Spring Lawn Gardening - Tip#1

Well, happily, it's that time again...time for fresh blooms, pretty lawns and beautiful weather in Atlanta. Enjoy lawn tip 1:

• Preparing soil
  Once your soil has had a chance to thaw and lose some of its winter moisture, you'll want to prep it for planting.
  **Remove mulch over the course of several days, exposing the soil gradually.
  **Till or spade soil six to 12 inches deep.
  **Mix in compost, peat moss and fertilizer for plants or vegetables. For vegetable gardens, include processed or well-rotted manure in the mix (using fresh manure in the spring may burn or damage your plants).
  **Rake the soil level to smooth out low spots; pockets of water can make the soil cool, which slows plant growth.

If, like me, you don't have the time to beautify your own yard, let me know. I know some great landscapers that would be happy to assist you.

Happy Sunny Sunday! Have a great day!
