Bed prep ahead of spring #nodig #gardening #soilhealth

It's just a few weeks before we shall be popping new transplants in the ground. Also sowing carrots and planting a few early potatoes.
Now is a very good time to avoid any rush in the spring. Unless you still have snow!
1 Look for and remove the few weeds that have overwintered or are starting to grow now,.
2 Level and smooth the surface of beds with gentle, sideways passage of the rake, as I show here. Pass no deeper than 3-4cm / 1.5in. It's easy because winter frost has softened the lumps of compost.
No dig beds are now looking really good. They are ready to receive new plants all year long.
