Check garden soil for crumbly texture, proper pH (6-7), and compaction before spring. Use compost, vermicompost, mulching, cover crops, and rainwater harvesting for healthy, sustainable growth.

Harvesting rainwater boosts soil health, plant growth, and conserves water in Greensboro gardens. Simple setups like barrels and filters enhance sustainability and drought resilience.

Mulching retains soil moisture, suppresses weeds, stabilizes temperature, and feeds soil microbiomes, promoting strong, resilient plants. Gerard's Green Garden advocates mulching and regenerative practices for sustainable gardening.

Gerard's Green Garden uses regenerative agriculture to restore soil microbiomes, boost water infiltration, increase nutrient density, and promote sustainable practices like no-till farming, cover crops, and vermicomposting.
