Fall Soil Care: How to Prepare Your Garden for a Thriving Spring

Fall Soil Care: How to Prepare Your Garden for a Thriving Spring

A Simple Guide to Why Fall is the Best Time to Feed Your Soil:

As the growing season winds down, it’s tempting to put away your tools and wait for spring. But did you know that fall is actually one of the best times to give your soil a boost? By focusing on soil health now, you set your garden up for success next year. It’s all about feeding the "soil food web"—a natural, living network that helps plants grow strong. 

What is the Soil Food Web?

Think of soil as more than just dirt. It’s alive with tiny organisms like bacteria, fungi, and worms. These organisms work together to break down organic matter and turn it into nutrients that your plants need. This is the "soil food web." When plants grow, they pull nutrients from the soil, which can leave the soil food web depleted by the end of the season. That’s why fall is the perfect time to replenish and strengthen your soil.

Why Feed Your Soil in the Fall?

Feeding your soil in the fall brings several benefits:

  • Restores Nutrients: After a long growing season, your soil is often low on key nutrients. Doug Renu Pellet replenishes these reserves.
  • Supports Microorganisms: By adding organic fertilizer, you’re feeding the tiny organisms that make your soil healthy.
  • Improves Water Retention: It helps your soil hold onto moisture, which is especially important during the winter months.
  • Sustainable Gardening: Doug Renu Pellet is made from natural, organic ingredients that promote long-term soil health without the need for synthetic fertilizers.
