Preparing for Planting

Today’s entry looks at the right approach in preparing to plant. Before you start to plant, the soil should firstly be well prepared:

• Small stones which had emerged to the surface should be removed, as well as weed seedlings.

• Lumped clods should be disintegrate beforehand, so as to form a breadcrumb-like structure which is ideal for sowing and planting

• Try not to walk on the soil since your weight on the soil may result in compaction. (Tip : what you can do is to scatter short planks on the ground so to work from these)

• At this initial the planting stage, it would be a good idea to add fertilizers
