Fall is the ideal time to pull together your gardening tools, turn your existing garden soil, add compost from your worm bins (the ideal compost material), and add coir and dried leaves in order to have the most viable soil for your next planting season.
By treating your soil with worm compost and coir, you are enhancing your soil so that it has better water retention, aeration, drainage, and stability.
This way, the soil has more antibiotic properties to protect against pathogens and more natural plant growth hormones.
Experience has shown that by using worm compost, you greatly enhance your soil's viability.
I strongly urge the use of worm compost as this has the ability to reduce multiple types of bacteria that are pathogenic to animals and people.
Whether or not you plan to plant fall and winter items, preparing the soil for your next planting is paramount.
However, it would be ideal to give your "worked" soil about three to four weeks (more if possible) to "rest" and restore itself through the methods that you have just used.
Then your next planting season will have a much enhanced soil with proper balance to nourish your new plants.
Nutrition for your plants does not have to always come from chemical additives.
This is especially true when runoff occurs and damages lakes, streams, and wildlife.
By using a worm composting system, the liquid produced (compost tea) is an ideal fertilizing component for your plants.
It is natural and full of nutrients for your soil and plants, helping to keep the proper ph balance.
Compost and compost tea are great for use with potted plants.
Think of the whole process as being an integral part of the natural way of disposing of your scrap paper and food waste (not meats, animal bi-products, dairy, and limited citrus), contributing less to landfills, and helping the greening process.
May your gardening labors bear much fruit, beauty, and a true sense of joy for having been a part of your garden's creation.
