Wellness TO+ol #7
A wellness tip for your garden! Fall is an excellent time to apply compost to your soil.
Did you know that under the snow beneficial soil microbes are active all winter long?
Adding compost now will increase the diversity and populations of these microbes.
This will support your garden’s health and your beds will be fertile and ready for planting come spring!
