru said that whenever you’re planting anything — whether it’s a tree or shrub or a perennial… the most important thing to remember is soil preparation! You only really have that first chance to prepare the soil adequately. If you don’t do it adequately, you really can’t dig it up later on and do it again once you’ve planted. If you’re planting vegetables or annuals, of course, that’s a different matter because every spring you can start over. Lynn said it’s more important to prepare the soil than it is to actually plant additional plants.
To prepare your soil, think about getting something organic to mix into your existing soil — what Lynn’s talking about are things that occur naturally — like products we sell at Payne’s Organic Soil Yard (POSY) such as a variety of mulch, pecan shells, soil amendments, and more.
Listen to Lynn’s tip on why soil preparation is so important!
