A good fertility program is the best way to prepare garden soil for spring planting, and winter is the time to begin the process. Analyzing your soil is the starting point.

Dwarf Fruit Trees Add Variety to Landscapes~by Ken Churches

Posted by: Kim_Hamilton on 01/14/2010 10:31 PM
Gardeners who like to try new things in the New Year might consider planting dwarf fruit trees, which add colors and shapes to the home landscape and greater variety to the family diet.

Wood Ashes as a Garden Fertilizer~by Ken Churches

Posted by: Kim_Hamilton on 12/16/2009 09:56 AM
At one time wood ashes were a chief source of potassium and much used in farming and horticulture. While not an important fertilizer anymore, wood ashes have become plentiful around many homes as more people turn to wood burning stoves and fireplaces for heat.
