Not Quite Ready to Plant?

If you are not going to plant into your newly prepped vegetable gardens right away, please be sure to keep them moist and mulched. By doing this, you will prevent the heat from removing all that great organic material you’ve just mixed into your beds. Water is a staple of life, for both plants and the little microorganisms in the soil, and without it both will inevitably die. The mulch will help you control weeds, and if any do pop up, well, it’s a lot easier to pull weeds from mulch than it is from dense soil. mattRight before you plant your transplants or seeds, you could mix a modest handful of Gardenville Rocket Fuel at the bottom of the planting hole. Also, mix a little Espoma Plant Tone into the dirt when you plant. Happy Gardening!
