Time to prepare the garden for spring planting of your tomato and vege seedlings. Traditionally, these seedlings are planted out during Labour Day weekend, so you have a few weeks to nurture your soil and make it the best it can be for summer crops. Dig your garden over thoroughly.
Some people go two spades deep to ensure the soil is nice and crumbly for good root growth. Add compost from your bin if you have it, or buy some. Then sprinkle with lime, blood and bone and a little potash. Fork it all in and leave for at least six weeks before planting.
