What part of garden planning feels the most confusing right now? Drop it below — if you’re stuck, you’re definitely not alone.

Whether you’re working with garden beds, raised beds, or containers, soil texture (tilth) and nutrition are key to a successful season. Healthy soil sets your plants up for strong growth, higher yields, and less stress throughout the season. This is where our subscription level really helps — each week we answer questions like: How do I improve my soil? What’s the best amendment for this crop? How do I prep my bed for planting? Here’s how we approach it on our farm: 1. No-till methods: We’ve been using no-till for years. It can feel slower at first, but over time it builds healthy soil that keeps improving season after season. 2. Loosening soil with a broadfork: This creates beautiful tilth without disturbing the soil’s biodiversity or aggregates — giving you the benefits of tillage without the drawbacks. 3. Amending: After loosening, we apply compost for nutrients and soil structure, followed by a general organic granular fertilizer. 4. Level and ready: Once everything is loosened and amended, we smooth the bed flat — and voilà, it’s ready to plant! Soil prep might feel like the “invisible work,” but getting it right pays off all season long. And in our subscription sessions, we dive into these techniques with Q&A for your specific situation, so you can apply them confidently at home or on your farm.
