Part of what makes Monterey such a great place to live is the pride that homeowners take in their property. You can see that pride on full display outside starting with the gardens. Whether you’re planting in the front yard or back, there is some prep work you need to do to get your garden ready for spring. Here’s what needs to happen:
Collect Rain Fall
Rain is always an issue in California. There is a lot all at once and then long periods of dry spells. That mean you need to do the extra watering for your garden. Those efforts can be helped by collecting rainwater. A barrel can be position under your rainspout to collect gallons after every storm. That water will go a long way towards keeping your garden fed all spring long.
Fix Stakes and Trellis
Part of your garden might involve stakes and trellis. Now is the time to make sure those items have survived the winter and are ready to be put to use again. This is also a good time to move those things around if you want to reconfigure your garden area.
Clean Gardening Tools
Tools matter even in gardening. You want to make sure your garden tools are sharp and clean for the season. If they are rusty, then you might want to think about replacing them. Whatever is on the tools could make its way into your garden.
Create a Composting Area
Seasoned gardeners know the value of a compost area. This can be set up in a small bin or as a separate plot of your garden. Once it is set up, the compost area is a great spot for any organic waste from your kitchen and your actual garden. The goal is to keep the compost aerated. Before long, you’ll have nutrient rich fertilizer that your entire garden will benefit from.
