Start Prepping For Fall With These Vegetable Gardening Tips

The first step for creating a healthy Fall vegetable garden is clearing the dead plants and debris from the previous season. Cut back any old plants that have flowered (leave the roots undisturbed in the soil) and are past their best to make way for new growth. Sprinkle fresh compost on top of the soil several weeks prior to planting to ensure it's nutrient-rich and ready for new plants.
