February 1, 2008, Newsletter Issue #327: Replenishing the Earth


1

Tip of the Week

If you have a garden that is used for vegetables like tomatoes, corn, squash and cucumbers, give your planting areas a rest by rotating crops. In the Fall, after harvest, rototil the planting site and lay down newspaper. Dampen the paper and cover it with several inches of compost and chopped leaves. On top of this, add three to four inches of fresh topsoil. Earthworms will help work these nutrients into the tired earth.

A second popular method of replenishing the soil is to grow a cover crop, such as alfalfa, and then rototil it into the earth.
