Carefully preparing our garden beds is essential to the success of our crops. Important considerations include soil composition and fertility, nutrient availability, rock and debris-free soil, and uniform bed length and width.

To prepare beds for new plants, we typically do the following:

1. Remove previous crops and weeds.

2. Aerate the soil with a broadfork.

3. Spread compost and/or nutrients, minerals, and organic matter.

4. Tilth (gently mix) the top 2” of soil.
