Using low-till and no-till methods will restore your soil’s physical characteristics, or tilth, and
promote carbon storage and a healthy soil ecosystem. Common techniques include
broadforking and double-digging to break up heavy soil, and tarping with durable plastic on the
soil surface to kill weeds and unneeded cover crops. Sheet mulching and hugelkultur, or
planting mounds from decaying wood and other materials, will boost organic matter.

garden come spring. Save most garden cleanup until daytime temperatures consistently reach
50°F.

Pruning reduces pests and diseases while maximizing fruit production. As the days lengthen,
prune your fruit trees and cane berries as instructed for that variety before buds begin to swell in
early spring. Compost all fallen fruit and prunings in another location.
